I was glad to see Ben pulled for Booth at the 16:00 TV TO. Surprised it was Booth based on recent substitution patterns. He has so much athleticism and rebounding ability. Loved seeing him play next to Rez out there. They were such a defensive force.

They had a really nice dual contest of a shot that probably would have been called a foul on both of them at the same time if it happened later in the game. I kind of thought Booth had earned some more time based on that short stretch.

I did too. One thing for sure…we don’t owe Ben any minutes. I want Morez and Booth on this team next year and those guys need more minutes and fast.

Don’t want to be a Debbie Downer in here but it needs to be said. Hum, Jake Davis, and Carey Booth are contributing a lot less than we hoped for at this point. Rotation beyond 8 guys is really weak. Not sure why Ty thought he wouldn’t be playing much…

Well, everyone is contributing less than I hoped with the exception of KJ. But I always have high hopes and modest expectations.

Booth, Davis, and Ben about what I expected. I never much got the excitement.

It's hard for me to keep people straight on here. Not sure if it was an isolated few or a majority with the inflated expectations.

Agree. However, almost nonexistent in motion picture form these days.

I agree 100% with that sentiment!

Here’s one reason why: studios need the overseas market to turn a profit. Domestically, they break even. Action and horror movies translate well to all languages, but the nuances of comedy do not. Because of that, comedy can’t rely on language-related jokes and instead need to be based on physical aspects that do, such as fart or poop gags, getting hit in the crotch or other wacky slapstick. A joke like “don’t call me Shirley” wouldn’t translate into other languages so that style of comedy in film is essentially nonexistent.

I wonder what the Blues' schedule is and if that had an impact on the time. If they're playing tomorrow, they might have needed to have the game early so the crew could turn it over in enough time.

Blues last played at home this past Tuesday and aren't back home again until this coming Friday night. This is one of normally two times of year (the other being Arch Madness) when they have to have an extended period of time away from home.

I hate that I’m saying this, but…

Assuming the individuals on the team continue to progress, I think we can do something special again this year. We showed great fight and resiliency today.

The big IF…beloved coach Underwood can make the proper lineup adjustments and the staff can give us some improved sets/plays

I think we are a good team but we need either Tomi or Riley to be special to be special.

Was at the game with my son. Left the arena asking him if I had seen one of the worst officiated games ever? I assumed I had gotten caught up in the emotion
and the atmosphere. When I got home and rewatched, I have come to the conclusion that, no, I did not overreact. What amazes me is the calm, coolness that our players showed. In particular Rez and Tre, who had the most egregious calls against them, never lost their cool. I’m super impressed with there ability to be in that moment and not go nuts like I was in the stands

Just finished watching the game and that’s a gutsy win. KJ is a beast but Boswelll was the leader today.

Other thing I’ll say is the BH hate on here is getting stupid. They targeted him early and he did exactly what you’re supposed to: wall up and force a tough midrange shot. They made tough shots but not b/c of bad D. His 2nd half D was VERY good…not perfect but he played well. I get it that his shot’s not falling and that’s gotta change. But he wasn’t nearly as bad as some of you are acting like. Where are the same takes on WR?

Going forward hoping to see Morez get 22+ minutes. Booth also needs to see court, has length and ability.

Anyone have an idea of the disappearance of Booth? He has become the new Danj. Most certainly going to transfer at the end of the year with lack of playing time.

I think that’s fair. That’s also part of the first part of my statement. But, imo, what has held us back the most so far **this year** has been coaching and rotations

Trey White is coming into his own he hit a huge and one and us the reason Ty redshirt given our roster. Ty is what I hope Ty would or can become. Trey White scored 46 points these last 3 games, is knocking down FTs n key shots and doing it all. I hope Ty improves and stays but i am so thankful Trey is here filling that void.

Ya'll, I've got the first 4 being fouls here at the high school level. (NFHS)

You cannot jump forward into the offensive player. You can be square to the defender and jump up or backwards but not forwards.

The last foul, that's a no call.

First and last looked clean, middle 3 were fair calls. Love the way he challenges though regardless.

The 2005 NC game was more brutal for me. Sean May was bulldozing guys without a call while Augustine was being called for handchecks 25 feet from the hoop.
