Nevada Game Thread

If I was a Nevada fan I'd be embarrassed.

That wasn't basketball.

I refuse to believe you're being serious.

Gotta keep people on their toes when we blow someone out and all we see is 100 free throws and 65 points scored from the line. ;)

What's shockernet without some pointless argument during a game? Am I right? :D

We won by 29. Out FT shot them 62 to 31 and made 23 more FTs than they did.


That's pretty much the difference in the game.

Granted, yes, most of the Nevada fouls were warranted and due to frustration late thanks to getting trounced.

But I just want everyone to remember this when a few fouls don't go our way the next few games. Every single foul went our way this game and we shot 62 freaking free throws because of it.

These were actual fouls.. Not phantom calls. By your own stats we still win by 6 without a single foul called on them. Shut up and get off your high horse.

And yes they are a dirty team. That last foul was a retaliation for the tie up shortly before.

He should have. Especially after getting a T earlier.

What did he do?

Calm down, I'm just messing around. I get bored when we win by 100 points and it's not even close from the tip.

That last foul was ridiculous. I agree.

I'll slink off and let you enjoy your evening.

Happy Holidays!

so let them foul because they are losing ??? Uhh NO !!!!! if they commit them you call them end of story

[shockerfanmas]

Trust me, I'm a huge Shocker fan. I just get tired of reading about losing due to the refs.

Amen brotha! It gets old after a while. But that's fans for ya, what can you do? I've always said the day a team goes perfect from the field, gets every rebound, doesn't commit a turnover, gets every 50-50 ball and still loses because of some bad calls, then and only then will I ever say a ref cost a team a game. In other words, it'll never happen. There's always other reason. But.. you can't tell fans that, they see what they wanna see. Nice post!

Explain

[Stickboy46]

I seriously hope we cancel any future buy games with them.

What happened? Missed the game.

What animated words, the telecast showed GM and the Nevada coach doing the usual good game stuff. Was there words between assistants?

[shockerfanmas]

Yea he should have. I missed the severity when I typed that out. That coach has a lot to learn about college kids. He's used to NBA guys being grown men and not having to calm them down.

Still, they called some touchy fouls in the last 30 seconds that could have been ignored to get the game over with. I mean, 61 fouls total? Give me a break. 65 points were scored from the line.

How boring.

I get what you're saying, the problem with that theory is, if you don't call the first foul, then the fouls get harder and harder and harder, and then you've got an ugly situation on your hands. If a team is stupid enough to foul with 1.5 seconds left in a game they can't win, then that's on the coach. Any coach worth a grain of salt should have his team backing way off by then.

Dirty, trashy team. Started taking cheap shots at the end when down by 30+
