Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4220220, member: 181"] #21 - Oral Roberts and Michigan recently put on late-game presses that resulted in fighting during the handshake because of the winning team having a player dunk on a steal or the winning coach call a time out. Hurley subbed starters back in and avoided the brawl. Pretty solid after getting ejected on Tuesday, even if I'm mostly joking. #25 - Solid game on stats and to the eyes, with an interesting exception I'm starting to track. AJax is so resistant to taking the ball to the rim strong that he again dumped the ball off to somebody else too poorly positioned (Sanogo' s barreling offensive foul) and twice needlessly kicked out to Martin with a short clock remaining. Once, it was a rushed, missed 3. The other time, it was a rushed, missed drive to the hole. Each time, the result was a non-assist on a 'worse' shot than might have come from a player with a more confident 'take it to the hole strong' game. Later in the game, AJax got the ball deep and actually went up quickly & made the basket. If he develops this possibility in his game watch out. For now, it's clear that there's no stat recorded for those non-plays, but they registered in my mind a quasi-turnovers. [/QUOTE]
