That finish almost bit us in the butt. They were fouling us as we called that late timeout. Why call a timeout when our in-bounding of the ball this year has been atrocious.
This. I do not understand why he has Maggie taking the ball out so often. She’s flirted with 5 sec SO many times this year already.
Man, just the last few months in ISU athletics, I was positive OSU was gonna hit a shot at the end. Awesome win. Everybody needed that.
Now that I have recovered (slightly) from my heart attack, wasn't the greatest by far the best game but they fought back and kept grinding. To me Thurman *even though she missed several bunnies* and Camber *defense* are the winners here.
I say this every game - I don't know if she thinks it has to be perfect, or the other players are just not moving as they should be.
When Mack went down and OSU lost a 20 pt 11 rb and 6 blocks a game player I thought we might win by double figures but OSU was pretty scrappy on defense which statistically hasn't been their jam in league play so far. They had good defense stats overall (but NC wimp schedules can be misleading at times) and showed it at times today so we were able to beat a team with a defensive pulse which was good.
So I went back and watched that 5 second. It was five swishes from the refs arm but they were fast and Bill was asking for a timeout next to the other ref.
I went back and watched this as well and i have never seen a ref count so fast in my life. He looked like he was TRYING to get to 5. Thank god that didn't cost us.
Impossible to tell when the ref handed us the ball because the camera work didn't show that. But I tried to time it several times with a stop watch and came up with about exactly five seconds on average. So may or may not have been a bad call.
It was one swish then a change in angle. I counted that as one and then there was 4 more with the last one being the 5 call.
Have you watched our out of bounds plays?? Our players never run hard anywhere. They jog. They never sprint to an open space, ever. They do not go HARD off of screens. Its pretty darn hard to pass it to someone when all they do is amble around. And, they need to grab the ball with two hands!! Geez.
Per this post and others I almost never see a TRUE 5 second call. They are really 7+ seconds but that one was fast and maybe a true 5 seconds. As many others have posted IMO Maggie tries to make the perfect pass to the first person CBF wants the ball to go to. This has caused the problems.
