SignUp Now!This game was also far and away their largest loss in conference play. Scanning through the scores, it looks like every other loss was by 3-12 points.I think our 71 points tonight is the second-most Notre Dame has allowed in 11 conference games this year (Miami had 73). And we left a ton of points at the foul line.
He learned from the best (Brad Stevens). No one was more of a master at ruining the sport until Tony Bennett came along.Big takeaway is that the new Notre Dame coach is making games against Notre Dame disgusting and unwatchable. Which is fine, because this conference and this sport are obviously thriving anyway!
I've complained about this for years. Travels are NEVER called on breakaways. If you watch players' feet, I would estimate that there's a travel in that situation maybe 30% of the time.lol that’s awesome. Foster did get away with a Giannis-level travel on that one.
In Flip's case, they know he's going to turn it over anyway.Honestly, the most glaring things that are missed to me are when guys like Bacot and Flip move their pivot multiple times while faking in the post. That creates more of a competitive advantage than the misses on breakaways, IMO.
I'm bothered by that too. But I would absolutely disagree that it creates more of an advantage. A breakaway is like a 90% shot if you don't travel. And this is anecdotal, but I think a travel happens there at least as often.Honestly, the most glaring things that are missed to me are when guys like Bacot and Flip move their pivot multiple times while faking in the post.

Oh, I totally agree on the percentage; I just think that unless the defender is right there and reaching low rather than high, the offensive players doesn't gain anything from the extra step itself.But I would absolutely disagree that it creates more of an advantage.

AmazingAlmost as good as this one.Stewart's dunk was probably the best dunk all season, almost Zionesque.

That's true, but if whistled you're taking away a more surefire made shot. Whereas even if a player gets to move his pivot foot in the post, he's still not guaranteed to score.Oh, I totally agree on the percentage; I just think that unless the defender is right there and reaching low rather than high, the offensive players doesn't gain anything from the extra step itself.But I would absolutely disagree that it creates more of an advantage.

Total hot take here, but I think he's playing through some sort of injury. He can move laterally okay, but when he runs the floor, he kind of waddles. That's different from the way he moved last year (he was just faster), but I think also different from the beginning of this season.Flip’s stats are substantially better outside of FT shooting, but he just seems so much worse than last year. unenjoayble to watch.
