This officiating job was a fucking disgrace

That's being too generous.

I don't blame our defense much for the otherworldly heater Sandfort went on. He made several insane shots. It still shouldn't have been enough.

He wasn't even the top scorer.

Dix had a career high. (31)

Also, I assume the board is aware there were two Sandforts out there? Little brother was 3-3 from 3 pt land too.

Yes I am aware of both. Payton went on the heater. Did you watch the game?

Yes.

As someone said earlier, Cockeye lives and dies by the 3 and out defense forces teams to shoot the three. If we are being honest, shooting 50% from the free throw line and missing layups in the second half cost us the game.

 

[iruletheskool]

Yes.

I don't know that I have ever seen a heater like that in a basketball game. Couldn't miss.

The one time he did they gave him a foul even though zero contact 😀

SIAP. The Sandforts and Dix is everything we hope Essegian should be (future Frager and Janowski too). Essegian has flashes of it but can just disappear as well

Their guy made 1 shot last game and none before half last night

When he was on the bench in the first half, we made a nice run before giving it back in the last few minutes. From the few games I've seen this year, our team is really streaky either way.

And he had that 3 from the top of the key for his 2nd make I think that bounced around 4 times before finally falling in. I think that one cut it to 7, if he doesn’t get that bounce he doesn’t go nuclear and we probably win by double digits.

Yup. It was an absolute chuck from deep and rolled around and somehow fell in. Once that went in... it was on.

Or Williams not touching Sanfort on a 3 and getting called for a foul.

Or Berke getting body slammed and called a jump ball.

That Berke play I felt like hasn't gotten enough shine like some of the other atrocious calls. The Cockeye kid suplexed him

Payton Sandfort at halftime in the shitter.

Our defense dared Cockeye to make 3's and they did. Simple as that. They miss the wide open looks from 3 like other teams have (Pickle Smoochers, Indiana, UCLA) we win by 10+. That's how she goes.

Most of them were not wide open looks but yeah

I agree Sandfort made a lot of tough ones on his heater instead of passing for a better look from 3.

The other games they just missed a lot of open 3's. Chance Loenser is willing to take and it's worked so far minus our 3 losses. I like the scheme with our personnel.

It was definitely a gut punch loss, similar to many of the road losses last year. Hopefully they can bounce back like last year. Its college basketball, and weird things happen. I mean, look at Tennessee last night. They were the #1 team and got blown out by 30 on the road.
