1) great win, super effort, nice finish.
2) Geo. Please see the difference in your game when you start inside out. Your drives, mid-range, defense all feed your game. Threes in rythem.
3) For God's sake even the announcers are calling on Pike to get a technical now. He's getting abused by the refs like a frosh walk-on. Standing up for your team is part of the gig.
4) so nice to see the last plays of taking what the team gave you...aggressive vs. Holding the ball, Mac assertive. Team ball wins!

We have players now. We just have to play our best as individuals while together as a team. That's on Pike.

Absolutely. You do it cause you've just had enough, cause you need to fire up your team , the crowd, or change the call cycle. It has its place.

some brutal calls tonight. but in a close game I get why Pike doesn't get the T

Yes, it depends on the time, score, and position in game. Absolutely.
It's clearly a coaching call if and when. But in 100 games give or take I think he has 1.

I'd love to see his numbers vs. Bannon and Rice lol.

LOVED THE COMMENT THAT PLAYING RU'S DEFENCE IS LIKE " A FORTY MINUTE ROOT CANAL".

Pike pleaded with officials and got a makeup call on the next possession.

Maybe, just maybe, it is better for a team to move on from bad calls and not get distracted worrying about how they are getting hosed.
