MTSU Game Thread...

[OttoinGrotto]

My point is that we can't worry about something we can't control. We need to take care of what we can control. That's all.

Eh, that's true for the players. For us fans though? We're rightly mystified and kinda pissed about the inconsistent officiating.

As bad as the refs are..Lydon left 6 points on the board with missed layup and 4 missed fts. MTSU reminds me of all the mid majors we've run into that hand check, get all the calls and then someone goes nutty from 3.

The refs are keeping them in it...until somebody gets hot.

20 minutes left and we are spotted four points. The team can win this

Boheim needs to call some curl screens for coney at the top of the key...we need to captitalize when he is hot from deep

Exactly what im worried about.

If I'm MTSU I'm feeling great at halftime. They were totally outplayed for 17 minutes and are down just 4. Anybody's game. And they are figuring out the zone getting easy baskets inside the last 5 minutes.

Howard and roberson's charges were both not even close.

Not sure about the Howard one because they never showed the replay, but Roberson's is a perfect example of why so many people call for removal of that as a call at all. Make a kid play actual defense instead of acting like he was shot.

makes those free throws and Mali gets going = mtsu blown the out. the refs need to chill too

 

[Orangemen]

He just needs something to fall and he'll be fine. He has a big mismatch on offense. Just too tight right now.

This is the first time all year I remember Lydon being the focal point of the offense for an extended period of time. Maybe not the best stage to put Lydon on the spot. Hopefully he can relax at the half.

Man, the broadcast group is 100% pro MTSU. You would think they were destroying us.

Foot was in the circle. That's an and 1.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

We are not a good rebounding team without Roberson in there, especially on the offensive boards. Too many guys on the outside.

 

[EastCoast2]

The first charge on Roberson was awful. Clear as day that was a flop.

 

[AZOrange]

Oklahoma blew a 13 point second half lead...it happens

Personally, I think it should be an automatic blocking foul if a defensive player isn't upright on their feet and they impede the offensive player at all.

We are a 2nd half team. We win by double digits!

LGO CUSE!!!

 

[Madbiker]

Lydon looks nervous. Really choked on those FTs.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Its not just the BS flops we are getting called for, its the freaking assaults we are taking on every drive to the basket and getting nada.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

I thought so too, but I didn't get to see the foot. Really tough because the first thing Frank did after that call was look over at the bench to see if he was coming out.

While I don't disagree with this, it should be at least an 8 point lead regardless of refs.

Really? I don't think they've figured out the zone at all honestly.

We were up 30-28 at the half against Dayton -- hopefully we come out clicking on all cylinders like we did Thursday

 

[CuseFaninVT]

I thought Lydon got hammered on the dunk try and no call.

 

[CorduroyG]

Its truly unbelievable how often we get 'ed on charge calls. Especially in the tourny.

 

[Orangemen]

VCU is getting killed by the refs right now. If we were getting the calls as bad as they are right now. Someone would have burned this place to the ground.

OU getting the home court edge big time.
