Week of 1/15/24 Other Games

[3rdbass]

That one fan is almost mic’d up.

He sounds like me at a UCONN game. LOL!

 

[ecasadoSBU]

Another painful 1-pt for the Johnies and Pitino. Wow

Fact-checked myself: overestimated attendance by 3k. Lol. I guess thats why i use glasses. Hahaha

North Carolina struggling early against BC down 18-17.

 

[storrsroars]

Watching some Purdue/Iowa. It has to be deflating to get an all-ball block on Edey but get called for a foul. I guess the refs believe it's not possible.

 

[How Sway?!]

Is it too crazy to say that Kadary cost Seton Hall the game with the iso ball in OT? Has there been a less efficient triple double?

 

[aceboon]

That clutch 3 that Alexander made…that the textbook example of what the refs are supposed to call as an offensive foul. Clearly flailed his legs out towards the defender & flopped.

Instead, they called the one on Newton the other night for doing nothing.

Big East needs to clean house with their officiating crews.

Yea definitely an unnatural kickout but the SH defender not falling down probably saved him

 

[Bomber36]

A

So getting 90 percent of the calls weren’t enough lol.

I don’t care, but apparently that’s how the SH fans felt, by the sound of it.

It's not too crazy, but otoh, if you've got Kadary's history and skill, you're probably thinking you're gonna make some of those layups.

He flew out his legs but missed the Seton Hall guy.

 

[Rico444]

That was an exciting game to watch, but man. The refs in this league are so bad. Not to say that every game in the past was called perfectly, but one out of every three or so games is practically unwatchable. The drama in Creighton/Hall was fantastic, but the style of play allowed by the refs is frankly embarrassing. They're letting Seton Hall just clobber on Creighton all day long. That is not good basketball.

 

[mussels]

UCF managed to score 14 points in the first half Against Houston

 

[Ctedgeman]

I don't like a leg kickout like that being an offensive foul. Just a no call is fine. As long as you never call it a defensive foul if contact is made then the players who do it purposely will stop because there will be no benefit. Making the refs have to determine if it's natural or not just add more calls for them to get wrong and be subjective about. Even if it's natural and contact is made, the shot is already up and not affected. Just no call no matter what if the leg is out.

 

[gsmooth]

Kadary 8-32, felt like half of them were right at the rim.

Kalkbrenner altered a lot his shots. Kalkbrenner was outstanding this game.

 

[HooperScooper]

If you watch a lot of college basketball you'll see the refs all around kind of suck. Basketball is a very hard game to call and there just aren't that many people on the planet that are great at it. I really don't think it's just a Big East thing like we always harp on here. The best refs are in the NBA and every level below that is hit or miss.

 

[superjohn]

Kalkbrenner was great but most of those misses were Kalbrenner being in his head because they were basically clean layups he was shorting.

 

[REB1094]

Man that Creighton game was fun. Good thing UConn wasn’t playing in it or else I would have been insufferable

Great game for Kalkbrenner. Dominated the paint

Kadary is Seton Hall basketball encapsulated. Not the most skilled or talented, but an absolute bulldog who is getting to where he wants whether you’re there or not. 21 points, but 32 shots to get it. Damn

Five guys played 50+ minutes today

 

[storrsroars]

While it's a game nobody cares about, it does feature a familiar name scoring a career high.

100%, on the incompetency of these clowns. Somewhere along the line Driscoll's crew decided that the rules of the game ( blatant hand checking and none stop fouling) by the less talented team ( Seton Hall) is just fine & no longer matters. And refs manipulating the outcome is part of the rule book, SMH! The Big East needs need a sitdown with all of them (alot of Big East refs on the rule book inconsistency ) or a suspension until the get it into their thick heads that allowing a one team hack fast is not acceptable. Or trying to make up the foul count (another scheme BE refs pull) when it's clear as day that only one team is the aggressor.

Don't agree at all, exhibit A is that once the NCAA's start they all step up and call the games right. Because even BE refs know they won't advance if they disregard the rule book. As we all know and saw last year .......as DH said, once again, recently.

 

[Rico444]

I feel like the refs lose control of the game once a week in this conference. They let the game become a street fight and then wonder why their warnings don't do anything. Karaban took an elbow to the forehead last week, no call. Ashworth the same thing today. When a player is walking around dripping blood on the court, that's usually a pretty good indication he got fouled.

 

[BGesus4]

Houston was prob relieved to see an AAC team

 

[Edward Sargent]

Listened to the Creighton game on Sirius radio Creighton station. The announcer was going nuts yelling that one ref was "garbage" for calling a foul on Creighton and not calling a foul on Ashworth at the end of regulation! I guess we aren't the only ones with stripe issues!!

Good for Diggins. I wish him luck. No ill will. He quickly realized he was in over his head at UConn and transferred out quickly and opened a spot for Hurley to fill with someone who could contribute more.
