Like the guy but need more. Wipe out. The Huntsman Center party was over as soon as we got on the airplane. I was pretty close on my margin of victory. I’ll tell you right now, I’m not going to be able to buy into Smith’s philosophy with such terrible defense. It’s been awful all year. ISU shot 57 fucking % from the field. lol. Our free throw % as a team has also been terrible. That’s just bad coaching and lazy players. Our team can shoot jumpers. Great game for Deivon. Career high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I cannot believe they called that on Edwards. Two biggest stars in the game and it’s decided on a screen where Edwards kinda sorta leaned in. Coulda been a classic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhhh that was pretty obvious, and UConn had gotten away with a ton of crap prior to that. You can't throw your body in front of a defender and deliver a forearm shiver. It will be terrible optics and narrative, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah….not a hard call to make, just unaccustomed to seeing refs NOT swallow their whistles in the last seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fundamental problem with sports in general when we have to argue why the right call shouldn't be made because it's a certain time of year or game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Illegal screens are like holding or pass interference on a hail mary. You look close enough you can probably find it, especially on replay, but it goes uncalled/missed so often it usually takes a blatant or jarring example to get the call. The sell is what got the call, not the lean or positioning of Edward’s shoulders. I agree it probably meets the technical definition of a foul, but I don’t think that call is made consistently enough in *any* game to blow a whistle in that situation. I actually loathe the call on principle. So many illegal/moving screens aren’t the post player’s fault, and I hate assessing a foul on a big man 20+ feet from the basket. Call it a turnover and move on. I know that wouldn’t have made a difference last night, UConn still would have lost possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastFan Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 It's just a shame when the thrilll and beauty of the 'last second shot', whether it landed or not, was lost to us, a moment never to be seen. Yeah, it looked like an illegal screen, but it robbed us of a moment to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chile_Ute Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 But the game in toto was one of the best back and forth games….I can’t say I’ve ever said that about a woman’s game (and truly don’t mean that to sound as bad as it does). I had no dog in the fight and I enjoyed watching the whole F-ing thing. Iowa/SC is going to be a burner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chile_Ute Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Purdue/UConn I like both teams/players (can’t stand either of the Hurley brothers…but give credit to Dan Hurley, he can put it together). Grew up a bit in Indiana so I pull more for Purdue tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There're a beauty to watch. The way UConn cuts to the basket, pulling Edey away from the action to the other side. The way they defend against treys, even attempts at them. The way every time Hurley calls a timeout, they come back on the floor and immediately run a set play that nails a basket. The way they can make this all happen with different Huskie players on the floor. This is a rare thing to watch. Pretty close to perfection.

They employed the Bill Belichick defense against Thurman Thomas in Super Bowl whatever. "If he rushes for 100 yards we win". They didn't want to lose to Jim Kelly and those receivers. UCONN did the same thing to Purdue. If Edey scores 30 we win. The length and athletic difference on the wings was crazy, and Matt Painter was like a deer in headlights. Hurley ran circles around him. Purdue made ONE 3. That's insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
