BU-ISU Postgame

OK, this is the 4th or 5th time a fan has reference a "dubious" clock malfunction or something similar.

Please be more specific what you mean. Yes, it was a clock malfunction, but I cannot agree that there was any kind of hanky-panky involved if that is what anyone is hinting at. I have seen clock malfunctions many times (there was a famous one at the end of a game at Wichita State a couple years involving Creighton). If someone wanted to manipulate a game, stopping the clock is not the way to do it, because it will always be noticed and corrected.
BTW- that incident could have just as easily hurt Bradley. What if they were going for the score with the original 4 seconds, then the refs stopped the game for a reset. Remember the 1972 Olympic game between the US and Russians?

Oh, I'm not saying the clock malfunction was intentional. Just that it was obviously a pro-Bradley malfunction.

I am still trying to figure out how the ball is advance to 3/4 court...since the clock didn't start? The play never happens since the clock doesn't start. You put 4 seconds on the clock, and play it over.

By the NCAA rules, a clock malfunction is a correctable error.
Refs are allowed to view the replay (if there is one available) and reset the game to rectify the error. How they do it is up to their judgement.

The thing of use gleaned from this game: maybe we did finally discover an endgame strategy in the overtime session: Let Warren go into God Mode and take over in the final minutes. It seems to work better than anything else we've tried.

I am wondering two things:

How does Warren go from the early 1st half to nearly the end of the 2nd half without a field goal?

Why do we even waste our time with an "offense" and just clear out and let Warren go one on one every single possession? Dont pass it just either shoot it, drive it or whatever but no others ever shooting the ball from beyond 2 ft?

This teams ability to miss open jump shots is well... sad.

somehow a guy that is a mediocre recruiter, a sub-mediocre coach, but a snappy dresser with a long-term guaranteed contract in place is gonna get a free pass on this mess...ugh.

I don't see anyone giving him a free pass on anything. I see different people showing different ways of expressing themselves in times of adversity.
