NCAA TOURNEY FIRST ROUND DISCUSSION THREAD DAY 2

[Greene Rice FIG]

D does not matter anymore, this is not about grinding out in the old Big East..the game has substantially changed in just the last 6-7 years

That is not true....if it was RU is 7-24 this year. if michigan doesn't make every 3 they today would have lost by double digits.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Eli will make these 2 FTs, guaranteed.

tourney games are different...RU played tight with everyone, you think that would happen in the NCAA tourney if they played those same teams. Team trade blows in these games..offensive blows, yes you want to play some defense but its about shooting and 3 point shooting

 

[PatrickRU92]

confession: Way back when Beilein was rumored to be RU's top candidate after Bannon was canned I was disappointed that we couldn't do better.

Which is why I'll never be an AD.

 

[bac2therac]

OSU certainly did everything right in the last minute, well prepared but just not enough

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

wow

that he stayed at Richmond rather than come coach here said alot...though I think his son was going to head to Richmond at the time..then he took him along to WVU

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Who is rooting for SHU? Arkansas?

 

[MadRU]

Great game. How great would the RAC be with that type of speed game (Michigan OSU)

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Beilein knew we weren't committed to basketball, so he had no interest in coming here. He knew any money the RU athletic dept. had at the time was headed to Schiano and the football program.

 

[RUtrumpet92_rivals498139]

I picked Arkansas in my bracket expecting SHU to win if I picked against them and lose if I picked them, because they have it in for me.

I suppose that means I should've picked them to win, thereby forcing them to lose or give me a correct pick.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Hannah's Dad is a real jerk! I like Webber as an announcer.

 

[linzalonic]

that seemingly meaningless buzzer-beating 40-foot bomb by the Oklahoma State guard covered the spread. Unfortunately not in my favor, haha.

 

[RUsince52]

Who is rooting for SHU? Arkansas?

Took SH in 2 pools and now it's touch and go. Not scoring from in close which hurts.

 

[PatrickRU92]

I know SHOE is pissed but that was a flagrant foul. He made NO EFFORT to go for the ball. he pushed the man down.

 

[TrueRU]

I disagree. Not a flagrant foul. The only reason he went down was due to the feet getting tangled.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Webber is wrong here. Right call

 

[PatrickRU92]

too bad!!

So sad!

 

[linzalonic]

Terrible call. How many late-game fouls when a team is losing are 'plays on the ball'. The incidental trip made the push look worse.

 

[bac2therac]

Seton Hall imploded...look beyond that foul...they turned it over the last two possessions, no one to blame but themselves..would not have won anyway

 

[RutgersPurple1997]

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[bac2therac]

I know SHOE is pissed but that was a flagrant foul. He made NO EFFORT to go for the ball. he pushed the man down.

I agree on this...it was a hard push, its not like he attempted to go for the ball and he got tripped too, incidental or not, if the SHU player fouled properly it wouldnt have happened. It didnt cost them the loss, they still would have been down 3 anyhow. Webber sounds like some SHU fan good lord

 

[scarletrat]

bye bye shoe

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

You don't push, you lightly slap. The push was a lazy play

 

[PatrickRU92]

I disagree. Not a flagrant foul. The only reason he went down was due to the feet getting tangled.

If he just grabbed the guys arm it wouldn't have been call flagrant. He pushed the Hogs player, pretty hard as a matter of fact. The fall might have been incidental but it was a clear push

 

[scarletrat]

delgado will go, no? carrington is done?

 

[scarletrat]

CBS must be happy...Arkansas-UNC is far more compelling than shoe-UNC...that's 2 BE teams out...

 

[RUtrumpet92_rivals498139]

Gee, that's a shame (re: SHU).

 

[RBS05]

He did literally the only thing he couldn't in that situation...a two-handed shove. Any other form of contact and he's fine.

 

[RUsince52]

Seton Hall imploded...look beyond that foul...they turned it over the last two possessions, no one to blame but themselves..would not have won anyway

Really lost composure even without the foul. Bad execution and couldn't make a shot. Of course, Ark had something to do with that too. Too bad considering they had a nice lead for a while.

 

[PatrickRU92]

BTW comparing the 7/10 UM/OSU game to this game, both UM and OSU would have eaten SHOE and Ark for lunch.

 

[bac2therac]

who is the fool on CBS crying about the foul...dont watch NBA so Ive never seen him..he seems like a tool, who is he and why is CBS showcasing him

 

[MGSA99]

Sweet. Get those Pirate fans out of my town!

 

[PatrickRU92]

the sports desk saying exactly what I said too (I'm really smart

It was the PUSH with no play on the ball

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Brings back bad memories of the blatant intentional foul that Keith Hughes committed against Arizona State in 1991. That was a killer. We blew that game too.

 

[RU_Planning]

If we are going to have refs act like robots we might as well have robotic refs. Terrible to decide a game in that fashion. That being said Seton Hall didn't do themselves any favors, can't turn the ball over in those 2 final possessions.

 

[hinson32]

I know SHOE is pissed but that was a flagrant foul. He made NO EFFORT to go for the ball. he pushed the man down.

I agree Patrick. He pushed him in the back with two hands. However, SHU lost because they scored one basket in the last 6+ minutes, Delgado got outplayed and the Razorbacks wore them down.

 

[hinson32]

delgado will go, no? carrington is done?

I think that all come back and they add Duvall.

 

[PatrickRU92]

I agree Patrick. He pushed him in the back with two hands. However, SHU lost because they scored one basket in the last 6+ minutes, Delgado got outplayed and the Razorbacks wore them down.

Taking 4 steps without dribbling in the last 2 mins on a key possession doesn't help either.

 

[TDIrish27]

I thought it was a flagrant foul----didn't want it to be but thought it was.

You can't win a tight game with bad foul shooting and 16 TO's .
