If they shuffle one foot an inch on a pump fake it's a travel every time. If they pick their pivot foot up and move it around multiple times or take 4 steps on the way to the basket, no whistle. Ever.

Ingram isn't worthless, but he is just about the most mediocre player we'll see. I don't expect him to take a big step next year.

Hell we actually got good execution on that final play. I guess given how we've been switching between W's and L's for several games in a row we have to be good with this result so far.

Yeah I hate it. These refs look for specific body language to call travels. And it's baffling. Watch their damn feet.

breaking an alltime season record just over half way through a season at a school that was played hoops for a 100 years is impressive

HERBERT!

but those turnovers/travels are brutal...

We need to clean the fricking turnovers up. I swear Herb gets the same pump fake travel in every game and Petty cant dribble around people without losing the ball.

Yeah, Ingram just is what he is. His only notable skill is knowing how to draw contact around the basket, which is nothing to turn your nose up at, but he's just never going to be a well rounded player.

Key has been great lately. Not only hitting open shots, but driving the ball, playing good defense, and making smart passes.

The travels are nonsense. I know I've stated it twice but that frustrates 'e more than anything. These refs call you for a travel if you try to sell a good pump fake 50% of the time

This thread is all over the place. Can we decide who is shite and who isn't haha.

If you shuffle or take a drop step during a pump, you're probably going to be called. If you're going to take a pump and drive you need to go to the floor with the ball as part of your first step.

But the thing is they are catching and pumping then dribbling. Unless the player is all our of wack and just shuffling everywhere that rarely should be called as a travel.

And the first dribble is usually simultaneous with the first step

We do need a hot and cold list for this team.

Braxton Key is no longer cold, but he was damn near icy a month ago.

Big shot by Petty before the break.

Thought we played pretty well for the first 15 minutes. Last 5 were rough.

Key has been playing great. He looks comfortable finally.

Honestly think this is the key to the rest of the season (no pun intended) and a possible tourney run. He adds a ton offensively with his overall game when he is playing well. Can spread everything, can post up smaller defenders, can get into the lane and pass well. Huge to get him back.

What was Key's last name when he was originally being recruited? I remember he changed it but couldn't remember the original.

yea that Petty 3 was huge.

Come out fast the first 4 minutes. I have to think they'll pack it in if we can make another big run.
