Big East Games Thread - March 1

[jibsey]

On rebounds, especially defensive rebounds, they are over the top (no calls) pushing guys out of position (no calls) and only if they hit the hands of Marquette player rebounding they got one whistle. Off ball calls will be in the NCAA not Big East

How do we know the reffing will be different? I heard this a lot here but what is the evidence?

I'm watching St John's pressure Marquette's inbounder with the defender"s toes over the line and refs aren't calling it.

Marquettee up 2 with under 4 timeout. Cam with an unreal shot over the St. John's big. Going down to the wire.

The 12 games we've played in the NCAA Tournament the last 2 years

Marq has one of the more likable rosters. Jones, Ross and Joplin are hard not to root for

Not sure if it will be, but traditionally it has been. Pittsburgh went through that for years. Were over the top physical and got away with it in the Big East, then ran into an officiating crew who called everything. They would get frustrated and inevitably lose the game. St. Johns plays great defense, but can be overly physical. Will be interesting how the games are called.

Marquette just killing themselves on the line.....If they make 75% FTs they would be winning this game.

 

[gsmooth]

Come on Marquette!

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Samson gets called for that screen 12 times out of 10.

Agreed. That whole team is home grown...I think that's a large reason Hurley respects them so much.

 

[gsmooth]

Kam Jones is a baller

 

[6Nattys4Us]

Wow Marquette with the ball up 1 with 28.9 s left vs St. Johns…great game

I have a hard time watching Beaker

 

[aceboon]

Joplin didn't see Ross there in the corner?

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Damn. OT.

 

[navery12]

All these good options for Marquette on offense and they give it to Beaker for the final shot?

 

[3rdbass]

Marquette misses another FT for his team and St. John's score. Now going to OT.

 

[superjohn]

Overtime. Ben Gold stinks, he cleared out the Johnnies player with an illegal screen, then bricks a wide open three, then shoots a ridiculous runner.

 

[sdglast]

Just way to many missed free throws. Can't win that way.

 

[HuskyHawk]

How was that not a foul?

 

[Ctedgeman]

Joplin shoulda passed to the corner for wide open 3

 

[Scoe]

Cuts into our start time happens all the time and their just wasting time with this review.

 

[Hi-Low]

Just start OT already

 

[SoFla Steve]

Damn. OT.

Yep, gonna delay the start of our game.

 

[Scoe]

People complain that the pace of baseball games were long BE games are just as bad.
