The guy blew by Q like he wasn’t even there. He could have done a much better job of making sure he got a foul call. What he did was awful and damn near cost us the game. Especially after his turnover up 4 with 25 seconds left
Not the first time he's given up a big 3 like that at the end of the game. If he switches to Vandy's guy at the buzzer he probably misses that game winner. Then we aren't forcing ourselves to win out like we are now.
You can't say with a straight face that you haven't seen that called a foul ALOT. Come on, man. Even your boy Liverpool said he grabbed him? What else did you want him to do? Give him a reach- around? aKA risk am intentional foul?
He did was he was supposed to do. And, guess what? We won. If he did more, we risk losing and this board imploding.
So risk an intentional foul? Got it.
Tell me the last time you saw a guy hockey check someone in that scenario. I'll wait...
Especially 30 feet from the basket. You think he got "blew by?" Trying to set your feet a take charge in that scenario would have been even worse.
Hockey check? No. Step in front of him, don't let him run past you and grab his hips. It's called a blocking foul. Not uncommon. I really don't see how anyone thinks that is good defense. The refs weren't gonna call that hand checking stuff at the end with us up by 3.
He wasn't blown by. He just failed to guard him. He reached for him when he went by. And no not a charge, just saying stepping in front of the ball handler isn't going to get you an intentional foul. Don't get so hurt. We aren't saying he's a terrible player. It is just that his defense almost lost us another critical game.
If he stayed in front of him, it’s a common blocking foul- not intentional.
