Missouri State at Evansville - 2/25

[Ace Dad]

Holmes with a 3 to tie game. 1 sec left.

I still don't understand why coaches don't have the players foul intentionally with a 3-point lead in the last few seconds of a game.

Coach Lusk tried.

Yes it seems pretty well established that was his order. The players just didn't carry it out for whatever reason.

Was Bizoukas ill or something? Knowing that he's been MSU's starting PG all season and that he didn't start today. Plus, his rather anemic stat line from today's game:
14 minutes
5 fouls
3 assists
0 points
0 rebounds

Biz has been playing worse and worse. Not to mention he brings 0 threat to score so teams can double Weems

Another perspective: His play did not change. Teams adjusted to him. Biz was a newcomer to the Valley (one year only) and teams were not sure how he played early on.

Can anybody clarify what exactly happened with Gulley in OT? They announced that he committed his fifth foul, but he never left the game. I assume it must have been a mix-up, but they never announced a correction, nor did they change the scoreboard. ESPN box score has him listed as having 4 PFs, but their play-by-play lists 5 fouls for him. After appearing to have fouled out, he hit a big three that tied the game.

Anyone have any clarification on that?

Rematch.. good thing we have been saving our game for St. Louis

No doubt, based on the 39 "its freakin Evansville" or "just the Aces" views from the Bear Nation. We will respect you as a worthy opponent next Friday and will not look past you.

Just ole Evansville...........................

Still fighting for respect I see... Perceptions take more than a year to change.

I went back and reviewed the official scoring on the UE basketball web page and the box score summary shows only 4 fouls. However, I looked at the play-by-play and counted 5 with the last one being at :14 in OT. He made a shot after that which might have been the basis of a protest if we had lost.

I think you might have answered your own question.
