#23 (Key)

[S_Janowski]

I’ve never seen someone set so many illegal/dirty screens and get away with it all game. Other than maybe Garza, but I don’t think his were always dirty (just illegal).

Every single time #23 set a screen and our defender tried to get around him he would subtly through his arm, elbow, should, hip into the defender.

On top of it, almost everytime he got the ball down low he was throwing shoulders and elbows around, initiating contact towards the defender.

Pikiell and the staff need to keep an eye on this if we match up with them again in the BIG tournament and get on the refs.

The elbows were blatant. It was almost an exaggerated motion as if he wanted you to see he was elbowing at times.

It wasn't subtle at all - I have no idea what the refs were doing.

It was really odd how often and obvious he was throwing elbows in the post. It's almost like he forgot all his post moves. Every time he got the ball just relentless with it.

Did he get called for it even once?

I turned the game on a few mins in and first thing I saw was harper go around a screen and get shoved in the back by him, it was so blatant and clear. Then the elbows and cheap screens went all night. Then I watched the ball go out off OSU with Mag 5 feet away and it was called out on him..I figured it was about to be one of them nights

Literally should be used as a text book example of an elbow when training refs

Good point I don’t know why I used the word subtle.

I’m actually surprised the crowd wasn’t trying to call it out more - it was absurd how it wasn’t called 1 time.

I don’t recall him getting called for a single one. I thought he finally did late in the game but then looked at the ref and realized he was signaling a 3 second violation.

It was ridiculous, did it all game.

Pike was getting on the refs about the illegal screens.
