I believe that we got iced by the fouls and review time

SLB · Post by **SLB** » January 18th, 2020, 10:38 pm

Boise State hit everything with refs not allowing to have defense in the game.
Both teams had a combine 56 fouls.
Rough game, but we will come back.

Soft passes, lack of focus

Aggiesbleedblue · Post by **Aggiesbleedblue** » January 18th, 2020, 10:41 pm

The refs blew a 17 point lead in 3:30? Must’ve missed that part. Or was Brito wearing stripes?

Lost focus and we got seriously iced. Seriously, the game should have ended an hour ago.

I think the refs had some bad calls on Queta that allowed him to foul out too early which costed us the game...so in a way the refs did cost us a little. But in no way we should give up a 18 pt lead.

The 56 fouls and endless reviewing almost made a quick game into 3 hours.

You are up by 2 with 4 seconds to go and you have the ball to in bounds. Lets be honest you should not lose that game. There was no need to rush that pass. YOu have a timeout at the very least send throw the ball past half court so even if they steal they have no time to make anything happen.

Everybody but Brito knew that.

56 fouls with a boatload of them at the end of the 2nd half was crazy. Our defense got weak when the wave of fouls got too crazy.

We will come back?? What in conference play has shown that this team has the ability to play a full 40 min? You’d have to try to blow an 18pt lead with 4 left. Blaming refs and delays?? Make an inbounds pass, play a little D, don’t foul 3 pt shooter, then when turning it over don’t stand around while player makes layup to tie game.

I agree, but we were out of sorts when the fouls got crazy.

Brito played like the old Brito. He has been that guy all season

There are a few on this board that believe we are only a few bad calls that are separating us from being undefeated.

SLB · Post by **SLB** » January 18th, 2020, 10:50 pm

To give context, the foul number was complain about for the Nevada game last season. There was 2 more fouls here with most at the end of the game.

The thing is both teams had to sit through the fouls and the reviews. This was lost by poor coaching and expecting 4 guys to play for two hours and not get gassed

True, but the moment changed in the game was when the fouls got crazy. Refs had more playing time than the players at the end of the 2nd half.

If it weren’t for those calls we would not have scored at all the last 5 minutes of regulation. And did we hit a field goal in OT?

No team's defense accomplished to getting to LSU's weakness. Good for LSU, no defense could really get that offense with the pass rush and coverage that was needed. Many said here were bragging how good LSU was without facing elite teams was also my other point which was correct. Most wonder why many were upset at me at the time, I pointed out the flaw in the argument at the time of proving LSU was great.

Give that freshman credit he played awesome and hit huge shots. That being said you should not lose that game being up 5 with 10 seconds to go. Even when they hit that 3 the last thing you can do is turn the ball over on the in bounds. Even if we get fouled and miss both free throws they then have to drive the length of the court in 3 seconds to get a basket which is very unlikely. Brito cannot make that mistake that is all their is to it.

The fact is, LSU proved you were wrong and that they were underrated being #5 and were actually #1.

Yep that is all their is to it. I don't know how he hit that three, but in no way should we pass a soft bounce pass to the corner. You either chuck the ball at least far enough to where if you turn it over, they have like 3 seconds to try and get a shot or be more patient. He literally passed it in right away and didn't let the inbound develop.

If you notice at the time, I use real data to prove that argument and proved the flaws in the data in the counterargument. It is clear that many of the LSU fans here wanted to make a personal thing with me which is boring to everyone.

I made a prediction that turned out to be incorrect. My point about my prediction was not the real issue, but the fact of the weak counterargument at the time really got people getting personal over a team that is not in our conference and not going to play us against for some time is plain silly.

It just inexcusable he literally threw it in before our players even cut for it, plus we had a timeout to use as well.

No. The moment the game changed was with under 6 minutes to go when we quit doing what we do best. We let the air out of the ball and just tried dribbling the clock down. Playing not to lose just about never works. We gave them all the momentum. Game over"I hope Smith learned his lesson tonight.

I agree with this, but at the same time if you look at the odds taking 25-30 seconds off the clock each possession the last 4-5 minutes up by 16 points will win you the game probably greater than 90% of the time. The problem was all the turnovers and that player got hot. We were up 16 with 3 and half minutes to go. Literally everything had to go Boise's way to win which it did, but more often than not you would win with that strategy and margin.

Yes. The strategy wasn't awful, but the execution was. Running out the clock is what most coaches would do, it is just we had too many turnovers on press breaks and inbound and they got hot. How often is it a freshman who has not scored comes in the last 3 minutes and gets 19 points...not often. Hats off to them. Our guys did not execute and played scared. No one to blame but ourselves.
