How can they count that basket at the end of first half when the game clock stopped?

It looks like they basically calculated what the clock would be had it kept running to see if he got the shot off, and how much time was left. The clock should not have stopped. I want to be mad but he pretty clearly hit the rim for a new shot clock, and pretty clearly got the 2nd shot off before the clock would have ran out.

Purdue Fort Wayne, that is.

The refs are awful, they are anticipating fouls. Let the young men play, sheesh

How about we call a timeout and make some adjustments? Let’s not let the lead go from 7 to 30.

We ended the game with three timouts and had zero clue on offense last ten minutes of the game. Why are we paying saul 500k. He never made adjustments when they threw the zone at us. Too many turnovers and missed free throws. This team has potential but its a question if they will figure it out on a consistent basis.

Does ice cold result from lack of ability to adjust? Maybe lack of ability to adjust lead to the team going ice cold?

Either way, this game was ripe for the picking. Saul did not get out coached, he just did not coach when it mattered. One thing for sure, he sure as hell showed up for the post game with Russ. The standard no accountability statements. At one point he sounded like former Vikings coach Denny Green, stating something like "We thought we were a good team before the game, and we think we are a good team now." Excuse me while I puke Saul.

I'd like to think what it is ought to be pretty clear by now if you watch most of the games. Whether we like it or not, or every game's result, is a different story.

I'm personally tired of the tolerance for some of TK's issues. Seems like he needs to practice with two guys guarding him all the time, forcing him to open his eyes and get rid of the ball under pressure. Sort of a 6 on 5 approach.

I liked what I saw from everyone else this evening for the most part. Carter is simply a beast, and should be dominant in MAC play. Dartis and/or Gollon are sorely needed in my mind for long term success.

Given what I've seen from the rest of the MAC, other than UB, I still think this team can compete for the top quarter of the conference.

Not a bad idea^^^^^^

[/QUOTE]my wife got tired of me screaming at the tv tonight about valuing a possession. i saw a lot of good tonight, but golly, we just don't value the ball. silly turnovers, poor shot selection early in a possession. how many trips down the floor at a critical time did we not even get a shot off? this one's on saul. the other coach made adjustments and it changed the game completely.

it wasn't only kirk. block made several poor decisions. someone posted that we had three timeouts left. i'm not a college coach, but at least call a timeout to have a discussion when they pushed it to 10.

we looked completely lost when they went zone. i know we don't shoot the three great, but when we were in rhythm we looked ok with the three. 65-60 and then the wheels fell off with no help from the sideline. i've been willing to give saul a pass because of injuries the past two years, but if he wants the team to figure things out on the floor without him, i'll stand on the sidelines for half what they're paying him.

We're playing without Dartis and Gollon. You fair weather fans are pathetic. Quit watching and following if it's so bad. It's a damn game .. not life and death.

Though I'm not a professional, I have them once in awhile. I get frustrated only because his ability to beat defenders off the bounce is fantastic. He can draw the double getting into the lane better than anyone since DJ. But his ability to sense the double seems baaaadddd.
