wow...Simmons with a 5 second call...Turnover. Time out PU

13 seconds to go and back to back turnovers on the Bucks...

 

[Jake]

Five fucking seconds...come on.

 

[hdcolumbus]

WTF???

 

[Mike80]

gotta get some movement on the offensive end when you are in a set like that. IT looked like everyone was standing around a bit...

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

He was making movement to the hoop. Fucking bullshit.

Call a handcheck please. Diebler was getting abused by Kramer there.

#$%Damnit Simmons, know the situation. A 3 here will be heartbreaking after how well we've played this first half after the turnover barrage.

 

[BB73]

Simmons called for 5 seconds dribbling out high. Nobody came to help him out., and he didn't get separation.

I hate the 5-second call. There's a shot clock, it's not needed.

thats BS....ref on short side of the court extended his arms signifying the 5 second count was over. The official on the far-side kept the count going. Jeremie saw the short-side official restart the count.

Horrible job by the officials on that one.

 

[BearBuck27]

Halftime. Bucks up 30-25...closing the half on a 8-1 run.

 

[PlanetFrnd]

Great half by the bucks!

 

[BB73]

Purdue misses 3 shots in the last few seconds.

Halftime, 30-25.

 

[buckeyes_rock]

3 chances for PU to close the half...nothing fell down though...OSU by 5

 

[Jake]

Five point lead at the half! All things considered, I'll take it.

Be a little smarter with the ball in the second half and we'll have a great shot to win it. :)

I hate the 5-second call. There's a shot clock, it's not needed.

I agree. It's subjective as hell and outdated with the shot clock. No one can play "four corners" any more.

Guys, go back and watch Thad's reaction on the 5 second call. An official on the court gave the signifying hand motion of a new 5 second count. When an official extends his arms like he's about to give a hug, it means there isn't a count going on, and when the defender moves back in to guarding distance, the count restarts.

One official kept the count, but Jeremie took his dribble to the other side of the court where an official started a new count. It was a 5 second call but I can't fault Jeremie for it. The official who DID NOT make the call butchered it by starting a new count giving Jeremie a false sense of time.

Thad wasn't happy.
