Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 2145571, member: 534"] So you made me watch that, and it made me watch the San Diego State game again. In 2011, I didn't have HD TV, so watched most of the tourney on the PC. But that game, I never saw in HD, and I really thought it was the best game of the tourney, so I watched t again. And I ended up analyzing it like I do games all season long. A little different perspective, since it's all former players, but... [B]2011 NCAA Sweet Sixteen matchup.[/B] [LIST=1] [*]Roscoe intermittently had lousy form on his jumper, where he bent at the waist while in the air. [*]Speaking of jumper form, one of the announcers was raving about Kemba's [I] 'picture perfect form' [/I]on 3 pointers. Didn't a Charlotte shooting coach work with him to change his form and get his 3 point average up by like 20%? [*]SD State repeatedly (I counted 3 in the 1st half) went out of bounds without the ball to gain an advantage and it was never called. But Rodney got called for it several times this season, when he did it inadvertently, to no real advantage. [*]Roscoe had a great stretch in the first half, rebounding at both ends and shot blocking. [*]The officiating was so much better than anything we saw this year, it's astounding. In particular I liked a SDS shot clock violation where we'd taken the rebound of the late miss, the refs just let them play on instead of whistling and making us inbound, which rewards the offending team by giving them a chance to set up a press if they want. [*]Freshman Bazz played good[I] (but not nearly lock down like his senior self)[/I] man D. On offense, he mostly deferred to Kemba, and to Lamb as well, but still had some spectacular plays. [*]Oriakhi made the most mumu play of the game, inbounding the ball directly to a san diego state player following a SDS bucket at about 9:25, and the subsequent layin gave them a 4 point lead. Yet somehow, it turned out for the best. Calhoun called time out to scream at AO, and that's when Jamal Franklin shoulder bumped Kemba as both headed to their respective benches. From that point on, Kemba was en fuego. He went on a 14-0 run to turn their 4 point lead into a 10 point deficit. [*]Kemba and Lamb scored all but 4 of our 2nd half points. [*]Lamb was damned good. His go-go-gadget arm interception of an entry pass was major cool. [*]We lost 3 guys to transfer after that season, got Kasongoed and still turned out OK a few years later. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
