I am dying to watch an outstanding defensive team, please.
Giving up 80 and 90 points was just horrible.
We know we will get that with Pitino.

Kalkbrenner had some opportunities in the second half and came up soft and had that "bewildered" look. Reminded me of Charles Smith in game 5 of the 93 playoffs against the Bulls. Go up strong!!!
He did comeback and made those two baskets near the end but overall he should have done better.
And could they grab a defensive rebound and maybe occasionally actually win the battle for a loose ball?
Different situation as Robinson wasn't shooting but 100% agree that was a bad call.

I think it all depends what team you want to win. When Scoonie Penn bumped Erick Barkley, I'm sure 100% of this board, if there was a board back then, believed it was an egregious non-call. Seems like one criteria a few commentators used was that if the offensive player beats the defender and has the advantage, then a foul is more likely to be called than on a reckless drive. Nembhard got beat, so he gets called for the push with his hand. I would just like to see the refs be consistent. If they let a lot of stuff go all game, then the refs could have let them go to overtime. The refs that were interviewed said, by the rules, it was a foul. Then again, a basketball foul is like a holding call in football. The refs choose to let plenty of them go.
Kollbrenner hits a few open bunnies, and Creighton wins. He's had better games, though that Flagrant 1 on him was B.S.

I’m not sure a player on any team I root for has ever committed a foul to be quite honest. Yet if an opponent so much as hangs on the rim even for a second, T’em up!

My cousin was on Fisher’s first team there that won 5 games. Helped the team make the tournament 2 yrs later. They’ve built program on defense. They’re the west coast equivalent of West Virginia. They win ugly and tournament broke right for them.
Also it went on him after the shot as Nembhard moved into him. Ridiculous call IMO
What I remember most is that Robinson was a 68% FT or something but was perfect at the line
Nembhard tried an old trick that Danny Lynch taught his players at St. Francis College. When some one drive for a basket, the defender should shove him where the refs are not looking, below the waist as the refs will be looking up at the ball. The idea was to throw the shooter off and that is where the foul by Nembhard was.

Must have been a pro wrestling fan. Distract the referee, and pull out the foreign object or grab hold of the wrestling trunks for leverage when getting the pin.
Some of our fans would still say no foul if Nembhard pulled out a can opener and gave the shooter the business drawing blood.
Depends on the bandaid.Some of our fans would still say no foul if Nembhard pulled out a can opener and gave the shooter the business drawing blood.
How deep a cut?!?
In this day they let a lot of Rim hanging go in this current age . The Nembhard foul should have been a “ Raftery Play On ,” There was a lot of holding , grabbing going all all game that never got called . Why start on the last play with 6.7 seconds left ? The Ref should have swallowed his whistle and let the game go to O T ! He doesn’t deserve Championship games assignments . He decided the Win for SD State , not the players .
Louis Orr committed a charge on Reggie Carter back in 1978 I think and they never called it . Let it go and Orr’s lay up won the Game . The Sconnie Penn foul on Barkley was a obvious missed call , it wasn’t a incidental bump but , enough to throw the drive to the hoop off.
I can win a few jumbred dollars in
What a rooting dilemma for me. Good guy NY'er Larranaga v. Hurley. Big East UConn against ACC. And if UConn loses, I win several hundred dollars in a pool!
Sounds like serious soul-searching is at hand for you, lol.
Funny mm52, but I would have been in the same situation if Texas had won Saturday - beating UCONN would have guaranteed me about a $700 win in a pool that I am not firmly out of. At least you still have the pool victory as a possibility. Good excuse to root against UCONN imho.
Hard to root for Uconn, but I always root Big East and frankly the other three teams stir up no emotion (who cares about FAU, SDS and MIA are the hoodlums of CFB or were, at least), so with a clothes pin planted firmly on my nose, I am rooting for Uconn and the Big East to win their third Naty in the last 10 years.
