Cinci Postgame Quotes

I feel for cv. But maybe this last wild play is the final wake up call he needs to tighten his game up a little bit more. He’s improved a lot from last year but still a bit to go. Might be blessing in disguise

I wouldn’t be shocked if he goes straight to the gym when they get back to campus at like 3am lol he seems like the type of kid Hurley would have to yell at to go get some sleep

Vital's bravado has irked me in the past, but damn if he hasn't won me over in the end.

He reminds of the good parts of Dyson. Better natural leader. Dyson made sure Kemba didn’t the keys for whatever reason.

Exactly. It's obviously a common foul though. Refs were bad and it's inexcusable they reviewed that and called it a flagrant but it's silly when some fans try and say it wasn't a foul or that Vital pushing off at the end wasn't a foul.
Expand ...
Vital flagrant could been worse. Did Cincy score on the free possession? His bump st the end was a foul. Sids bump. Meh.
 
The flagrant to me was basically the refs calling it an intentional foul after the fact even though they couldn’t call it intentional after review so they went with the only thing they could which is total bs imo. If it’s not called live an intentional, move along.
 
I love Vitale. He is nails. Nobody plays harder. You could almost sense the realization in his comments that he needed to get the ball to someone more equiped to deliver. It's like he finally understands his limitations a beat too late but at the same time is going to push past those limitations and win us one at some point. Heartbreaking and positive all at once.

When your first contact with the guy is all ball, then you are definitively making a play on the ball. It’s not a flagerant, by rule, if you are making a legitimate play on the ball. No clue what the refs were watching there, because it wasn’t the same replay we all saw, that’s for sure

I said during chat I thought it was a foul but definitely not flagrant. Vital came over from the right to the point that he got just ahead of Cumberland, got his left hand on the ball, but did hit with the body. Cumberland also shouldered into him, but I saw foul on Vital, two shots, no flagrant.
 
As a fan you get discouraged when a player takes a weak swipe and doesn't foul hard enough to assure no easy lay in. When CV hustled down to make the play he certainly had the intent to not allow him to make an easy shot but also made sure he got the ball. I was watching it with my son and said "good foul" immediately. Rewinding it I said nice foul and there's no way on earth they can call a flagrant. Atrocious call and needs to be looked at because 3 guys can not come to the conclusion that foul isn't just a good basketball play, no way. The 3 of them were awful the whole game but having time to look at a play and still coming up wrong? Unbelievable.

Trust me, seeing the video would just confuse you more. It wasn’t a flagrant at all. In fact, it was an awful foul call. Got 100% ball
Expand ...
You’re kidding right?

It was 100% a foul. No way it was a flagrant foul, but if you don’t think that’s a foul, you’re crazy.

Humility goes a long way. He's a keeper.

Approached the last play the wrong way....but the kid made a number of big threes just to keep us in the game.

Looking forward to him and Al anchoring the backcourt next season.

Does anyone have video/can explain the flagrant, I didn’t get to see it, thanks!
Expand ...
I don't have video but I felt strongly it was a very bad call. Vital played the ball, it was not excessive, and the Cincy player stepped into Vital at the last second, making it seem worse than it was. Very bad call and it hurt us.

Should have been a jump ball. Fantastic defensive play.

Dick Vitale is playing for us? Is Hurley getting desperate or what. :eek:

Vital deff pushed off in the end but that deff was not a flagrant against him. Terrible call
Expand ...
Yeah CV pushed off but the Cinci guy reached in and hit his arm right before that and the refs let that go - really amazingly horrible and mostly one sided called game
 
Reminded me of the AAC semis a couple years ago when Cincy beat us like 60-50 and had probably 40 points from the line
 
Jump ball? LMAO I can't believe people are claiming that wasn't a foul. It wasn't a flagrant, but you can't charge into a guy like that and say it's not a foul just because your hand was on the ball. Vital created the contact, he wasn't in a "defensive position". He charged into him, gave a good hard foul by playing the ball, and the refs decided they were in Cincinnati and therefore had to give a flagrant. The end.
 
Been all-in in CV as a Husky since his first year. His is the kind of maturation and grit we have wanted to see from Jalen over his own four years. I’m looking forward to seeing how the team follows his lead next season.

He and Al will be a dangerous duo.

How are people still spelling Vital's name wrong?
Expand ...
Same way people still call Rashad Anderson "Rashard" and still call Jalen Adams "Jaylen" (I just saw that this past week).

It is strange to me that people are big enough fans to be spending time on here but don't know the players' names. It's not like a football team with 100 players. There are only 13 of them in basketball.

Bad memory. We won that game 81-71. We played you guys 3 times that season you never even lead for 1 second of any of the games. The whining after that game was awful. Part of the reasons why I hope the tournament is never on a good teams home floor again.

Brian Shirefs was a gritty QB for us

I remember that game and it was quite obvious the refs had decided the game before it started. A lot like the other night without the difference in foul shots UConn kicked your ass. If you don’t like the whining and honest truth go back to your own board and stroke Mick some more

At some point you need to rank the best and worst round of 32 exits. Would be a sweet blog.
