Subject: Re: New rules needed Author: GGaff [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:52:26 01/18/09 Sun In reply to: Brian 's message, "New rules needed" on 10:43:21 01/18/09 Sun It did make for a long finish. However, if Marist just hit their first five or six free throws after they resorted to it, Siena would have packed it in. They wasted no time with quick passes either. They waited to get fouled. One break out layup would have ended the game with a minute to go. The other thing. They didn't force Siena to use clock. They scored way too quickly 5 or six times. If I see another guy sag on a penetrator to leave an uncontested three I'm gonna puke. If it was that easy to score on a contested drive, why doesn't Devezin average 30 a game?? All teams do it. If they make a contested layup, it's only worth two. An uncontested three is easier than a contested drive. I could average 15 a game if I'm given the looks Downey had.

[> Subject: Brian does not believe this, I think this is a trick:) Author: Yankee [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:57:46 01/18/09 Sun Siena earned the win. Marist will use the bad free throw misses as a learning experience.

[> [> Subject: Marist was outscored 23-9 in the final 3:26 on Thursday. Author: Oldfox [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:40:22 01/18/09 Sun They had held Siena to 53 points to that point. Siena ends up with 76 points at the end of regulation and Marist misses 9 freebies during the same stretch. Make 4 of those and Marist wins by 10 because Siena isn't streaking down the court with the defensive rebound in a helter-skelter situation. It all played into Siena's strength on offense, which Marist had effectively negated up to that point. Regarding the need for a rule change. As the Marist meltdown was becoming evident, Dean Darling and Steve Eggink mentioned that a rule change had been discussed in NCAA circles that would award the ball to the fouled team ofter the shots. However it wouldn't have helped Marist because the shooter would have to make both for their team to retain posession. Frankly, I like it the way it is because it keeps the full 40 minutes of the game in play.
