BU V TCU Game Thread

[MTfrog5]

Your last sentence is totally untrue. I wanted to guard 24 really badly. Of course, within 30 seconds I would've been tossed from the game and never allowed on a college basketball court again.

To your point though, someone needed to put him on his ass. Game has changed and took away the hard fouls that had an impact.

Yea, I don't even know what you're allowed to do any more after seeing one of our players earlier this year get called for a flagrant for putting his arm on someone's waste while trying to get a rebound.

He didn’t even play the last five minutes of the game, which was a mystery to me. He was good. And hateable.

I thought that was odd too, but they scored on about 95% of their possessions in those last few minutes so the lineup they had out there was working for them.

95% of their possessions? Did they have 20 possessions in those last few minutes? Scored on 19 of the 20? That's 95%.

Exactly. I was being completely serious and giving an exact recap of the end of the game. 19 of 20 possessions is totally what happened.

We played a huge role in letting them come back, particularly missed FTs and a couple legit bad fouls. But for the love of God man, it sure seemed like in the last ten minutes, the refs were playing right into the BU "let's make this a game" screenplay. When all you do is keep your chest in front of a driving guard, with hands straight up, getting forearm-and-shoulder-shoved backwards and somehow the call is on YOU... that's poor officiating that allows NO reasonable way to guard a driving player one-on-one.

My favorite was the charge called on Bane when he was standing flat footed and statuesque outside the arc and the Baylor kid nearly jumped over him. I jumped up at the whistle to celebrate the obvious charge and the ref did his little twerk move to signify a black call and I nearly threw my toddler. That was one of several that, even after watching the DVR again at home, I can't figure out what in the world the ref saw.

I think your point is well taken that our defense changed quite a bit to accommodate some of those previous decisions, but it shouldn't have and that's our fault. We had a lot of lazy and careless fouls mixed in there too and that's totally on us.

The officiating was a total disaster. The fouls on Bane were pretty unreal

Yeah, the NCAA frowns on throat punches.

So racist

But on the plus side, you can always pop in your favorite Huey Lewis cassette.

Unfortunately no tape player on this one. But if there were, Ive got a Guns n Roses tape that might get some work.

I was going to like this until I realized you only ALMOST threw your toddler. Real fans throw whatever they are holding no matter what when they're upset.

Those were absolutely chicken-scheiße calls

There was a charging call late on a TCU player where the replay showed the BU guy literally in the air...

Yeah I mean that was a completely ridiculous call. He had position and was as still as could be.

Also do we need to talk about the national anthem?
