High percentage shot by Perkins as Carter backs away. Sums it up perfectly.

Late rotation. If Carter jumps he's on a poster plus the foul.

The play that had me scratching my head was at the end of the first half. Buffalo has the ball with three seconds left and the length of the court. They weren't in the bonus, so there's no risk in guarding the up man in the back court. Hell, put Torey James in there and foul him with a second left. Instead they got a jumper in the lane which was thankfully blocked.

I’m pretty sure Carter had 3 fouls at that point in the game. He had no chance at stopping Perkins and imho smartly avoided picking up his 4th foul and taking himself out the game. Don’t really get the Saul slam on this one.

Grasping at straw with this one. Plenty of things to be unhappy about this year, but this ain't it.

I believe you are correct. He had at least 2 at that point. So as you say "smart move" on Carter's account.

Other players failed to defend the entry, and then stood still and watched as the play concluded.

That block happened because Saul wisely substituted and brought Taylor in for those last few seconds.

And, by the way, Taylor played maybe the best game of his career on Tuesday. He's become much more offensively minded in these last five games, and he's even hitting a much higher percentage of his free throws. He looks like a man on a mission!

Time to get some boxes and MOVE!

He's killed it and been paid to not kill it. Stop defending him as a coach.

He's a great person!

Held the Beefs/#19 in the country to 2nd lowest point total of the year - While they shot the lights out from beyond the arc...

Carter had literally just come back in game after sitting for 4 minutes because he picked up his 2nd and third fouls within one minute. Contesting that shot would have been number four. Smart move plus for those who have played the game, how many times have you come off the bench only to take a second to get back into the flow?

Carter didn't want to see his face on a poster. That's a smart play IMO not picking up a foul... Sometimes when you play basketball you have to make a decision. Do I want this very large man to dunk on me, or do I want to move out of the way? Ask Brandon Knight what you should do.

Give the guy a break. Perhaps buck cat needs to vent. What with his big boy, Kaleb Wesson, suspended for the last two games and maybe more.

Sometimes good teams, especially those in the top 20, make good plays. I'm trying but failing to come up with the last shutout in division 1 college basketball.

Inquiring minds want to know the answer to that one? I'm guessing 1893! ;-)

Hey, haven't seen you too much lately since you got all those threads deleted a few months ago. What was the drink of choice that evening?
