  • my issue with the end of the creighton sdsu game.....

    From michael anderson@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 26 13:42:59 2023
    yeah he fouled him at the end a little and *I agree* if that the refs SHOULD NOT just swallow the whistle in the final few secs. If it's a foul with 10 mins left then it's a foul with 2 seconds left as well.....

    The problem is that that sort of contact *WASN'T* a foul in this game at the 10 minute point.

    He had his had applying some pressure on his side just above his hip as the sdsu shooter got off the floater. The problem was sdsu(and creighton to a lesser extent) was bodying up on cuts and shots more than that all game long without it usually being
    called.

    So if the "call the last few seconds the way you call the whole game" premise is going to be applied, then that shouldn't be a foul.....

    Me? I was fine with that being a foul there and being called.....I thought it was a foul. But at the same time if that is a foul I think SDSU is fouling a hell of a lot more than they are being called throughout the game. The whole premise of their
    defense is literally bodying up and grabbing the opponent when they cut and jump......

    You a UConn fan Mikey?

    I hope they get to play UConn and rough them up a bit, maybe break a nose
    or two.

    If that's the case, that's the problem. It's a clear shooting foul. Plain as day.
