I'd say yes. Played a lot ofvguys. Played tough. Showed grit in tough gym. Some guys like O'Boyle, Ace and Kanye made clutch shots in key moments.
Ace only made 3 FGs tonight. He did shoot great from the FT line.
Disagree with that. He isn't as physical as the post players he is playing against, but he is not a post player. He took a few shots that I think some officials would have called a F1, but they couldn't foul Reese out of the game. MD would have lost. His shot is starting to come around, he has a high BB IQ. We just need Aire back so Leo can play the 3-4 position.
They did call a lot of ticky tack fouls on PSU and let Maryland get away with some elbows and push offs and the one O’Boyle took was the worst foul of the night and nothing is called.
No, and add 23 offensive rebounds and you lose. The free throws are always by double digit advantage when we play Mary land there. I think Reese should have fouled out of the game, but a number of times he whacked us with his elbows and they let it go. He used his elbow twice on O'Boyle, half of his attacks against Wahab could have been called. They won't get those calls at State College.
Be a top 80-90ish team, win 6-7 games in the Big Ten, win the rest of our non-conf games…basically right around what I would have expected this year.
He was a 4* recruit out of high school. Played with a loaded Miami team. He is a 6'10" athletic post player. Should help us.
We have to win enough and show enough improvement to avoid players entering the portal. We don't lose much at the end of this year, and we have a decent group coming in. Keeping them together is the key.
That had me thinking....if he had slugged him he still woulda gotten a T eventhough timeout was called.
Yes, the only thing you can do there is call nothing, or call a flagrant. It was close, but I thought the play on was the right call (the one earlier as he was shooting was much worse I thought, and could have definitely been a F1).
Still should have been a technical…you can’t throw an elbow even if there’s a time out.
You can absolutely call a technical for something after a time out is called. As long as the players are on the floor, they can call a technical for anything unsportsmanlike.
As I stated, the only foul you can call there is a Flagrant…you can’t call a common foul.
Not sure anymore. When I coached and refereed high school, you commit that kind of foul even if there was time out it would have been a technical. No longer have technicals, but that was really bad. He gave Leo his elbows a number of times and we didn't get the call. Just a little history - 2015 we lose there by 6, get outshot 38-16 from the line.
I am not too sure, but I don't think there are technicals called on plays anymore. That should have been a F1 inspite of the fact that there was timeout. Having a TO called shouldn't give anyone the okay to throw an elbow like that one. He wasn't making any kind of basketball play, just threw an elbow to clear some space. Reese should have fouled out of the game he committed so many fouls, but ended up with 2???
So if they can’t call technicals anymore, what do they do if a player tells a ref he sucks balls?
As long as he says ‘Not that there is anything wrong with that’ it’s good.🤷🏼♀️
