Game thread USC/ ARK.

[jeff2001]

74-71 3:50 to go. Put Kotsar back in .

 

[Rhizzlebop]

Does maik return here or wait till 2:30?

 

[OldWiseCock]

I like Hannibal, but he is a ball hog. He's got to learn to give it up.

 

[Cybercock]

They just take the ball and drive into us to draw the foul

 

[dreuscock]

Ref's not calling this game fairly.

 

[OldWiseCock]

Does maik return here or wait till 2:30?

I'd wait. Try McCreary and Frink.

 

[Cocky4SC]

Can the refs help Arkansas stay in the game anymore than they already have?!?!

 

[Expro19]

Referees starting to call fouls off the energy of the crowd. It happens every time... Total shit call on leveque

 

[Rhizzlebop]

They just take the ball and drive into us to draw the foul

The guards are allowing the penetration. Bigs not sliding out fast enough. No collapse and control

 

[GeoCocky]

Despite the garbage fouls, Wildens had a great night: 8 pts, 5 rebs in 8 minutes.

 

[paladin181]

So they call blocking on obvious charges, then call some real B.S. against us... I had to turn it off, honestly. Can't watch these refs call every ticky-tack thing.

 

[OldWiseCock]

Good old names. Walt Bellamy for the Hawks, Dave Bing, Dave DeBusschere, Calvin Murphy, Rick Barry, Wilt, John Havlicheck, Bob Cousey, Oscar Robertson, Tom Boarwinkle, Jerry West, Earl Monroe. Coaches like Red Auerbach, Red Holzman, Butch Van Breda Koff, etc.
That was when watching the NBA was fun.

Walt Frazier, Bill Bradley, Big O, Don Nelson, Spencer Heywood and Gail Goodrich.

 

[GeoCocky]

Now 37 fouls in the 2nd half (21 on us).

 

[Jon Snow]

Shaky officiating these past few minutes, in particular. They don't seem sure what they should call on either end.

 

[Expro19]

Ridiculous refs man. There's a ton of acting going on

 

[paladin181]

So I turned it back on... Why are fouls not sending teams to the stripe when we are both in the double bonus?

 

[Rhizzlebop]

Just lost the ball....

 

[gamecocks247]

Why are fouls not sending teams to the stripe when we are both in the double bonus?

Don't get free throws on an offensive foul

 

[GeoCocky]

Why are fouls not sending teams to the stripe when we are both in the double bonus?

Charges are player control fouls; no FTs.

 

[roosterbell]

And another ridiculous turnover. My goodness.

 

[Lowcountry1]

So I turned it back on... Why are fouls not sending teams to the stripe when we are both in the double bonus?

Only on defensive fouls.

 

[jeff2001]

78-75 USC 42 sec.

 

[OldWiseCock]

Note to Frank: now's not the time to be yelling at guys.

 

[paladin181]

Ah, thanks guys.

 

[Expro19]

Hannibal needs to be more protective with the ball. That one handed throw pass is hard to handle that low..

 

[BobbyFoosball]

Wow. Trying to give it away. Come on, guys. Don't let one guy beat you.

 

[Cybercock]

Wow.... catch the ball

 

[roosterbell]

A couple more stops

 

[gamecocks247]

Ridiculous refs man. There's a ton of acting going on

You do realize it's going both ways though, right? They have been awful all game long against both teams.

 

[BobbyFoosball]

Maybe our players should figure out that these refs aren't going to call a charge on Arkansas.

 

[Brace1]

This has been a good game to watch.

 

[jeff2001]

My heart cant take it.

 

[gamecocks247]

going to come down to knocking down ft's. who is going to step up?

 

[Jon Snow]

Not sure about the blocking call against Kotsar. Kind of looked like a charge.

 

[gamecocks247]

Maybe we shouldn't call them Free throws. Maybe instead discount throws?

 

[Jon Snow]

Can Frank recruit one of those skinny, balding 50 year old guys I watch drain FTs at the Y all day long?

 

[roosterbell]

Instead of icing the game up double figures, it comes down to this. FTs are so easy to make but not for us.

 

[gamecocks247]

No 3 pointers!

 

[wallycock]

FT’s!

 

[gamecocks247]

Big win!
