Incarnate Word (5-1) vs. Nebraska (5-2) Game Thread

[swoof]

I have differ on us fouling the shooter on the last two three point shots.

The kid fell without any contact and was awarded free throws. I guess we could have backed away but then he makes them and we look bad too. I know we should not have been in that situation, nor should the player be rewarded for doing the wrong thing.

Basically I see it as cheating and the officals rewarded him for it. And I hate the old saying, it ain't cheating unless they call, because that crew hadn't called any thing correct all night.

I didn't like it when McCrey did it for us against Kansas either.

Paul Biancardi was going on about this last night.

Yes thanks, and that was called on Benny. Maybe, just maybe maybe Shavon but no way in hell was it Benny.

And what will happen to the oficals from that game? Nothing right? Just hope they have a better night the next time out!

Agree that the zebras need to be held accountable for the bad calls.

You are correct, but we put ourselves in a position where the official could make a bad call. Close out properly from the correct angle and they can't make that bad call. We can worry about a blown call(s) that we can't do anything about or we can focus on what we can control which is closing out to the ball properly.

"A few points, a couple of plays, a low percentage shot someplace instead of one more pass and a higher percentage shot. Such a tiny thread in 32 or 40 minutes of basketball separates championship teams from those that struggle to win even half of their games. If you have you ever wondered how some some people win consistently while others lose consistently (often only by a few points), look no further."
