Gardner had 0 fouls

[jdubs30]

But took 13 FT's...yeah..

 

[Marsh01]

Yet noone thought it made a difference tonight.

Sure,

 

[JLine]

He played like a man not a JV team like our guys.

Sure,

hey I agreed with you

 

[iommi]

If DC were 1/2 the player Gardener is right now we'd be a lot better.

 

[Ghost]

I'll never understand the whole, I'm hurling myself into the defender but because I'm FAT it's a foul on you thing.

He played like a middle aged man who has to push off and go over the top for positioning.

If this game was played in the 1990s Marquette would've been down to 3 walk ons on the court.

Destroying. The. Game. At every level.

I'm glad someone is smart enough to see it.

This game is a joke. Sat was a joke. Gimme Roy Williams and not some 3 stooges extra and let's run up and down the court.

Nothing like knocking a guy into next week in the paint for a no call but blowing the whistle on a guy who barley touches a three point shooters hand after the ball has left his hand.

 

[Ghost]

But he's fat.

Did everyone miss that, but me? It's not PC to call fouls on a fat kid.

Simpletons.

Must've been cold in that gym. It is Wisconin in February.

If this is how the game is gonna be gimme the NBA anyday.

 

[85SUAlum]

More than once tonight our defenders were standing with hands up straight and got called for foul when the shooter bodied into them.
Gotta be tough on the players when they play textbook D like they are coached to and still get called for a foul.

 

[Orangello]

He could start for any Pitt team. Laughable.

Couldn't agree more. ,

Yeah, and one time we had four defenders surrounding him and he got rewarded for trying to take a shot he never should have attempted. Guess if you weigh 290, you don't have to foul anybody -- just stand there and let opposing players bounce of of you. P.S.: We can now answer that earlier question: What one player does the Orange need to be competitive -- Davante Gardner!!-VBOF

 

[NineOneSeven]

Agreed.

He also has probably 40 pounds on Baye and James, who stood no chance of boxing out that wooley mammoth.

You know when I watch ACC teams play it looks like the offensive side of the court has soooo much space. It's like they are playing on a bigger court with all this extra space.

And I don't know what just frustrated me more: watching the Orange tick away control of the game TWICE or watching a few minutes of the following KU/ISU game where NOBODY seemed to be playing defense. If Southerland had the space those two teams were giving each other, he'd hit six for six! I'm tired of watching SU players getting mugged every night...bring on the ACC!-VBOF

 

[orangecuse]

Agreed.

I think you forgot the number 1 in front of the 40.

 

[themole]

The foul differential was absurd tonight. Say what you will about Triche and friends but if it was anywhere near parity we win with ease. Seven foul shots vs. Thirty-five? What??

 

[JLine]

The denial stage is at least setting in, soon we can get to acceptance that we lose because we play poorly and not well enough to win.

Shafer would have given those refs an earful.

 

[Opus]

Sorry but if you blame the refs for a loss, I mean REALLY blame the refs for a loss...you do what you gotta do tiger.

Close games are won and lost for more than one reason. A -28 discrepancy, (-26 in the second half), in free throws attempted in a 3 point loss seems somehow relevant.
