Refs making a great game about them

GT crushes Creighton

 

[paultzman]

In such a competitive battle & refs infuse themselves in outcome, frustrating

STJ/UConn will be a really great game. I'm afraid their three point shooting may be a separator but should be a real battle.

Agree, I think we can defend better though.

Yeah we have better defense and much bigger 2 through 5.

Is Mahaney a healthy scratch?

 

[paultzman]

UConn’s Karaban and McNeely are an excellent forward tandem, so heady

 

[Jack Williams]

UConn really went up a level defensively in this OT

 

[paultzman]

Thought UConn’s PG play was a question mark, but tonight Diarra had 11 assists.

 

[dk423]

Both teams went 18-21 and 20-21 from FT. That's another thing we really gotta work on.

X taking them to O/T in Hartford without Freemantle was telling.

Fun battle, Xavier even short handed hangs tough, Miller’s teams always gritty

Main problem for the league is that Hurley now knows that Reed is much more valuable than Johnson. I preferred when he played Johnson. Oh well.

Agree, I couldn’t understand why Reed wasn’t starting.

 

[lycidas]

Going to be very hard for teams to win on the road in the BE this year. When the fans get screaming, refs just won’t allow it.
(and you also have these 7 minute long reviews of plays that break any momentum, give coaches extra timeouts, and allow players to rest. They have got to make reviews quicker.)

Reed v Xavier tonight

- 20 PTS
- 7/11 FGs
- 13 REB
- 4 BLK
- 2 STL

I imagine most conference games not including Seton Hall will be down to the wire. Parity rules.

Butler over M’Q 35-32 at half
