Some kid threw a piece of pizza at my friend in the 2nd half. It smeared and soaked his face. The caused him to spill his pop all over himself
Count me among the one percent. Also never understood the need for people to announce they're leaving a message board. SEE YA!Pro tip: if you schedule teams that 99% of the ncaa fan base can’t tell you what conference they play in, make sure you beat them. See you next year Redbird fans
Was told by someone who was sitting there that the players came over unprovoked. Take it for what it's worth. Maybe there is some history there with the Missouri State transfers since we beat them in a hotly contested tilt last year.Side note, does anyone know what happened after the game when the NWST players seemed to be getting into it with our fans that were sitting court side?
I saw one of our fans (taller man in a red shirt if I remember correctly) that seemed extremely worked up. Not sure who started what but whatever the incident was, it looked terrible. The NWST players were going after some fans and saying a lot of things and I'm genuinely curious who the instigator was, what was said, etc.
I've seen some really ugly incidents between fans and players in the last few years and a few of the times, it was the fans that were completely out of line (and in some cases the fans were later banned from future events) where other times it was on the players.
Whatever it was, it needs to be addressed in my opinion.
I thought he should have definitely called a timeout after the block to get Burford back in, we would have had the ball with 58 seconds left and full shot clock to then get our point guard, leading scorer and floor general in to run a play. He was our leading scorer and had 5 assists to 1 turnover last night and really seeing him get comfortable is what I expected from him this year.I thought we should have called time out and put Burford back in the game when we got the defensive block. Sharp picks Luke's pocket and get the go ahead basket. We then put Bueford back in the game.
We had 2 timeouts and and called one when Lewis made his 3 ... not sure why.
I am kind of thinking some of this as well. I think he is taking the Non-conference as a learning experience to grow for the conference season. Fans may be upset but our non-conference was never going to get us an at-large NCAA birth. Pedon is learning and growing just as the players are.The loss sucks. No other way around it. However, I really appreciate Pedon's postgame comments. He takes accountability but is also real to where the team is at in the season/process. The reality is that this team was never going to compete for an at-large. The noncon (and really most games before January) at this level are opportunities to learn and grow as a team so you are playing your best basketball come March. Of course, you would like to learn what you need to clean up and do better as a team with a win, but it's not always going to turn out that way.
I'll share that during the comeback, the last couple minutes, RBA was louder than it has been in several years. Too bad the energy from the crowd wasn't there all game, but I suppose some could say that is on the players for not giving fans anything to get excited about.
This team could very well be one that feels more pressure at home than on the road. Maybe on the road, they can feel relaxed and just get into their game. Hopefully, that pays dividends in Cayman.
If you would've told me 3 weeks ago this team is 2-2. I think everyone on here would assume the two wins were at RBA. So....that's something different than past seasons...
In my opinion, that is where that tech to change the lead from 2 to 3 was huge. I think if we call a time-out with a 2 point deficit, we could possibly set up a better shot. I think if we call a timeout with a 3 point lead, Northwestern State has time to set up their defense and foul us before we get a 3 point lead.Not calling the timeout down 3 I was alright with that, I kind of like the scramble off of a rebound and go, Sandage had a couple good looks just couldn't get it to go down.
What I was thinking more so was the game was tied at 67 all with a minute left after the Liam block that Kasubke got the rebound on. Sharp steals it from Kasubke and converts 2 free throws with 58 seconds left and we are down 69-67. Burford got subbed out at 2:19 bc of the cramps. When the score was 67 all after the block and rebound on defense that's when the timeout should have been called. Tie game you can get Burford back in and then set up a play and your best guard was then brought in. I hope Pedon learns from those situations in the future and our team learns from those situations.In my opinion, that is where that tech to change the lead from 2 to 3 was huge. I think if we call a time-out with a 2 point deficit, we could possibly set up a better shot.

You piqued my curiosity...I just rewatched and it looks like the red called flop.Did they officially say the Sandage call was a flop? After seeing the replay, I thought they teched him for sticking his foot up and tripping their player.
Yet you felt the need to announce that you know the conferences they play in. Congrats on your low major knowledgeCount me among the one percent. Also never understood the need for people to announce they're leaving a message board. SEE YA!
