C’mon, Clark and Williams were in foul trouble. Not going to win without Clark if he fouls out. And Williams is our best wing defender.
Do you really want to use excessive pressure with the way the whistles were being blown? Wasn't 38 foul shots by the opposition enough?
You have to adapt to the way the game is being called and I think we all saw enough of the conga line to the charity stripe by USC.

Please share it with us cats in Norf Delco that hoop every tues, thurs and sat with D1 cats...they said they interested in learning
Very happy the entire way so far and Sha can't be another Brian Dabol type coach. Last year had to be a football Giants type seasson where the roster construction and roster management was the main cause. BTW, you were spot on about WSU as a team.
There were a number of called fouls that did not appear to be fouls.
Sha is the first real Pirate since Richie to be our coach. His committment breathed new life into the program after the criminal post PJ programacide. And he was a great player, obviously, and his growth as a young man was great to see. He was the guy I wanted to succeed KW. And after last season, wtf happened.
And now we play Shaheen level intensity, have some depth and have a new roster (that miraculously arrived without the guidance of a GM) that is as tough and together as I could hope.
Bilas gave us so many complinents on our offense, it was like he was Sha's press sec'y. And maybe it is time to revise upward my BE record prediction of 10-10

There are certain calls that are reviewable and do not require a coach's challenge. Out of bounds/possession calls fall under the challenge rule.
There is a link on page 1 of this thread with the parameters of the new challenge rule.
Just have to avoid the torpedoes against Central Connecticut State at Walsh on Dec 3rd and then Rutgers at The Rock on December 13th.
Even if we lose at Kansas State, finishing 9-2 without any bad losses and a neutral site win over NC State will give us a respectable non-conference resume. Then you try to get to 11-9 in the BE.
A real nice surprise to even be thinking about this.

This is why I hate playing RU... Another year this game is considered a "torpedo" for us.
I'm not even sure how it's still a rivalry -- 1) we are not in the same conference; 2) we rarely if ever recruit the same players; 3) none of the players grew up with each other in NJ/NY anymore.
It's just a performative rivalry at this point.
It’s okay….
Same as games like Creighton-Nebraska, Marquette-Wisconsin, Providence-URI, Georgetown-Maryland, the Big Five games, etc.
It‘s not particularly fun, but it’s all part of the game.
Walking out of the rac in a shu sweatshirt after we beat them is tons of fun!
a pal of mine, ru guy, gave me his tickets to the sh game a few times. We were winning each game. a real JO who didnt know hoop sat behind us. each year, he left early and as he walked past my son and i, he said to his son, "at least we have our own arena" lmao

A 10-10 Big East team hasn’t gotten in in years. In a weak BE, doubtful that would happen this season.
Mighty big east already a big fall in mid November ooc
Obviously a loooong way to go. But isn’t it refreshing to even have these glimmers of hope after last year?
You or I might think that, but they reason this change was enacted was to stop the constant trips to the monitor near the end of games. Many here have criticized the way the flow of games was affected by those frequent delays.
I, frankly, hope the rule is modified next year to be more like the NFL rule where challenges go away in the final two minutes of the game and reviews are initiated by the officials.
The issue there is it goes completely against what this rule change is trying to accomplish.
deciding who the ball really hit last should not be time consuming
I don't disagree in general but often those calls are more complicated and deceptive depending on the camera angle.
The play in our game should have been a very quick look but I've seen plenty of others where it's not that simple.
My view is the idea behind having video review is to get calls correct. I'm ok with it taking a few moments to accomplish that.
Especially one looking right at the play from 5-7 feet away on the baseline with a perfect angle.
The way they were calling the game maybe we shouldn't be surprised
It's a big draw for both teams, especially for SHU in an arena. If we are going to continue to schedule cupcakes then we should have this game on the schedule even if it's a home game every two years. Otherwise, we may not have a marquee out of conference home game on the schedule some years.
In all honesty when was the last time Rutgers was a "marquee" opponent? I can probably count on 1 hand (probably don't need a full hand) since the formation of the new BE that RU was considered a real "marquee" opponent.
EDIT: Answered my own question... They've been over .500 only 4 times since the new BE and only 1 season they achieved 20 wins.
Rutgers is NOT a marquee opponent. We can just schedule any random low achieving high major conference opponent at that point.
Because the 3 refs all are looking at different things from different pov. In the case of the baseline ref he only saw one pov and the usc player screened him. This is why last min of reg reviews were actually a good thing not left in hands of gimmick challenge system
