***Pitt @ Wake Game Thread***
- Thread starter Protes
- Start date
OK - I looked it up. Here's the language:
according to NCAA basketball rules, you cannot "knock down" a screener; a defender is not allowed to make illegal contact with a screener by pushing them over or causing them to fall, as this would be considered a foul and penalized as such.
You didn't like the call. OK. But it WAS a foul for gods sake.
I always have to remind myself even when the students at Pitt don’t “show up”. They are still 100 x more than a lot of places. There is no student section at wake other than the band. No advantage. I will say a lot more alumni and locals though.
If that's the standard for a foul on a screen then there should have already been at least a half dozen of them called this game. At least.
And if you think that the ref agreeing means that it was called correctly, then how can you possibly think that any calls were questionable? After all, that's what the ref thought.
I hope the fouls on starters don't come back and hurt us later. We'll need those guys in the second half for our usual frantic comeback. 
About time we're on the right end of some favorable calls and defensive stupidity.
Wake with 0 offensive rebounds in the first half.
I wonder, have we held a team without an offensive rebound for a whole half at all this season before today?

Gotta love a 60 year old woman in a top hat waving pom pom wands and screaming at the opposition as they file into the locker room for haltime.
She's in the student section. She's a graduate student.
Pitt only 4 turnovers but they seemed to come in that one spurt by Wake when they went up 9
Kante with some nice minutes
Very winnable game if Pitt stays out of foul and ref trouble
Wake shooting 55% but has 10 less FG attempts

Look. I gave you the rule. You can't knock guys over. Corhen clearly knocks him down. Foul. The refs called it. There have been plenty of questionable calls. But that wasn't one.
Then that baby she was next to must be a grade-skipping enigma! He can ace Calc 3 in genius fashion; just can't master the whole feeding himself thing.
We could use some more production from the bench, especially if the foul trouble continues.
24 minutes, 2 points, 1-2 from the field, 1 rebound, 1 assist.

We're going to need to turn it up defensively and get some ball movement offensively if we want to win this one. We score when we keep spacing and ball movement.
It’s clear during the 4 game losing streak that Dunn was nowhere near the top of his game - probably played him too much too soon
I like Josh Pastner at halftime. "When Cal left Memphis, no one wanted to replace him. When I left Memphis, everyone wanted to replace me."
Why in gods name is Lowe leaving Johson? Glue yourself to that guy. Jeez.
