Postgame BU 77 Drake 75- 2 OTs

[2bradleyfans]

Sam Singh can never be 'great'. He is far too limited physically to ever be a legitimate difference-maker on either end of the floor.
He can be a solid locker room guy that gives you 10-15 decent minutes a game...hopefully he isn't needed for anything more than that next year.

Wow,

I see it way different.

SS is smart, got lean, getting meaner, getting smarter, knows the system , and will have unparaleled confidence next year, he is a definate stabilizing factor. Becoming a real leader.

ER3, are you to tell me we can get somebody that can replace the above listed benefits off the D-1 scrap heap of recruiting?

How about the Drake fan walking down to the almost behind the Bradley bench during FT's yelling "Who's got shooter?"

Ah, 70's adult film mustache Drake fan.. He was a real choice character. Aside from that, my ears are ringing and I'm too tired to type anything else.

That's the way I'm understanding it as well. Apparently you cannot have an alley-oop on an out of bounds play. If you do, then it never really happened as no time comes off the clock.

I have seen Dwight Howard end a game against the Spurs on an inbounds alley-oop with less than a second. But maybe NBA rules are different. Either way, I think it was the right call. That was a nice shot by EM! I think TW did touch it with the tip of his finger, but that didn't matter.

That Drake fan was a piece of work. I think he was from the large contingent of Bucky Cox family members. Other than that act, they were nice folk.

Thanks to the security guy who stopped him the 4th time he tried to do it and told him to "go back to your seat and sit down".

Alley-oop plays are OK, in fact they are the only kind of shot that would be good with 0.3 seconds left. But these refs ruled TW did not touch the ball. That's why they put the 0.3 seconds back on the clock. If TW had touched it, the clock would have started and the time would have expired.

Wish I could have watched since I had other commitments. I hope they put the game on-line soon!

Anyway, sounds like a memorable game. I was checking the scores on my cell phone and was aghast we were down by 9 pts at one time in the 1st and 2nd halves. Way to go Braves!

See y'all in St. Louis!

Exactly, and it looked to me and many others that he did in fact touch it. He even said so himself on the post-game radio show. The game should have been over at that point. How all the officials missed it, I don't know.

WEEK had a camera angle from just under the basket on Theron's "tip"--

Lets just be glad that we won this and we didn't have video evidence that we should have...

Can you imagine the hysteria that would have occurred? We won. Let's just enjoy it -- we dont need the style-points-ending!

Just trying to understand the ruling that was made on a seemingly important play at the time.

Nice article Dave. Thanks.

Also, the second year in a row ending the season on a 2OT thriller in a meaningless game. But last year was ridiculously high scoring. At least we won this year, just for the momentum effect.

[brocks]

Didn't we have one of these wild OT games with Drake at Carver during the Mo era? Can't recall exactly but it seemed a little deja vu.

TW no doubt touched the ball...the reason why the probably called it was because maybe some of the ball was already inside the hoop....that'd be goal-tending. I don't think the refs thought he didn't touch it...I think it was just already going in and therefore an illegal inbounds pass.

Good ending...makes you feel happy...but need to play much better in St. Louis...that was a play in team, on our home court, on senior night afterall

let's get this done BU
