Tristen gave him a hard foul and pulled him down in the process and that's when Cook immediately jumped into his face and barked on him "wtf are you doing" or something to that effect. not sure what Newton said to him afterwards but it's kinda wild that the refs had to deliberate for a second and hand out double Ts instead of a prompt T to Cook right off the rip. it looked like Newton was just looking at him and laughing.
They took 6 points away from us, 3 from TN and 3 from AK due to SJ's pick foul.
I think it's the smile he seems to always have. They think he's getting away with something they didn't see.
So you think that this refereeing is a net positive for the league? Lmaooo
What happens if UConn were to leave the Big East?
SJ stuck his hip out as the defender passed it was a foul. Actually SJ comes close to fouling on most screens he sets. Maybe I am not fully versed on what is allowed while screening in the new BE, but he definitely impacted the defender’s ability to get to the shooter. The call on TN was just bad.
That's not what your argument was, you said it did not serve them well in the tournament. I countered that they have won 3 of the last 7 championships.
The big east continues to be a top 3 league and UConn continues to be a blue blood, so nothing really changes
Glad you posted this as someone on the game chat took issue with me saying Cook should be T’d for getting in Newtons grill. At least it turned out I was right, or half right.
I hear that Georgetown guy knows his way around the kitchen…
The ref baiter supreme giving hints to his player. WOW
Agree on SJ's foul, not TN's though.
Yes this could be problem. I did not know he was that bad. I hope he isn’t bringing mothers, wife’s, family and girlfriends into the trash talking. Hearing that Cook said “you can’t say that sh….et” is concerning. Did some research and it appears Cook is a pretty solid kid. So Danny needs to reign that in. But it explains a lot because you know the refs are hearing what he is saying and if he is crossing the line then it makes the lack of calls a little easier to understand. I don’t get to go to a lot of games in person since I live in way South Florida, so was nir aware he talked that much trash.
We don't disagree. Any one that's played sports at a high level knows that refs are part of the game. I don't want to extend this deal about the refs having it for out for us. I'll just say-As an athlete or a coach- You have to deal with it and try to get the W. It's not something you can/should take personally to the detriment of the team winning the game.
Ref iced him
Newton is so smart, probably went unnoticed but on one possession with probably 5 minutes left and clock running inbounder rolled ball to him and he drained 6-8 seconds off game clock while shot clock did not start until he touches the ball. Creighton did not allow this again, very intelligent play.
Chief, where is your creighton brief? Always enjoy them
Referees have never been this serious.
Newton Spencer and Hurley are a lot for the refs. Love that Stewart seems to have a little chip as well. They took the flame Andre left behind. Except now we have 3 hot headed players!!!!!
I didn't see the game live, but I watched the replay and this stood out to me. Literally an NBA move, the leading team rolling the ball up court to drain the game clock while the shot clock doesn't start until he touches it.
Newton always rolls the ball up court. But, yeah, when I watched that, I'm thinking "pick up the ball Tristen".
Some how I lost it on my phone before publishing. I tried recovering it but no luck.
First "mattresses" and now this? It may be time for a new phone!
It is an Iphone13 and new ones are 15 now. I think it is more operator error though. I touch the screen that delete or operationalize functions without realizing. Just noticed my flashlight function was on after clearing snow.
I find Tristen to be a very pleasant guy, who considers himself an introvert compared to Hassan. But, true sometimes he may substitute expressions for words.
You think Newton is "hot headed"?
