One game at a time . The D has been solid. Browns been super clutch. There's plenty of time to right the ship. Gotta get this W tho. dug ourselves quite the hole.

[Dub]

Ok, so espn3 will be blocked in our area? If that’s the case I need to make other arrangements.

[tornado]

why do we keep making terrible passes?

[tornado]

Kennell did stick the leg out - it is a flagrant
..and we have to make the open layups - how do we miss so many?

already on pace for 30 turnovers again...we do not look like the team that played Wednesday

[tornado]

we will not get 20 this half

[tornado]

might not get 10

[BUfan17]

Wow, what a turnaround from the ISU game. We can't control the ball or rebound. This will be hard to dig out of in the second half.

[RICHSPRINGFIELD]

How can a team look so good in one game and so bad in the next game they play? The women's team is up 35 to 27 at Illinois State at half time. They are a lot of fun to watch!

Coach Wardle in his 20 second postgame show:
"We didn't compete, we didn't execute".
"We didn't compete, we didn't execute".

The only thing consistent about this team is inconsistency.

[bigjimmy]

Today's game was about effort and execution and we had none in the first half and not enough of it in the 2nd half. After the last 2 games you would have thought that the guys had gotten the message but they seemed to have forgotten it on the bus ride to Springfield. DB just looked disinterested and, unless he was under the weather, has to be engaged or it just drags everybody else down. Didn't help that Eli got 2 quick fouls and sat the bench most of the 1st half and any movement on offense stopped happening. We went 11 1/2 minutes without a FG. JUST. CAN'T. HAPPEN. Who does this team want to be? The time to figure that out is running out. .

Kennell did stick the leg out - it is a flagrant...

I disagree. Where is that part of the definition of a Flagrant Foul?
What Kennell does not fit the actual NCAA definition of a Flagrant 1 foul. Here is the definition:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagrant_foul#NCAA

The Flagrant 1 Foul, which is what was called (Flagrant 2 includes ejection, which was obviously not the case), is defined as:

• A flagrant 1 foul (men's) or unsportsmanlike foul (women's) involves excessive or severe contact during a live ball, including especially when a player "swings an elbow and makes illegal, non-excessive contact with an opponent above the shoulders". This offense includes the former "intentional foul" of fouling an opposing player to prevent an easy breakaway score. In women's basketball only, the unsportsmanlike foul also includes contact dead-ball technical fouls. The penalty for a flagrant 1 or unsportsmanlike foul is two free throws and a throw-in for the opposing team at the out-of-bounds spot nearest the foul.

There is no way what Kennell fits that definition, IMO. It was not "excessive or severe contact" intended to injure. It was not an elbow foul. It was not directed above the shoulders, and it was not an "intentional foul to prevent a breakaway". It shouldn't have been reviewed, and should have been a simple foul at most, not a Flagrant. It is no different than the hip or leg move made by players setting a screen that gets called a simple foul all the time.

21 mins and 4 shots for Brown? Are those accurate? If yes. Whats the deal there? I was watching and working. Gonna try and catch a replay. Minds blown. We wanna play our best at the end of the year ? damn. #arrivealready . its now about avoiding thursday .getting swept by the bears doest help. I think ,right now, if we lose and i dont feel good goin in ,to the aces , thats where we will be. Underachieving would be a understatement.Bounce back and beat the Aces. Dag nab it. I thought we were going to take off.

[tornado]

excessive or severe contact = tripping, pushing, shoving, clobbering, etc..
everyone else agrees and so did the refs
