Around the Big East 25-26

That seems like an extremely slippery slope for the game in general. So if a refs miss an obvious out of bounds call in the final minute of a big game, there’s nothing you can do if you’re out of your challenge? That’s terrible.

Yes, this is why Pitino didn't challenge the ball off the Iowa St foot last night. Personally, I think you should keep your challenge as long as you are right. Why penalize a team because the refs suck.

My thing is, much like football, if a game is close in the last two minutes. The refs should take a look at stuff like out of bounds calls that are close. The one tonight with 12 seconds left was as close as it gets, ONE simple look at a replay though showed it was clearly off usc.

I haven’t been this angry about a game that didn’t involve my team for awhile. 3-4 calls go against seton hall in the final minute, all extremely questionable. And the FT disparity is a whole other conversation

I understand there’s been complaints about refs taking too long to review things and it ruining the flow late in games, but there’s gotta be a middle ground where maybe they make the reviews quicker instead of getting rid of the refs ability to go take a look at things altogether.

Tough loss.

Don’t look at Acaden Lewis’ stat line tonight if you don’t wanna be sad, admittedly against Old Dominion. But still. He’s the one that got away for me personally this year. Not that it would’ve mattered cause Rick doesn’t care about freshmen

Damn this hall team is really fun

They are better than last year, it seems, but recall even last year they beat VCU in one of these tourneys, which is wild given how bad they were. I was happy they beat Shady Will Wade, but I think that game may say more about NC State at this point.

If this were a SJU game the internet might get burnt down

It made an excellent game really annoying to watch. I think the Hall got the short end of the stick a lot, but I'm from New Jersey and have a soft spot for the boys from South Orange.

When I saw them at Walsh this year, I thought they had two big east players. Clark and Hines, I was wrong, they will surprise this year. Although when you are picked to finished last the only way you can go is up. I think their ceiling is 7th and their floor is 9th in the big east.

[RedStormRising]

G’town fought the whole night versus Dayton and now have their largest lead of the game of 3 with 3:45 left in over time. A lot of Big East fans in our family staying late after dinner to see the end of this one.
