And Master is correct here. Jack's did play poorly in much of the 2nd half. I ended up slumped in my seat after many blown shots and watching the CBU lead climb to double digits.
The non call foul complaint is valid I believe but playing consistently better ball especially in the 2nd half would have had us on top.

Why not have one of our bigs down low to dish off to or rebound? Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but seemed like cajuste would be his man off the dribble and still was contested at the basket by one of their bigs.
Yep, that was our strategy. Foul their really bad free throw shooting big and get AJ to the line. It did work to get us back in the game. I thought we might be setting up AJ to pop it out to Jossell once they all collapsed on AJ, but never happened. We were going for the tie at home. In all my years, I have never seen a player slip when picking up a rolling ball to save time. Who knows what our final play was at that point. But playing for the foul on AJ would not have been my last play strategy. Probably would have brought Jimmy Chitwood around the swinging gate for the win.

Also, when was the last time the Jacks had a night of shooting 15 3 pointers?

I don't disagree with playing poorly in stretches, but we also scored 13 points in the last 3:40 of the game. So, let's just say the Jacks scored 10 points in that 7 minute stretch instead of 4 and the Jacks are up 6 late in the game. Do we just ignore the contact to Cajuste including a blow to the head?
Any fan should be incredulous about the non call which resulted in injury regardless of score. That's my point.

I do think we're seeing the dark side of the transfer portal, and that's how it's going to make it harder for Mid Majors to maintain any level of success. I've said this before but we became a top mid major because we had teams that grew together. When players are with each other for several seasons and not just one. Our players were molded into top tier players, not just coming in and being expected to perform at a championship level as a team.
Mid Majors are just gonna have a harder time bringing in talent that's immediately ready to compete. Don't get me wrong, we have some really good players that we got in the portal, but they definitely look like they need more time in the system to learn exactly how each other works and how the coaching staff wants them to play.

I could be wrong, but I believe Nana and AJ are out of eligibility.
I watched it multiple times also. Not 50, but several. I see it the same as you. AJ's injury seemed to be his left elbow. That's what he grabbed after his slip, and what he was holding going off the floor.nacluth said:
The time stamp for the replays on the ESPN+ is 2:14:45.
I've watched it 50 plus times and it's hard to tell. In real time it looks like AJ catches a forearm. In slo-mo it's less clear.

Coach K talked about the injured and sick players. There went the team depth that we were so happy about at the beginning of the year.
