Leave Q on the bench

Q didn't give up the three at the end of the game, though.

well- yeah he did. When Peters fell- it was up to him to stop the ball. He didnt nor did he foul. We were still fine because SC only had 4 players on the offensive end because the guy that threw the ball in hadnt made it up the court. It's a simple rotation and he blew it.

He fouled him. The refs just blew the call, yet they called a touch fall on Carter and the guy shooting the 3

Y'all need to give Q a break. He is what he is- a solid player that makes us good.

Edit to add:
You can say he should have fouled him "harder," but then you risk an intentional foul and he did enough to get what was called a foul all day. Can't fault him for doing his job.

He didnt foul him- the ref didnt call it.

And I certainly agree with that part of your post

Read my edit. What else was he supposed to do? Intentionally foul him? Could you imagine the backlash on this board if that happened?

Not to mention, what if the guy threw up a shot? Then there's a risk of a 4 point play.

He did his job. Why are you hating? Not his fault the ref blew the call.

Unless you have a bone to pick.

That no call on the foul was on the referee. Q did more than enough to get a foul called, but SEC refs are what they are.

Exactly.

[Liverpooldawg]

His 6 turnovers, defensive lapses, and getting his shot swatted damn near got us beat also. Wright deserves a little more time

Yep.

Had he done the same thing from in FRONT of the offensive player, the call would have been made. He was lazy and it damn near cost us the game.

His 6 steals responsible for and 7-8 from the line were big. Pluses outweigh the minuses.

Q is what he is, a solid player. Not some super star. But the hate he gets on here is often unwarranted.

And I agree Wright needs more time.

[confucius say]

Exactly.

It was a foul. The announcers said as much and so did the studio guys during the highlights.

No shit. That's why I said "exactly". But, hey, let's give Eli Wright the ball in crunch time so he can commit an intentional foul and hit clutch shots (cause, you know, he's done it before LOL).

With the way he did it, had it been called it would have HAD to have been called an intentional foul. Had it been called they beat us. All he had to do is get in front of him and bump him. He had position. What he did was either dumb or lazy, or both. We were lucky it DIDN'T get called.

Are you serious?

So, you have to get in position and take a charge to get someone to the line in the late minutes? Like, have you watched basketball?

[Goldendawg]

Played basketball in HS, have watched all my life, but not a coach like some of you guys. Question, why do we put no rebounders on the O end when we are barely up with less than 6 or so seconds left and we have a 2 to 3 point lead (like against Vandy and today)? Looks like we might steal a rebound on a miss or at least slow them down a couple of seconds as they try to rush down the court for the last shot. Maybe we could at least find our man to matchup on D. We seem to have had a tough time getting into position on D in these situations as the other 4 players try to find their man and play D waiting at the other end. Your expertise and opinions appreciated.

He grabbed him as he was going by and made no effort to go for the ball. Had it been called the only call that could have been made was an intentional foul.

I think what Howland is thinking is have 5 guys down the court so there?s no way they out run us. I wouldn?t mind Lamar/ Nick guarding the ball handler to run time off, if that makes any sense.

ETA: The problem with this is- Q got beat in regulation on that last play, still

he only had 4 steals- which is still good

NEWSFLASH: that's a foul that sends the other team to the line 90% of the time.

You literally just said "he grabbed him"

Like WTF?

[stalkingpoon]

He didn't have a great game, but he has experience and he fills the stat sheet. Def not the most talented, but gets the job done. Would do much better if he got his head out of his ass and played defense and stopped trying to do too much on offense.
