Re: ASU @ Wofford Game Thread
I guess a win is a win, but Wofford didn't score during the last 7 minutes of the game. In their last 9 possessions Wofford missed 4 lay ups, turned the ball over 3 times and their leading scorer missed 2 wide open looks from 15 feet. Feels like more of a gift than a win.

Re: ASU @ Wofford Game Thread
It was ugly, no question about it. Wofford missed several opportunities to take a lead and we missed several chances to extend the deficit.Kgfish wrote:I guess a win is a win, but Wofford didn't score during the last 7 minutes of the game.

However, the play-by-play will show 4 missed lay-ups but that is a bit misleading because the last 3 were blocked by Healy, Canty and Baskin. Baskin's block with 4 seconds left saved the game for us. There is no doubt that they made some unforced errors as well but after seeing us give away games to Duquese and Western, it is nice to be on the other end.

The 3 officials in Tuesday's game have all called Final Fours and 2 of the 3 have worked multiple National Titles. I'm sure asumike knows more about officiating than they do.

That being said, even good officials miss calls and it didn't seem like the calls were very consistent in the second half. At one point, after what I saw as a fairly blatant hack was missed, Capel made a comment to Ted Valentine (who is a great official, BTW) who replied "not my call, I had nothing to do with that", which is as close to "don't blame me, HE screwed it up" as you'll ever get from an official.
You have to play extremely clean basketball to only commit 2 team fouls in 19:56 of game time and from where I was sitting, Wofford was playing every bit as physical as we were. Just the way it goes, they are human as well and sometimes it doesn't go your way.
Either way, we played through it and hung on for a W on the road and if we'd lost, it would not have been because of the officiating. I will gladly take the wins, no matter how they come.
