Live Game Thread: Indiana vs Michigan St

We could be the slowest team in America on close out 3's.
Or our rotation is never right..
A combination of both ..imo
 
The best part of turning down TV volume and listening to Fischer is missing the commercials especially that Dr Pepper one.
 
Msu shouldering IU players as they walk by. These punks certainly have taken on Izzy’s personality
 
In the Ref'ing department, it could be worse.

We could have had Boroski and the Bald Headed Lurch calling the game.
 
Isn't this a strange game? IU plays lackluster and the lead blooms for MSU and I get despondent. Then all of a sudden IU strings some points together and I get excited again. Then the despondency returns. They keep pulling me back in!!!!
 
If I were Woodson..... as soon as they get off the bus in Btown..... I would have them on the court at the free throw lines for 48 straight hours. Our free throw shooting is terrible.
 
Yep… they got a lot of sectional titles … back in the day. … and had a big run of them in Class A
One of my greatest sports memories is back in 83 during single class tourney. Washington just thumped Loogootee in the Hatchet house. Craig Noodle Neal steals the ball comes down the floor and slams the ball while I was sitting right behind that basket.

Knight literally did this in the 80s. My roommates were managers. They got off the plane from somewhere at 2am and shot free throws till 5am. They went back to practice later that morning.

The game is over so if I am Woody I get two techs ripping the living shit out of these three ****s
One of the worst called games I have watched this season. Bates didn’t even touch him on that layup. Guy kicked his leg for contact.
 
TJD should have owned this game from the inside and fouled their bigs out. Between him and Race we are so much more talented there. Race is becoming one heck of a player and I hope he returns next year.

Final stat on FTs:

IU -- 16 of 27

MSU -- 25 of 28

We lost 9 free points right there.
 
FIBA Rule Book says the ball has to hit the backboard. Art. 23 p. 29

NCAA makes one buy their rule book.

WOW!!!!!!!!.. If they had called Rule 33.12 today..... all the Michigan Post players would have been fouled out when guarding TJD!!!!!!! They had their Hips, Knees, Thighs.... you name it..... into TJD rooting him out.

Page 42 of 96 OFFICIAL BASKETBALL RULES 2020 June 2020
"It is a foul by an offensive or defensive player in the post position to shoulder or hip
his opponent out of position or to interfere with his opponent’s freedom of movement
using extended arms, shoulders, hips, legs or other parts of the body."

Need to have TJD feeding Race from the perimeter. Race should be getting more shots than TJD.
 

Art. 5. The following principles apply to post play and constitute fouls when
violated:
a. Neither the offense nor defense may dislodge an opponent during post play
by pushing, backing into, or using a leg, knee or arm to move an opponent
from a legally established position ( Exception: Rule 10-1.5.d);
b. A post player may establish post position with their arm(s) bent at the elbow.
A straight arm may not be used to ward off an opponent or to prevent from
legally guarding the post player;
c. The “swim stroke” may not be used by the offense or defense to reposition,
regain position, or move an opponent from a legally established position;
d. Defensive players may use one arm bar on a post player, with or without the
ball, when either the post player or the post defender or both are in the post
area. The arm bar may not be extended or used to dislodge an opponent;
and
e. Defensive players in the post are required to adhere to all other guarding
rules.

Wouldn't a Post Player "Backing Down" defenders in the Post constitute an Offensive Foul then????
(aka: Cockburn - ill, Williams - Pur)

WOW..... if the referees would actually follow the rules in this rule book.... the whole games that we are watching would be more enjoyable to watch!!!!!!!!!

Trayce and Race back defenders down too. It’s the combo hook and shoulder dip that needs to be called more.
