That DePaul can’t field a competitive team is one of the real mysteries in college basketball. Fertile ground for talent. The lure of a bid city and recently built facilities should create a competitive if not dominant program. Unbelievable.
Rough night in the Mountain West. Colorado State and New Mexico go down. San Diego State barely won.
Box score looks good for him. Finished with 12 points on 3 of 5 field goals and 5 of 6 free throws in 24 minutes.
It is funny how different college football and college basketball are. In football you have the same handful of teams dominating every year. In basketball there are teams you can count on to be good most years but there are very few teams that are truly dominant these days. Lots of parity in basketball, not a ton in football.
The basketball arena is nice, except its not on campus, parking by McCormick Place is a bear.
Where about is Chicago State located? (I’m always just so amazed they are able to stay D1)
Sometimes they wear jerseys that say “Southside” instead of Chicago St. So, I’m guessing they’re in the baddest part of town.
They are joining it. They must have really spent the money on travel when they were in the WAC
south side, in the roseland area (which is where Styx got started). new stadium seats about 7000, campus of about 2000 students
4:16 in the blessed AM! You, sir, are outdoing yourself this year.
Oh, I was out on the streets looking for a fix and figured I’d check in on Gopherhole. (Joking)
Far Southside of Chicago, neighborhood very sketch.
I didn’t watch the SDS game. But I can clarify the three second rules based on my 33 years experience as a high school official and 12 years D2 and D3 official. If a Player is leaving the lane you don’t whistle him for a 3 second violation. If he has received the ball in the lane and is at 3 seconds but makes a move to shoot that’s ok. But in the previous example if he passes instead of shoots while still in the lane that is a violation. Having a heel on the lane line is unlikely to be called because it doesn’t give an advantage. Most officials are patient with the 3 second call. That doesn’t cover everything but some of the most obvious examples.
Ok, Mr Bobek, what’s your interpretation of what happened with the basket last game? If you don’t feel like it explaining it, I understand.
Appreciate the reply. I only commented because it was so egregious. I typically am not looking for that while watching a game like SDS/San Jose, but I noticed it on one play, and when they showed the replay, I was thinking "Oh, I guess it's not that bad, it only looks like 6 seconds because of the slo-mo replay. Then it hit me that the replay was in regular speed, so I started paying closer attention to LeDee. There were at least 3 times that he was in the lane, both feet on the paint, not straddling or anything, holding off his defender and calling for the ball for at least 5 seconds, and then he got the ball, would work down lower in the lane and take a shot. I simply can't believe it was not called once. Or maybe I don't understand the rule.
If you are referring to the basket interference none call, that was a badly missed call. These referees are very experienced. There is no excuse at this level! I’m sure their evaluation was downgraded by their supervisor because of that missed call, which can impact later assignments.
Thank you for the answer. Appreciated.
Nits peed it away giving up a 15-0 run midway through the second half.
Done. Miss State holds on. If Kansas loses, four of top five go down in two nights.
4/5 for 14
