Two terrible charge calls in this game on Mintz. You can’t be running back on D, moving your legs, and be getting a charge call. It defies common sense. And then to call a flagrant there to end the game?! The whole idea of the flagrant is unnecessary plays— guys get hit the face and head all the time on normal drives. Just a shame because they should have won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also on the UNC missed free throw, Bacot pushes Hima in the back which is why he doesn’t get the rebound and no call there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheektavegas Charlie Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I used to be a much bigger SU basketball fan, but in the last 5 years or so I basically turned into a very casual fan. I would look up the box scores after they played, but didn’t really watch any games unless they were in the Tournament, didn’t follow recruiting, etc. I pretty much went all in on the Bills and became less of a fan of my other teams. Anyway, after yet another crushing Bills playoff loss, I decided I wanted to stop putting all of my passion for sports into one team and thought I would get back into SU basketball, so I watched last night’s game. I couldn’t believe how bad the product was. From the constant replay reviews on obvious calls, the horrendous officiating, the announcing, the lack of replays on the broadcast after questionable calls, the flagrant foul on what was basically just a routine collision. It was all very frustrating and almost unwatchable to me. For those of you who have watched a lot of college basketball recently, are games commonly like this? I played and watched basketball for many years (although not recently) and have never seen plays like that draw a flagrant foul. Is this a new officiating emphasis, or was it more of an anomaly?

Unfortunately, this is becoming more of the norm in basketball. The flagrant foul stuff is similar to how in the NFL they now micro-analyze every ball movement during a “catch” to then overrule our common sense as to what a catch is. NBA is worse, because you have all these challenges and really wonky interpretations of charges/blocks. By the way, how about taking a heart-breaking loss by the Bills to then follow it up with that Syracuse loss. Can’t we find a little sports happiness?! 🥲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Wish they could have pulled that out. Played UVA as well as they ever had on both sides of the ball. Just a bad charge on Edwards and then UVA hits an absurd contested shot over Hima, and that’s the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurts that UNC and UVA losses were basically decided by charge calls too. That said, that was a charge by Edwards. any chance Edwards comes back? He can legit improve his draft stock if he does? Needs to develop an outside shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep reading stuff about how he wasnt at the last game He has been a complete bust as a 5 star recruit and just had his starting spot taken. I’d guess he’s headed toward the transfer portal. My guess is that he and JB had a heated convo prior to the UVA game. He’ll “play nice” the rest of the season and then transfer.

Feels like he’s more likely to return to Europe than the NBA but you never really know. Either way it doesn’t sound like he’ll be back. I think expectations for next season should be pretty low but it seems like we’re finally starting to recruit again thanks to Weitsman. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think today is a pretty good indicator of his potential, as it was one of the few times he wasn’t regularly doubled. He is not going to get double teamed in the pros. I still think though he could really benefit from staying and developing an outside shot, and maybe adding more beef to his frame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he could benefit… But Jim will never Tell a hard-working kid like Jesse… Who developed into a pro… That he needs one more year He will tell him to get the money… And honestly… Look how well a free throw shooter he is… Good touch He actually had a decent mid range game in high school… I just don’t think he’s showing that much… Because his hook shots are incredible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am a little biased. Good point Re his FT shooting and touch. I suspect JB doesn’t want him taking a bunch of 15-footers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray Wyatt Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 This game we should have won by even more, they got their ***** together in the second half though. Edwards was battling through some issues with handing the ball. Girard had a great game and Mintz came on in the 2nd (two missed dunks tho…..) also thought Benny Williams played some good minutes. Bell did not have his shot today but kept grinding 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
