When Hughes fell,

[stuckinbig11]

play continued and FSU scored. The replay showed that ankle-twisting, stumbling Hughes traveled before giving up the ball. Play should have stopped.

Hughes needs to dump the KD shoe and go to something where he's not slipping every 2 minutes.

 

[tbonezone]

no. in fact the officials were wrong to stop play last game when chukwu went down. if the offense has the advantage play is only stopped for a major medical injury. wasn't the case either time. glad it was only a minor ankle roll.

I'm not going to say that play is why we lost, but I really wonder what happens if he doesn't trip and dunks it. Does FSU go on that huge run in the 1st?

Yup. Go back to the “He Got Game” Jordan 13’s. Pretty sure he played well in those. And they’re not a flimsy, support-less sock like the KD’s.

I think OP was saying the travel should have been called and stopped play.

 

[tbonezone]

JB cited 2 blown lay ups in his post press. i'm guessing it was hughes and carey. said it impacted the game.
and had the shot gone in some would be complaining about the travel call...

I kept seeing everyone complain about our guys slipping on that end of the court. FSU had no problem in 2nd half on that end. Maybe our guys are just clumsy

Money, it's gotta be the shoes.

How do you propose to determine if something is a major injury in real time?

 

[tbonezone]

well ...like when they return to play next whistle ? you don't stop a break for a flop.they whistled the ball dead for chukwu and it turned out to be nothing. see where i'm going here ? if they score it's 30 secs tops.

Those are nice thinking of buying a pair. I just got the jordan 3 retros.

No I don't. Chukwu was in serious pain (from knee to knee contact) and Hughes suddenly crumbled to the court while driving for an uncontested basket. Each could have suffered a serious injury, and there was no way anyone could have determined they hadn't in the moment.

 

[tbonezone]

pain ok. but he wasn't having cardiac issues. or bleeding out. like the dome at the 5 minute mark last night.
you get knocked down no foul called and the other team has a runout chance for easy points they earned them.

In fact I did notice 2 FSU players not counting Terrence Mann go down on the north end of the court on the opposition bench’s side. I saw Brissett and Hughes slip (Hughes multiple times) and fall there too. On SU’s bench side end of the court where Hughes fell hard, I didn’t notice the same thing.

 

[tbonezone]

i saw guys dressed in green with green mops on the ESPN replay. are those mops sticky or slimey ?

SU leads the nation in slips. We need better shoe soles or something.

I mean it doesn't help that we wear a different shoe every game. Pick a shoe and stick with it.

Man, my favorite shoes overall gotta be 12s for fit. But man the older 12s fit NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Hughes did kill it with the shuttlesworth 13s though.
