Providence Post Game Thread.

Is there a bigger drama queen in basketball than Carter? Always crying for a foul and never commits one himself. Then at least once a game he is on the floor feigning an injury. He is always back up a minute later running around like nothing happened.
 
we win.
Castle is now no longer in frosh mode.
motivation at the venue formerly known as the dunk
Cam shot horrible, not normal but made all his FTs.
Donovan will learn, PVD big was a good lesson for him
We faced adversity and won
Lots of tape for coaches
Hit the hot tub
PVD did everything they could to compete. They play hard football in hoops unis.
Corey, I'll never be a fan.
extra time to drink more with a long ass torturous game
Donny wtf?
Main announcer, yeah that was at XL dude? not "in this building"
Saturday will be early game, won't be up as late for this reason. We will shoot better.
i'm out.

We had 10 less fouls than them. I think we had like 5 or 6 at half. The 2nd half was officiated poorly in the sense that there wasn’t nearly as much leeway given as in the 1st half. But, it wasn’t favoring one team over another at all IMO.
 
English is a good coach. He had three things in his game plan he wanted to accomplish.

Turn Castle into a three point shooter. It worked for a bit until Castle started scoring at the rim. Very different than when teams did that to Jackson.

Have Oduro minimize Clingan which he did with help from Clingan.

And muck up the game because he knows PC wouldn’t stand a chance in a free flowing game. Refs helped this.
 
I'd really love to know which of the fouls called on Providence he thinks were not actually fouls.

The Friars' game plan was to dare the officials to call a foul on every possession. After the first five minutes, the officials took them up on their offer. I'm fine with the strategy -- trying to play bully ball was the only hope they had. Just don't complain when it (predictably) results in a ton of foul calls.
 
Tough game to watch but earned the win. Hope we never have to listen to Donny and Brando again. If this was the first game I watched this season I would have sworn that Providence was the #1 team in the country and Oduro will be a lottery pick. That’s what Donny and Brando made it sound like. Brando had no clue that Clingan picked up 2 fouls in the first 4 minutes. Just kept on going on and on about Oduro being the most important player on the court.

The post you initially blew a gasket too was me agreeing that one of the Oduro calls was very bad. I’m not complaining about individual calls because the refs were wildly inconsistent as a whole tonight. Wouldn’t even begin to know where to start. I think you might be projecting your frustrations a bit.

Every single one of Oduro's fouls were fouls. They missed a foul on us on (I think) Carter's drive in the first half that would have negated one of them.

The same cannot be said of Clingan. His second was a laughable call.
 
I think this game was good for us. We saw something new and didn't need to lose to learn the lesson. That is the sign of an elite team.

If Jalen Adams could have drawn fouls like Newton he would have been an all american. Newton should be an All American. He understands the game and can excel at most of it permutations. He was brilliant tonight.

Couple things that stood out to me:

1) PC was tough, as always. Gotta respect their grit. Carter is a true competitor.

2) Oduro could play, for sure. But Clingan’s foul trouble allowed Oduro to look like an All-American. At the end, when Clingan wasn’t afraid to foul out, you saw him stuff Oduro. Without foul trouble, that’s happening a lot more often. Between it being a very tightly called game and Clingan making some silly mistakes, he found himself in foul trouble early and never really recovered defensively,

We’ll take the the w and move on. It was a rock fight.

Castle 2-4 on threes tonight. Hopefully he builds on this, that second half one was huge

Refs started calling everything in the 2nd half after the chirping and double Ts
 
Hello BY our boy Steph was tied with leading scorer of the game. We played our C+ game they played their A game and we still won by 9. I just wonder if some folks here have ever watched a whole Big East season?
