How the heck is that allowed to be reviewed with points taken off of the board after the fact when the call impacted the play from there as we would have had the ball off of the block? I understand reviewing a 2 vs. 3 after the fact, but not a goaltending. Need to figure something out defensively. Serious question . How can that be reviewed even though it was the correct call. ? Why can’t you go back and review an obvious travel call ? TheChosenOne likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point a blue blood is going to get hosed like the Bills did tonight and all hell will beak lose. That call did not cost the Bills the game but it is just crazy that that is allowed to happen.

Lord Elrond Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 19 point loss, I guess it could have been worse, but I’d rather not find out how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay Area Billiken Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 If the goaltending reversal is allowed, since SLU had possession, at minimum SLU should have been given possession post-reversal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Not only did they take the 2 points away but the blocked shot went to us for rebound. The ref calling goal tending stopped the play so we don't have the ball. So they review it and overturn the call. So when that happens why don't we go back to have possession of the ball - I understand you can't do that so then they should not overturn the call.

Ford needs to tell SVB two things; chill, and never shoot the ball. I’m ok if SVB comes in for 2 min, knocks bodies around and grabs the rebound. But on offense IF he for the sake of god touches it. He needs to get rid of it right away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David King Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 The season is not over. From what I saw of Parker, that guy is potential first team A-10. Really need to get Mugassa and/or Ezeriwo. But in 6 weeks, this team could, theoretically, be ready to roll. Likely won’t roll to the Big Dance, but could, at least, be competitive in the A-10.

Right. It should have to be reviewed in the moment if you are going to allow the play to be reviewed. So the officials would have immediately gone to the monitor, overturned the call, and since SLU gained possession after the block it should have been SLU ball out of bounds with however many seconds on the shot clock. You shouldn’t be able to review something like that after the fact since the play was impacted by the call. Really strange to see that. I have no interest in discussing the game, I’m too beat up after watching Mizzou and then SLU. Good thing I’m currently staying on the beach as long as I don’t decide to drown myself in the ocean tomorrow.

Agree Play Bruce as much as possible. He has serious upside. Thames is improving rapidly. Not sure if Meadows or Medley is the answer at point. It might be LHJ.

Good grief kool aid overdose here. Parker is good. Stone cold scorer. Not enough to overcome this lack of size, not enough to fix the defensive problems. Ezewiro and mugassa will help but they are not all-american talent and they aren't the physical center we need. We will beat Dartmouth. Can't say much more than that.

billiken_roy Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Just so all know for perspective, hughes was sick. Couldn't even leave locker room at half. Thames was battling cramps most of game. Mike Meadows is playing with some muscle strains in his back. Every time he comes out of the game he puts on a brace with heat and massage. And our best player was still sitting out with foot in a boot and using crutches. And somehow we lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderdan Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 The team rebounding is atrocious. I saw several times where the opposing team just reached over our backs and took the rebound away. Ezewiro would make a big difference here, but will he ever become eligible? Kellen looks better and better every game. He’s already an elite defender. Just want him to be a little more selfish on offense. With Sincere out (and Gibson often turning invisible), we need scorers. i like what we’ve seen from Bruce so far. I know he’s a good outside shooter. Is there a way we can run some plays to get him some outside looks? This would, potentially, pull an opposing big man away from the basket and open up some offensive rebounding opportunities. TJ is the heart and soul of this team. His second half drove that point home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no true center everyone is playing out of position Hargrove playing center, he'd be much better guarding power forward and playing away from basketball. Dalger and Thames playing power forward, Thames for sure would be better at SF. Jimerson guarding small forwards be nice if he was guarding the shooting guard The only chance imo we had of being successful with this lineup was play a lot of bodies and play hard and fast on both ends. That already is subsiding so imo we are headed for a mediocre at best season. 20 wins seems like a stretch. Soderball likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
