Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 3806765, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]Way too many mistakes early -- bad passes, poor defensive rebounding, too many cheap fouls, etc. And yet we were up by 11, 9 minutes in, before the wheels fell off. [*]Ball started to fall for DePaul, and our mistakes started to cost us, bigtime. Lead evaporated quickly. [*]These announcers talk way too much. Wasn't Bahe like the last guard off the bench guard for Creighton 5 or 6 years ago? And how'd Alexander get a basketball gig? Nascar and BBALL are two different demographics, aren't they? [*]Announcer [I](Don't know which one)[/I]: "Whaley almost got away with a travel there." Evidently, he went to the Billy Packer School of basketball announcing. Fudgy used to make that same blunder every other game or so. He apparently meant to say that Whaley almost traveled, or that Whaley got away with a travel. One or the other. But instead, he came out with something that means Whaley traveled, and the ref almost missed calling it. Or maybe the closest ref did miss it, but the guy half way across the court called it. [*]Watching live, I was sure that the play at the start of the 2nd half was a bad call. Two guys going after a pass in mid air, both of them have the same right to the ball and consequently, the space to get it. Incidental contact is pretty much a given in that situation. Ref called it a foul on Isaiah. [I]Video clip below[/I]. [*]Too much double teaming guards with a big out near half court. They got too many uncontested or poorly contests bunnies because of it. [*]How did we get out rebounded? by 10? [*]Depaul did not score for the last 4:29, and only attempted two shots in that time. The 2nd of those misses was followed by FOUR. CONSECUTIVE. TURNOVERS. Go ahead, read the last three words again, just for fun. [*]The last 6 minutes or so, Martin made up for a whole lot of mistakes and sloppy play earlier. [*]Both teams embarrassed themselves from the field and from the line. [*]The only two statistic battles we won decisively were blocks (6-2) and steals (16-3!). [*]I think the box score screwed Akok out of a block. It says 0, but I distinctly remember him getting one. I would search for it, but I ain't really up for sitting through that ugly debacle again.
