Also, this team is playing a style that will translate to wins in the Valley. Defense and turnovers. This team has a completely new identity.

This team should be favored in every non-Duke non-con game, and now the next step is taking care of business when you're supposed to.

[Grassman]

ok did anyone see the game. Did sammy really get fouled and was he beyond the three?

Just wondering...

yup! It was the usual Sammy runner, he left his feet behind the 3pt.line. The ony question was, did he release the ball beforre exceeding the 3 pt. line? 3333333333333333333333333333

If you have ever golfed with OOB...quite a few.

Two big statements there. And both correct. What has me getting good vibes is that things that need improvement - rebounding and FT's - can be fixed. Keep forcing turnovers and keep staying mentally strong, and you can overcome a lot!

yeah to realize that we were actually down 8-9 points alot of the second half and we came back....is just amazing

OK...if he left his feet it doesn't matter when he released it as long as he was still airborn.

Assuming you sawr it eh gman. Was he fouled?

Sam Maniscalco was the Man

Good game by Walt Lemon

Bigs played good

Getting the technical - not a good idea - still no word who got it - talking to Sam now - JL probably up next.

What's going to happen if we ever lead a game in rebounding we'll probably lose not knowing what to do with it

JL just said the T was on him, it doesn't sound like the T was justified.

.They never are. Them bad officials

[wily coyote]

I actually believe him....

first explanantion he was out of the box. He says he wasn't.....then ref said you were showing too much emotion. HUH.

JL said I signalled travelling which he said the guy did.

OK coaches almost never fess up but at 40 secs to go in the game its gotta be over-the top IMO.

Your right. If thats what happened not justified in my mind no matter how much time was left.

[wily coyote]

good win , I think we need to start working more on our offense, would like to see more mid-range shots , 2 points is better then none.
The technical was way off base, good officials let the players decide who is going to win, unless a player or coach curses or throws something out on the floor a ref needs to just ignore thigs towards the end of a closely fought game. My guess is Kissinger called the T because he is just not very good.

Amen to this whole paragraph

Doesn't matter where he releases the ball as long as he left the floor behind the line and it was out of his hands before a foot hit the floor. He can leave behind the line and let go of the ball at the free throw line if he could jump that faras long he still has not touched the floor.

[BradleyBrave]

-9 on the boards. Still terrible in that regard. 13 offensive rebounds. Again, not a problem just one man could solve unless his name was Dennis Rodman. The team as a whole needs to do a better job on the glass. It's simply effort and position. No excuses to get beaten this badly game-in, game-out. These nail-biters could be 10-15 point wins with better control on the glass.

My guess is that it's something personal that Kissinger has against JL. Why else would you make a call like that with a minute to go and the game still undecided. He was going to show JL who the boss was. For Snell to talk about an official before the game raises red flags. There's no question that JL has a bad reputation for being hard on the refs and he has certainly earned his share of T's over the years. This one, especially with the 2 different explanations, is very suspect. I don't know. Maybe I'm reading too much into this situation. I'm just saying.
