Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off (11/17 &11/18)

WOW...REALLY?

[MRSGDG]

Guys fought hard, very hard. Great to see the team come back from being down. Didn't win, but we did better than expected.

[DanesRGood]

Terrible way to lose. Well drawn and executed play by Loyola to win it. Although thought there was a push off. Iatis shot was amazing. If that went to ot I think I we would've won.

Ouch.. This one hurt... Great showing though... Right there...

[UA'08]

Would have been a great win.

[Dane Pound]

Bizarre ending to a great comeback.

 

I was really happy to see the way some of the young and new guys played so well against a good team. Evans, Hooley and Rowley all battled to drag us back into it.

 

I'm concerned some of the veterans haven't played well the last few games. Namely Puk and Guerrier. We're going to need those guys.

 

Tough five games to open the year. I would have loved 4-1.

[MRSGDG]

Four of our five games have been determined by 3pts or less. Just something I noticed, not sure what that means if anything.

I could've sworn he shuffled his feet on the last play, but in a MAAC-sponsored tournament giving away MAAC stuff as prizes, we weren't going to get that call. Reminded me of the '72 Olympics.

 

Edit: well, not THAT bad, now that I've looked at it again, but a similar feeling, and our game was only tied

Of course missing Black for most of the second half didn't help. Neither did Metcalf's free throw shooting. But at least we took care of the ball better in the second half.

 

My first time seeing Loyola, so I don't understand how Patsos doesn't get about five technicals per game.

Wilkins' blog says Mike Black has a possible hip pointer.

[MRSGDG]

Washington lost tonight to Ohio State 77-66.

[DanesRGood]

Is there anywhere that has the highlights from the game? I'd love to see the Iati 3 again and the travel at the end.

I am more concerned about Devlin at this point. Guerrier will have his hot and cold days, but there are guys who can pick up the shooting slack. I think Puk will be fine when we/he gets against lesser opponents then what we have faced so far; and Blake is more than a capable back-up to Puk But I think we are still missing the Luke of 09-10, and in spite of a pretty GREAT start @ 3-2 (almost 4-1), we are going to need him.

 

ps. If it was a football game with fair officiating, the last play would have been an offensive interference penalty.
