JR/Radford

Call that foul with 1 .5. JR not going to win many scoring 40. 4 straight turnovers with under 4 to go. Fought back down 5
I believe Radford won the glass, the turn overs, and definitely the coaching and the fouls. They maintained their composure in tough situations when JR didn’t and deserved to win but officiating in general has gotten hard to watch sometimes. Inconsistent on so many things. I hope the Radford player gets to return to the court and for a rematch which I think is possible. Numbers don’t lie though, I got a problem when they don’t get called when they should.
Numbers can lie. How? Take Virginia Tech basketball this year. At one point in the season they were last in the ACC In free throw attempts. First reaction is… why are they not getting the foul calls? Reality is, they shoot a crap ton of 3’s’ and not putting themselves in situations to be fouled and go to the line. I am not saying that is what happened this game, but numbers do lie. And posting a number and speaking it as fact isn’t telling the whole story. The best part about a region championship is you get to play again. I’d be more concerned with the other things mentioned. Rebounding, turnovers, etc. scoring 40 in this type of game isn’t going to cut it moving forward. Time to represent region c and maybe there will be a rematch.
Not sure, looked like he maybe done something to a knee in warmups, wound up wrapped w “ice” before game started hopefully nothing more than a strain/sprain and he gets back to his team before next game.
Absolutely correct. Can’t change it, learn from it and get better. Still 2 games away just got to man up and fix a couple things. Goal still in site for everyone.
That's what James River did early. They attacked the paint. Early on they got foul calls. Radford as a whole don't get a lot of foul calls against them. Cormany teaches a defense that is discipline but not a lot of fouls. Quite a few people on this board (funny how they are quiet now) didn't give Radford a chance at full strength let alone minus a leading score. When James River got called for a 3 second violation that changed the way the attacked the paint. That was the difference of the game.
Steger definitely pushed Prioleau. a tough call to make at the end of the game. How does the smallest guy on the court get the rebound.
Toughy hit a great point about teaching defense the right way. Radford opponents often try to do what we do but it isn't taught the right way. We see it often. Cormany will spend whole practices just on defense.
I watched the game again and THE difference was coaching and specifically substitutions. Radford played 8 players(normally 9 with Clark). JR played 5 and barely a 6 and 7th. I had JR with 13 turnovers and most of the 7 in the second half were 4th qtr. Tired passes that were stolen with good defensive positions. Several of the late fouls by JR were tired fouls. With playing on back to back days, that's what got JR. I think there is a good chance of a rematch and I'm not sure the outcome will be the same with a rested JR team.

I can’t believe VHSL that dumb. Guess got enough money salted away to cover their salaries. Mask mandates lifted. Case counts down. Where is the justification for 500 limit. Someone needs to wake up.
Obviously u havnt seen some of the things VHSL does
Proud of my Cats. Almost like 2 wins as we got the W, but it forces JR to go to Union and we get the opening home game over a team we beat. Gigantic win for Radford.
No limits set as of yet that anyone is aware of in Richmond but it is the VHSL. Strange how the regular season and region tournament had no restrictions that I’m aware of but the state tournament may be different
