MBB vs JMU: The Game & The Event

Thanks for the great summary, really wanted to make that one last night but too much came up last minute to make the drive over. I agree the turning point was that offensive foul on Kobe that was his 3rd and sent him to the bench. So much momentum in our favor at that moment that went out the window there. I was screaming at the TV “slow it down” as he went down the court. I totally can see how in real time it looked like a bad call but on the replay you could see he threw the elbow out as he went up and that is what they got him for. Even Mouton commented on the broadcast watching the replay that the ref got that one right. The travel and continuation that JMU got were pretty bad though.

The problem is if we slow it down, they can match up with us in half court where they have the advantage

They had the advantage in every aspect. We needed to play lights out, not get Big Fished, and make free throws.

Defensively the effort was there, we got Marlin’d, and didn’t make free throws.

I was referring to that particular possession, I felt that foul coming as Kobe crossed half court.

Thanks for summary.

I’m not going to another game until change is made.
