Re: Up Next: Evansville

Who the hell is baldy reffing tonight? Couple of head-scratchers...maybe that explains the hair.

Edit: alright, replay showed that was a good call on the charge. Still...you're bald!

Not sure of the baldy, but the white haired guy is Tom Eades. He did the Iowa State game last night. I've thought he was an odd ref. Makes lots of make-up calls. He has some Final Fours to his credit, so he rates out pretty well.

Koch getting mobbed with double-teams and triple-teams in the 2nd half, leading to couple misses. Crazy how aggressive they're allowing Aces on D but any contact Koch makes is immediately whistled. Lots of pushing and shoving by the Aces on their screens and set plays...whats up with that?

Re: Up Next: Evansville

Wow, McDonnell has some phenomenal footwork and is unbelievably aware of the space around him. Really impressed by what he's showing tonight.

Re: Up Next: Evansville

Great move by McDonnell, he was set up to turn into the defense and lose the ball or get a charge. He stayed under control and split the two defenders.

That foul on #0 was a perfect example of a make-up call. Eades missed the push off against Morgan, then called a ticky-tack foul after the steal. He makes a few of those calls (or making up for a bad call by doing something to give the ball back to the other team) every time I see him.

Re: Up Next: Evansville

I really thought McDonnell needed more muscle to compete. Guess he's proving me wrong, I'm okay with that.

Re: Up Next: Evansville

The noticeable difference in Koch vs. Luke...Efficiency.

Luke doesn't have wasted movement.

Like that last catch...Dribble step thru...And lay up.

Efficient

I was with you. Really interesting you don't have to be the tallest guy to rebound and apparently you can be built like a high school Sophomore and compete.

Re: Up Next: Evansville

Ashton took a pretty vicious shot toward the guy's face. I know he was just trying to knock a loose ball away, but he could have gotten a flagrant there.

Re: Up Next: Evansville

Is it even arguable that Morgan has an NBA level defense? Can anyone in their right mind argue against that?

Re: Up Next: Evansville

Luuuuuuuke!
Ashton is guarding Brown like crazy!
Defense is rolling.

Can he guard LeBron?

Re: Up Next: Evansville

Far too many cases this year of scorekeepers affecting the game. The scorers should know right away that it was the guy's 5th foul. Don't wait until the ref gives Morgan the ball.

Still not anywhere as bad as the Georgia / Texas A&M game on Saturday. That was horrible.

Re: Up Next: Evansville

This last few minutes is the definition of sloppy basketball, by both teams. Goodness.

Re: Up Next: Evansville

Oh these refs sure are something.
