Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Biggest choke in sports you’ve seen since....?

Pats vs Falcons? Warriors 3-1 lead?

This ranks as worst...That was pathetic. They literally threw the ball straight to a Duke player 5-6 times.

 

[Rishvol]

Kentucky fans must be really mad. Can’t review a call and they lose but a call gets reviewed and Duke wins. Tough night.

I'd be livid

 

[Brillovol]

Sorry fellas

 

[BearCat204]

The restricted area rule seems dumb and arbitrary. Duke player basically gets rewarded for being completely out of control simply because somebody's heel was partially on a line of paint. What is the point of that rule?

Do you remember basketball before the restricted area was brought in?

It is a horrible rule that rewards an out of control player

Grant and Bone-man would never let us choke like that.

 

[LA Vol]

The narrative is going to be Duke's epic comeback instead of Louisville's massive choke. Will be spun as a positive to bolster Duke's resume.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Once I saw the VolTwitter taunting Dukies I knew it was coming.

Can’t mess with mojo, comes back to bite you in the rear, ever single time. Dang.

Not to mention the game had 6 minutes left up 20. Most chokes atleast happen longer than a blink of an eye

 

[engineerVOL]

Man...
That was all time.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Grant and Bone-man would never let us choke like that.

Our guards would have been able to take care of the ball.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Coach K can rot in hell

No way we get rattled like that. Bone, Bowden and Turner would have destroyed that press.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Man...
That was all time.

It literally was. It was like pausing the game, switching controller over to the other team and deliberately turning the ball over to let the other team get back in the game.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Coach K can rot in hell

good lord man

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Man...
That was all time...choke job

What’s the problem with that? Is it going to affect the Vols? Are our guys gonna be at a disadvantage now because Duke gonna be loved more? Duke wining this game has got zero to do with us so I really don’t understand why some are looking at this as some kind of loss for us. Let them think they are the best in the country.

 

[Aesius]

One game doesn't make a season. I would take Chris Mack as UT's coach in a second if we didn't have Rick Barnes. The players choked this game, not him

Whose job is it to make sure his players don't choke in a situation like that? That was a piss poor coaching job and you know it.

Best description of what happened

Like I’ve said before, new to watching BB, can you explain this ruling to me? Would be grateful.

 

[tn88volfan]

Coach K looks like that fish thats always stuck to the side of my aquarium

 

[Smokey123]

Never understood why some get so invested in other teams games when they’re irrelevant to us.

UT keeps winning and it doesn’t matter, who tf cares what espn focuses on

I for one, enjoy watching entertaining basketball

 

[SamRebel35]

Like I’ve said before, new to watching BB, can you explain this ruling to me? Would be grateful.

If the defender is in the little semi-circle under the basket and draws a charge, it actually isn't a charge, it is instead a blocking foul.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Duke was aggresively full court pressing and Louisville only got 5 ft, making 4.

Duke got 13 fts making 11..

Refs earned their pay..
