Week of 1/15/24 Other Games

Wow, fun game. Seton Hall was shafted. Hope they win. Great Big East basketball today!!!!

You can never say Seton Hall was shafted. They get away with murder every game. I mean I get they play hard for Holloway and pretty good defense but it helps when you give guys like Wusu and #10 fouls each a game but only calm a percentage of them. This was once again a horribly officiated game but fun to watch. Happy the Jays finished it.

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.

They aren’t bad and their last 2 losses were without Matt Cross who’s their best player and we’d love to have. Physically tough, smart, good rebounder and can score. Martin not doing a bad job considering how many decent players he lost in the portal (Luis at StJs, Fernandes and Gapare).

I'm actually okay with how bad the Big East refs are (presumably) biased against UConn. It's certainly frustrating in the moment, but if IIRC, Calhoun built teams who could seemingly shift playing styles based on opponent. The elite years could bang bodies like a football game vs Pittsburgh and run and gun vs. Texas and Duke.
IOW, they take what the are given.

5 vs. 8 in conference play can only help in Out of Conference games, and if one hasn't noticed l, the NCAA Tournament typically assigns OoC refs.

I guess we aren't the only ones with stripe issues!!

Here is the thing. Some observers will see both fan bases complain and conclude the refs are seeing it even and fair, so the refs must be doing a good job. In fact both fan bases could be right. In that case, both fan bases can and should complain, if the officiating is poor.

I know I will get flamed for this, but I almost always, not always, see the officials as unsung heroes. Without them there can't be a game played. Also, I don't criticize the officials all that much as I think calls over the course of many games even out (notice I didn't say "a game" necessarily).

Having said that, they are not above reproach and they must keep their integrity intact meaning no connections to sports betting and to not hold grudges. The Creighton-Seton Hall game today by the officials,... let's just say it wasn't their finest work. Seton Hall was getting away with so much. Greg McDermott had every reason to be pissed off today. I expect the home team to get the favorable calls in basketball, football, and hockey. However, the home team advantage with officiating shouldn't be so enormous (i.e. Providence at the AMP last year versus UConn).

7 made FGs in a full game

 

[NJHusky]

Texas by 2 over Baylor

How much does that win help our resume?

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Umm…

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

7 made FGs in a full game

Yeah, but 71% were assisted.

I meant Davis #14 nice player but if refereed as it should be he would’ve fouled out early in regulation. Whoever he’s guarding he holds and stops with a forearm any drive bys. They’re tough and play hard but refs suck!

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.

Then they call a touch foul that I can't even find on replay that wiped out a score that ended up forcing another OT. Incredibly bad today.

They all do on that squad. I'm beyond impressed that Creighton withstood a game called right up SHU's alley. If the BE was called like other conferences SHU's toughness would be benched with foul trouble every game.

Crack must be fun

Wait until you watch our game. Has Brian O’Connell been sighted today?

A seton hall v Houston game would be an interesting watch

 

[Kolumbo]

I'm not saying the Big East needs to add anyone today but with Dayton you got no complaints. It's not like it would be taking a Flyer on a program. Dayton has a larger enrollment than Nova, Seton Hall, Creighton, Xavier, Butler and PC. And the BE would have the top 2 basketball programs in Ohio.

Kansas down to WVU late in the second half, and Arizona down 10 to UCLA. Upset alerts.

Losing to Syracuse, now that's embarrassing.

 

[aceboon]

[kobe]

tfw mick blows the game for his team but you remember you lost today and are playing ku on monday off a loss to conclude a stretch of playing 6 straight ranked teams

 

[Jimdish255]

This is easily the worst officiating crew I’ve seen this season.

What do Big East officials get paid versus other conferences?
