GDT: Jackrabbits vs Tommies 7pm FB&T Arena Midco/SLN

[OldHare]

Barlow is a dumbass and shouldn't be reffing a retirement home bridge tournament let alone a college basketball game.

The other guy with the shaved head was the worst of the bunch. He was finding many fouls that were near hits. The whole bunch allowed Minessale to create contact that gave Mors a flagrant 1. The second time against Hadnot, they went to the review and ended up calling it on Minessale. The Tommies all get theater credit in the summer as they learn to flop in a convincing fashion. Commissioner Fenton was in Brookings to watch this game. We can hope he watched enough to see the quality of refs in the league games.

Agree with many of the earlier comments on here.
A. St Thomas is an easy team to dislike.
B. They foul a TON, and get upset almost every time they get called
C. The 2nd and 3rd fouls on Cluff were BOTH total BS. Announcers called it out too. The third foul was BAD, but the second was borderline atrocious, Cluff had beaten everyone downcourt, was attempting to post up in the lane, and the dude guarding him had not only draped himself over him, but had wrapped an arm around Oscar, and when Oscar tried to pull his arm away... he just flopped and fell over, and they called a foul on Oscar. It was absolutely terrible. It was right about then, when Hendo got hot...and was talking to the official on the sideline, and even looked like he turned and yelled at the St Thomas bench at one point.
D. As soon as St. Thomas started getting called for the ticky tacky block calls that they were calling on the Jackrabbits, the game was over. They couldn't stop SDSU without fouling. (Same thing happened up at their place, they just got away with more.)
E. #14 got called once for wrapping his arm around Kalen, but he did it every time he drove to the hoop. I made a point of noticing.... he is an automatic offensive foul. He grabs with his off arm all the time.
F. #12 Dufalt, is hard working kid who is very undersized, but the officials let him get away with murder because of it. That kid fouls pretty much every possession.

We lost up there, by 1 point, on a game with a couple horrible calls late in the game (both on Oscar) and we had a chance to win at the end, and Mors made a shot after the horn.

In Brookings, SDSU wins by 16, and Cluff barely played.

I know who I consider to be the better team.

St Thomas can kick rocks. It's not only the way they play, it's how they complain when they get called for things. And then... the thing that REALLY makes me mad, is how the grab and claw and bump, and then if there is any Physical response by the opponent, how they flop and go down and act like they got run over by Isaiah Davis. If you want to be a physical team... be a physical team. Don't act like choir boys.

Sorry for the rant. They get under my skin.

People can complain about Kelly Pfeifer all they want, but the game last night shows why he refs the SLT title game every year. So much better than most of these clowns.

There's a reason Hendo wants him reffing that game.

I was watching #1 Blue get away with travels in the second half. This must be a call like the 3 second violation as it is called very inconsistently. Blue was sliding the pivot foot many times catch and then dribble.

AMEN to all of this! Many of them would fit in well on a pro soccer team with their flopping & whining.

Owen Larson with a double-double with career highs in points and rebounds! Outstanding! Wilkinson was also impressive in Cluff's absence. Garry had one of his best games as a Jackrabbit. Like others have said, there were solid contributions from a lot of players like Hadnot and Jackson. Such a fun group to watch. In the second half the team kept making the extra pass time after time to get a wide open three.

Need to figure out how to get out of the blocks quicker but that second half was scary good!

SUPERBUNNY

I loved the attack mode the offense went into for the 2nd half. They were getting annoyed with the antics of st Thomas but overcame it in the 2nd half and the last 10 minutes were a showing of what this teams potential is.

I noticed Hendo and their coaching staff peacefully “kissing and making up” in the line after the game. I believe there were words between coaches during a heated stretch and it was good that they are both professional enough to clear the air after.

We are so blessed with our coaching staff in the way they lead our team and the way they carry themselves. Pretty special - not like that everywhere.
