Maybe time for mixed officiating crews to avoid such lopsided calls?

Based on his performance this year AJ does probably deserve to start. But some players are better coming off the bench so I would be cautious about starting him. I think that the platooning scheme BU is using where the second wave comes in the game after about 4 minutes works pretty well.
Alstork came out hot. we need to get playmakers in there. TFs defense I thought was good. Damontes baseline putback was beautiful. MS got tangled in the trees couple times. Nice to see 3s drop a little better, but team seemed hesitant at the end.

We have a winner!
Would love to see the Big Ten say screw you ACC, he ain't getting suspended.
Not far off IMO.

Agree. If it was anybody but Leron we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

Yeah, and we were picked 12th out of 14 in the Big Preseason poll
Oh yes, we were on the road too.
What's your point?
Alstork is already dealing with confidence issues. I fear moving him to the bench will just make it worse.
FeelTheUnderwood.
looks to me like Leron is looking up at the basket, not the guy.
I know Underwood isn't Huggins or Martin, but the one thing I was hoping for that I didn't see what that suffocating WVU press toward the end of the game (if anyone watched WVU vs. Mizzou on Sunday that's exactly what I mean).
When we pulled within 3 with 2 minutes to go it seemed like Wake was a bit rattled -- but we backed off on the pressure and tried to play straight up. Get a turnover there and then who knows.
Devils advocate -- we played tight pressure most of the first half and it turned into a TON of fouls. So who knows. This is why I'm not a head coach.

I agree with the assessment concerning the big men. Lack of depth will be a problem.

Just TC being TC. He is simply “just pointing out a fact”. Go back to your clever posts from a few years back. They were much better. The recent pessimistic factual statements are just not you. You are better than that.
I really dont think starting lineup matters...AJ has shown that. we will almost always lose when we shoot 39% against 51% by opponents. Our D broke down in 2d half.

Not too far off from our conference prediction. Based on pre-season polls, pretty even. Home team held serve.
I know everyone is high on TJL but I've said this before
Smith - PG
Alstork (would rather have Williams)
AJ
Black
Finke
If you all are true basketball observers Smith moves the ball more effective when he's at the point also that hand off on the backend gets Smith going to the basket or looking for the jumper.....
Alstork and Williams can defend the point if that's why u are playing TJL...
Smith is a true PG/floor general/born and bread but he is playing very tentative and looks like he's trying to stay in the game but is not being effective
NW game I would go with
Williams, Smith, Jordan, Nichols, Black
Finke, Lucas, Alstork, Frazier
Talent starts, if we get behind, elder "even keeled" right the ship, if we are ahead, "even keeled" elder players build on lead?
And we were picked 12th out of 14
C'mon Jim, no using logic after a close loss...ledges may come into play...lol
Why I could never be a basketball coach
Yep, I would have gotten my second T on the goaltending call.
Also, only one ref reviewed the goaltending call. Is that common? Shouldn't all three look at it?
