To keep it fair. Here is the next moment of Corey trying to slide by. Notice the player is falling back now and Corey’s body is above him. Even if you feel like he slid by, no way you can say his left leg is not knocking the guy backwards from his good position.
We aren’t losing rankings if we take care of business Sunday and beat Wichita State double digits like we should. This game didn’t change the season. It gave us a loss on the road to a good team that we can beat when we see them again.
And then the Temple player on the other end pushing off even worse than Corey, knocking Jarreau down, not getting called for it, and draining a three hurt as well.
He didn’t ride him down like I original said but watching the video over and over, you see the force of his left leg hitting the body before Davis twists to the side.
We had it down to 1 with 2 minutes to go. Armoni made a bad defensively play with a foul and then a bad pass after the free throws. That coming a couple minutes off of a missed 3 and a point blank jumper. If Armoni doesn’t fall apart the last 5 minutes, it never comes down to that call. Love the kid but it wasn’t his game.
The most brutal part of that, is just moments later, Alton bodies Jarreau to the ground and then hits a wide open 3. If they call the offensive foul there, then we lose no momentum.
That was the stretch where the officiating swung the game. The tech on Brooks I was waiting for after the way he hung on the rim. The one on CKS and the offensive foul on Davis were abysmal.
It wasn’t so much as the 2 points off the technical as to how much it changed the game. We had gained control, then came the technicals and the ticky calls. The offensive foul on Corey was one of the worst I’ve ever seen. What also made it an obvious one-sided deal was the lateness of some of the whistles
