Pick foul on Reese was more flagrant

[Ruthinking]

I thought that when Reese fouled McConnell on the pick, it was more flagrant than the one they called 2 possessions later. AND, they didn't review it!!!.. His elbow and arm raised and pushed McConnell to the floor.

Did anyone else see it that way???

 

[Scangg]

They should have reviewed it. Definitely a cheap shot. Would like to have seen more camera angles

Reese seemed unnecessarily chippy way before that, too. Not sure why but he got riled up early on in the game.

We got to him, we put that dudes brain into a blender tonight

 

[SirPerceval]

All the guy did on offense was run around throwing picks.

 

[Pdabs]

Gotta give it to Paul, he’s really matured. Last year maybe, two is ago, for sure he would have reacted differently after that hard foul.

 

[Scangg]

He also slammed into Cam after a FT heading into a TO

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Reese was chirping all night …not surprised

Agree. But thought they were both flagrant.

Jellied him to a pulp

His sister Angel is a head case as well. I think she considered RU. Landed at Maryland, and think she might have transferred to LSU.

Live, I thought so too - haven't watched the replay. And the one on Paul, I think, was more for cumulative hard fouls on breakaways, sending a message that these were dangerous plays by MD (not that the one on Paul was so bad, by itself - again, haven't seen a reply though).

 

[Joey Bacala]

Reese is a punk thug. He should've been ejected for that shot.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Live I thought the pick was awful. On replay at the RAC it didn’t look as bad.

 

[bethlehemfan]

The foul on mulcahy watching the replay was very dangerous. Seems like a thing with Willard.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

hey, at least no one on Maryland gently reached for a player's waist for .3 seconds and slightly slowed him down.

now THAT would have been flagrent!!

Because we made him our b*tch.

 

[BigEastPhil]

At start of game, Reese and Cliff were jawing. Reese played quite dirty a la his pick against Caleb and flagrant on Paul.
Paul did get a little revenge with a somewhat devious backside pick to Reese.

 

[pmvon]

The foul on McConnell should have led them to call a 2 on the mulcahy play. It qualified on a standalone basis but the other foul wasn’t that much before it and then should have realized that Reese is a dangerous dbag.

 

[Saint Puppy]

Little irresponsible for Willard to be playing him - Reese was not in a good headspace tonight (don’t watch enough to know if this is the norm) and he really could have hurt someone. Can’t see Pike playing someone like that - there’s a difference between being edgy and being dangerous.

 

[OldManRiver]

I think it all started before the flagrant with McConnel.
Reese slapped McConnel's hand before an inbounds...McConnel gestured to the ref...but, got no respect.
I don't know if Reese and McConnel had words before that or something.
I think the ref's could have done something prior to Reese's eruptions...we got lucky our guys didn't get hurt.

Willard in postgame was happy Reese was playing aggressive and had regained “form”. I didn’t think he appropriately called out how bad and dangerous that foul was.

Meh, that is a "flagrant" but for a different reason. What they used to call intentional foul.

no. It was a hard foul....borderline Flagrant 1, nothing more.

Think about that play if it were a Rutgers player committing a foul.

Mulcahy for a week and a half last year.

 

[rufeelinit]

I thought the foul on Paul was worthy of a flagrant 2 regardless of any other play prior. It looked a lot worse from the under the basket angle versus the trailing view.

 

[Plum Street]

Should have been a flagarant 2 the foul on Paul .
These refs are so bad even with replay

That was beyond a hard foul. He essentially clothes lined him.

Announcers predicted Reese would lose it at some point. Then he did. In another thread I predicted he'll be involved in an on court fight before years end. Except for his fouls he was pretty much invisible last night.

 

[Scangg]

You can't just wind up and club someone in the head even if you get the ball. He knew what he was doing

He hit is head, but went clearly for the ball. We've seen clotheslines, but this wasnt one of them.

You really think his intent wasn't to block the shot

 

[Saint Puppy]

When I first saw it I felt he went for the ball too, and that the clothesline was an unintentional part of a hard play. Now looking at who did it, and his behavior through the whole game - I'm now pretty much 100% sure it was intentional and that he was looking to hurt someone.

 

[Saint Puppy]

I think his intent was to get the ball, but also to clothesline - both things can be true. Going for the ball helps to cover up the clothesline, but I am convinced his ultimate goal was to clothesline. He was overly aggressive and playing angry. I think it's obvious the kid has much bigger issues than basketball, and it is the university's responsibility to help him - should not have been on the floor last night.

 

[thegock]

If the clothesline isn't an F2, then what is?

 

[pmvon]

It was obviously too aggressive. There was zero hold back.

 

[bethlehemfan]

You need to see the replay from behind the play green. He grabbed Paul’s shoulder with his right hand before he clobbered him with his left. That was a mugging plain and simple. From where I sat live I thought the same but you need to watch the replay. Really dangerous and inexcusable.

nope.
go back... Reese set a bad screen just before the actual foul on Caleb.. and didn't like how McConnell got around him.. so 3 seconds later as McConnel came back across the key, Reese 100% intentionally stepped in with the shoulder and followed with the elbow.. that should have been flagrant Not common.

then the one on Paul... ejection.

it's not even close - it was brewing..

it was NOT a "hard foul". it was an intentional mugging disguised as a hard foul for those not willing to pay attention.

We’ve seen this before from Willard teams.

you have to go back to 14:55 on the clock and watch the ENTIRE series of plays that led up to what happened.

was "hoping to block the shot" somewhere on his list of 6 things he was trying to do"? Sure.

but, it wasn't #1 or even #2.

 

[rubaseball78]

No, his intent was to stop him from scoring. He did not try to avoid contact.
