I can only assume that the ref crew all caught a nasty case of Tourette’s, where the only tick was blowing their whistle. What an unwatchable game.
As an aside, given the proclivity of this crew to randomly blow at any given time, it is wild how few fouls Newton drew. He drew a ton of contact and was held and handchecked constantly. I think he was sitting at 3 FTs halfway through the second.

Would love to see Hurley do this with Newton one time to wake him up.
Game starts at 5:30. Calhoun calls a timeout at 6:00 to pull Dyson. Lol

This is the type of game that will only help us in the long-term should Clingan and the remainder of our lineup remains healthy.
As the small ball 5, Karaban keeps getting tougher down low and is adding more creativity to his cut game inside the arc. You’ll never know when we’ll need a small-ball lineup later this year and all the kudos to Karaban.
Despite his shooting struggles early in the game, Newton continues to showcase his ability as a closer. Love his poise and ability to play in a variety of tempos. He’s a cool guy, but I like his increase in toughness too and personally, it’s fun seeing him yap it up.
Spencer is a warrior. What a perfect fit with this team. Diarra is a perfect 3-and-D bench weapon.
So…who’s #1?

Tough game to watch with so many fouls being called. Still a double digit win in the Big East. I’ll take it.

alex and cam came to play. electric shooting.
this would have been a complete blowout if the refs didn't decide to officiate supreme cook like he was joel embiid.

A lot of the issues everyone was talking about in the chat are pretty much fixed with Clingan’s return. It’s amazing that when one guy is having an off game and we are without centers we can have two guys combine to go 11-15 from 3.

I told all of you worriers 3 weeks ago not to worry. He was in a slump and would work his way out of it.
Referees did not have a good day. Many of their calls were completely wrong.

With DC out, Karaban is our best center…always happy with wins, but something is going on with Sampson, it’s not pretty.

44 fouls and 63 foul shots in a game is ridiculous.
Love what we're seeing from Stewart. Doing all the little things to earn minutes. TOUGH couple of rebounds.
Ball is in a MAJOR funk. Gotta get his head right. His lack of handle isn't helping, and I think his vision of being a 3&D guy may not be right for him.
AK and Cam did their thing. Just absurdly talented and smart on the floor, both.of them. Cam had one play with a defensive eye fake... loved it.
Newton got his #s but is no leader right now. We can't have him shooting 20% night over night. Selfish play late, etc. Always a good passer, and gets his #s, but this isn't the player we need.
Castle was awesome getting to the line. Made a confident 3. Missed some easy ones, but all good experience. He's growing up.
Johnson is a huge disappointment right now, unfortunately. Fouling like crazy and not rebounding. The two things we need. We need more from him with or without Clingan back.
Hurley going ballistic over 50/50 calls and some good calls is not helping himself or this team. 0 self control. I love it, but it isn't good for us. Pick your spots brother.

Outstanding 3 point and FG shooting % for the fourth game in a row with Alex and Cam leading the way.
54.2% - 51.1% vs Georgetown
45.8% - 54.4% vs X
38.5%- 54.5% vs Butler
46.2% - 58.2% vs DePaul
Going to win a lot of games if we can keep this up.
The team also seems to be playing “tougher” these last few games, especially Karaban. I liked how Spencer came in and gave a forearm shove to Cook after Cook came at Newton.

Solo had 13 turnovers in 3 mins? Impressive. Starters did well for 0 mins too.

Spencer and Karaban were lights out from outside and Castle was getting points at the line from taking it to the bucket. Jaylin Stewart was big in the second half as he gave us some strength that Johnson just lacks. Johnson really is a backup center for change of pace. Not a starter as he can't rebound and not strong enough on defense.

How can Stewart be 1-1 in shots but 0 pts in the score column?

Newton is forcing too much. He has to go back to choosing his spots until he gets out of this funk he is in. How many times did he get blocked on layups today? It was embarrasing.
