(Baha Mar Hoops) #13 Baylor, Thu., Nov. 21, 7p, CBSSN

[logen]

so did Drew have a horrible one too?

Don’t know, don’t care, I follow St. John’s. And my opinion of Pitino is built over the year+ he has been here, not just this game. Sitting Smith for the extended time while Baylor erased the lead made no sense, having Eijofor in the game at the end made no sense, having a normal player free throw alignment on the last free throw which pretty much allowed Roach a free ride up the court for a GREAT look under those circumstances made even less sense than the no sense those first two made.
You guys can dislike my candor all you want, just use the ignore button, I do. OR, better yet, refute my posts with some thoughts of your own as to why you disagree with me. But I am reacting to what I see NOW, not clouded or muddied by what Pitino accomplished in the past.

He’s not wrong refs were terrible but our foul shooting cost us that game

Uhh is this not reviewable? I thought they bust out the stopwatches in these situations?

I’m not worried about a seed line Mug, I’m worried about making the tournament. We lose tomorrow and we’re in a bad spot.

BIG EAST will get 5. We'll be one of them. Just got a lot of things to clean up before then.

Get over it. We deserved to lose for a million reasons.

I’m watching the replay of the final seconds and I swear to god the clock didn’t start until like a full second after Luis touched the ball

Don’t know if it was a second but it did start late

 

[redmen89]

I blame this all on their f'ing Prime Minister who was on the broadcast way too long

impeach churchill!

 

[Silly Donovan]

Neither did you coach.

 

[SJU2000alum15]

It’s pretty bad clock doesn’t start till after Baylor gets ball and starts dribbling I think it was a full second delay

It's always going to start a little late, though.

There's always going to be a little time in between the guy touching it, and the human finger on the timer actually starting the clock. You see it get touched, then the human brain says start the clock. It's going to take a few tenths of a second, all the time.

So did Baylor. They choked several times too. Missed free throws galore just like us.

Regardless of who “deserved” to lose, by rule the clock starts when the ball is touched. If that rule is followed by the clock operator it becomes a much more difficult shot attempt for Baylor. It is ridiculous that they botched that. This is a high level Divison 1 basketball game. Like give me a break

It definitely started late. No doubt about it.

 

[SJU2000alum15]

Again though make your damn foul shots and it wouldn’t have mattered missed 12 foul shots in a 1 point loss.

you evil bastard

 

[Redmen88]

Any time you lose 99-98 on a miracle 3 you can point to 100 reasons why they lost. The clock. The FTs, etc. let’s hope it’s a great learning experience and appreciate the effort. I don’t think it will impact us come March.

It definitely started late. No doubt about it.

Yep. You can slow twitter videos down to 0.25x speed and see it that way. There's no milliseconds on Twitter videos but Luis touched the ball at the 0:02 mark and the clock started at 0:04 so the clock started somewhere between 1 and 2 seconds too late
