Re: CU at UNI

And our Defense was pretty dang good I thought and our Offensive rebounding came alive... and stopping theirs!

Yeah, what good defense doesn't allow multiple baseline drives for layups?

Re: CU at UNI

Defense truly "broke down" about 5 times...too many to win yesterday. But I think a lot of our defensive problems also came from not hitting open shots and giving them some long rebounds to be able to get out and run in transition. It caused our guys to have to frantically get back on D and left some gaping holes in our D. We hit more than 29% of our shots and suddenly you can set up your defense much better.

Re: CU at UNI

Never have I seen a call like that (against O'Rear) in all my years! Did someone seated in the south/east stands see him throw an elbow or something? He did stay slow to further the contact and was probably looking to get a foul called, but that was because he WAS being fouled. The guy was on his back. Whistle should have been blown seconds earlier.

That being said, there were several traveling calls (including Koch & Jordan) that were not called.

Re: CU at UNI

I'm sure they did a good job except for the offensive foul on Jordan's putback in the first half, the crappy call against O'Rear for an offensive foul for dribbling up the court.

IMO, the call on O'Rear was warranted. He tried to cut in front of the defender 3 different times, and all 3 times it was O'Rear who initiated the contact.

But the defense can stop in front of an offensive player to get a charge called.


On a side note I think the charge is the most over-called foul in all of college basketball.

Agreed. You don't even have to earn it anymore. And it has almost eliminated driving to the hoop.

Also, the NCAA needs to get the arch in the lane like the NBA does.

I was waiting for it to get called on Lucas the entire time up the court. I'm failry certain that was the correct call, because the offense can not stop while in front of the defense to draw the contact. At least that is what I was taught growing up, I could be wrong though.

Re: CU at UNI

I don't even know what kind of foul it was. Charging? How do you do that when the guy is behind you? Wern't they both going forward?

Oh, well. Take it out on SIU.

The ref made a motion like Lucas had swung his elbow back. I didn't see it, but my angle would not have allowed me to see that.

I believe it falls into the same category as a blocking violation.

Re: CU at UNI

After the Creighton player had pushed him once without a call, he tried to then stop in front and still didn't get a call. At that point, he should have just taken the ball up court but he tried again, at which point the ref called the foul on him. Might have been for trying to show up the ref as much as anything else, but yes, Lucas initiated the contact the last time for sure.

I've always thought that poor referees call a lot of charges because they don't get themselves into the right position and its the easier call to make when a defender flops to the ground
