Great Teams find a way to win

I didn't realize Sanogo was so good and Emoni Bates looked legit.

Also, Clingan played well in the 2nd half but more like a rookie in the 1st. It's good for everyone we dont need to rely on him necessarily. But even when he was looking like a freshman in the first half, he was still affecting shots. So even if he's not playing great, he still adds that block threat.

But yeah, hes not Sanogo. Sanogo is a man.

Not Emoni… it’s Manny. Different guy.

Need all those people sayin we were better with Clingan on the court over sanogo to eat a whole plate of crow tonight. No knock on Clingan, but Sanogo is the All-American center (this year).

I'm way behind on this thread. Caught the game in type delay.

This Clingan vs Sanogo thread will continue to be stupid all year and any individual game comparison is meaningless.

Sanogo should be better most games and will be better most games.

There will be games where Clingan outperforms Sanogo.

Yo. I was telling my lady about that Sanogo quote. Not sure he meant it to sound as cold as it was. But that was some cold blooded talk. “They thought they could win, but they could not”

Probably gonna be a theme.

He said it kind of matter of factly. Didn't sound like he was doing it to be disrespectful of the other team and I don't think he was trying to be funny. I think he was just answering a question in a language that's not his native language. Jackson and Hawkins thought it was funny though.

The smirk on Andre and Jordans faces is priceless

Plus, Clingan had almost a rebound a minute and didn't miss a shot.

The box score says he was 2-2 from the field but I swear he missed a layup. I remember saying something to my son about how he has pretty good touch around the basket and almost never misses bunnies like that. Anyone else remember this? Or maybe I'm just getting old. Lol

Did the miss lead to an offensive goaltending call? Cause that happened.

That's what I was thinking. I know he missed a shot or two cause he looked rattled from missing a bunny put back that he was used to making all season. The commentator even mentioned him missing after being perfect the last game

Yes he missed a bunny then got called for goaltending.

Nah, don't let the people off the hook for wanting Alleyne benched ... Def felt like they were out there. Someone started an entire thread to bash him.

Took the words out of my mouth or fingers. I definitely saw a fair share of posters saying that.

Yup, that's what I remember also. Whatever. Just was wondering if my mind is going. :)

He did, he missed a layup and got called for basket interference trying to tip his miss in. The boxscores have been a mess all season.
 
Did anyone else notice how bad the clock operator was? On that Butler possession to end the first half, the charge was called at 20.3 seconds, yet the clock operator let 5 full seconds run off before the clock was stopped. Not sure that constitutes an advantage per se; it was just very JV.

By the time Butler cut it to 4, many of those in the chat room were demanding multiple players get benched. It is hard to single out which demand was the most ridiculous.

If that’s the case (i only saw the second half), he gets a turnover and the shot attempt is wiped out - the theory being the shot hadn’t officially “missed” yet if the ball was still in the cylinder.

Yeah I wasn't in the chat tonight. And I was referring to the many over the top message commented thrown towards Alleyne in threads from a couple weeks ago

And it was great when you kept inserting, "Chill. I'm expecting a 22-point margin. This is a Top 5 team on the road against a likely NIT team."

I read the title of this thread and laughed - This phrase is usually uttered when a good team kinda grinds out a close win over a bad team.

WE SMOKED THEM. 22 points! And they are pretty good!

This team is kinda nuts. I know people have been comparing them to other years I see 98/99 team - the sum is greater than the parts

Well yeah, but when the home crowd got loud and Butler cut the lead to 4, it felt like it was going be the too-close-for-comfort road win that some posters predicted in the Game Score thread, but then things got away from them and it ended up 22.

Looking at the box score, one thing that jumps out is that we allowed 4 offensive rebounds on 38 misses. 4. That is insanely good cleaning up the glass.

Also, they were very wary of the UConn break.
