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

[logen]

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

And how many times during the first 39:56 did that happen? The timer hit it a bit early, a bit late? PART OF THE GAME. That’s why it is absurd that the refs spend 5 minutes to put .3 seconds back on the clock at the end of halves and games when there is no way the time is EVER dead nuts accurate.
At the end of the day, just another mind numbing “what a great win this would have been” loss that should not have been. And hopefully I am way wrong but it has that “man, we are going to regret this one at the end of the season” feel to it.

Who would you blame? Brady Dunlap? I see you still don't know hoop.

I see you still have a ridiculous agenda. You want to blame Pitino, go for it. He didn’t miss the free throws at the end.

So, you've never witnessed a good team lose big at some point of the season and still have a solid year? Stop posting for a couple days.

Ok. See ya next month when conference play starts, OK?

I keep coming back to the fact we blew a 14 pt lead at halftime.

We got outplayed and outcoached.

In real life, we lost the game when Omier chose Baylor over us. Baylor is going to the final four thanks to him. They were more hungry...and it showed. He was the hungriest.

Assuming we win the next two, this double overtime loss may move us up in the rankings.

We lost similar games to Stanford and Purdue in November of 1998. We know how that year turned out.

I do worry about tomorrow, though. Tough to come back immediately, after a loss like that.

Nah, this one was way more egregious than a usual clock error and simply cannot happen. Ball was getting tapped around and the clock doesn’t start until Baylor gets full possession and Omier takes one full dribble forward. It’s ridiculous.

It’s a terrible loss regardless that we inflicted by shooting ourselves in the foot countless times… but that’s still a ridiculous error on the clock. And it’s not just salty St. John’s fans who feel that way. A lot of people talking about it

When Newsie picking up my spirits I must be in a really dark place

Embarrassing stat of the night, yet he still had Zuby receive the inbounds pass.

I think Zuby got the pass because Luis jumped out of the way. I'll have to give it another look if my stomach can take it.

I'll have to stay off the post-game gummies.

Smith actually turned around on the inbound.

He either misread the pass, or it had too much on it, but it looked like the play was designed for Smith to get it.

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

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.

Gene, every year is the same ole s*. Now with Pitino also? Stay tuned.

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

He's always been a shitty loser.

I'd rather a shitty loser then a happy loser like Oscar DeLaHoya

It may have been egregious, I can’t disagree because I didn’t and won’t look at it because it just doesn’t matter to me; maybe there were other egregious times during the game it happened that affected the game, no one knows. I just refuse to look at one isolated action at the end of a game, an action that occurs hundreds of times during the game and cite that as a reason for the outcome. Just my view, I realize most disagree.

That was Smith

Not just outplayed but Pitino didn’t call a time out till they got with in 3-5 points???? Why not stem the tide???? Also again our D against their 3 point shooting was awful.

Like I said you can chalk the loss up to countless things we did wrong. But when a team has 4.1 seconds to get a shot off. And they get gifted extra time because the rules weren’t followed by the clock operator, it is extremely frustrating and no one will be able to convince me otherwise

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

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

And that is not reviewable?
Then nothing should be reviewable.

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

Tonight was an excruciating loss but won't be a bad loss in the long run. Tomorrow night becomes a must win though for lots of reasons.

My heart is out of it, I can't watch that game.
Tonight took the life out of me.
