You know the sad part? If Russel had a legitimate inside presence to take some of the heat off of him, his skill set alone would put this team into the top 10 legitimately.

Is it automatically goal tending if the ball goes off glass because that ball was still traveling up when it was blocked?

Yep, it's goaltending if it already hit the glass no matter if it's traveling up or down. We somehow got away with two in the same game.

The second one wasn't goaltending; Thompson knocked the ball off the glass, rather than blocking it after it had banked.

Had to prove this to myself. This is from the NCAA rulebook:

Section 34. Goaltending
...
Art. 3.
When the entire ball is above the level of the ring during a field-goal
try and contacts the backboard, it is considered to be on its downward flight.
In such a case, it is goaltending when the ball is touched by a player.

The ball was not above the level of the rim when it contacted the backboard, but did continue up where Scott blocked it before it started its descent. Not goaltending in my opinion.

Not what I saw, but agree to disagree.

 

[DZ83CK]

Aside from the last minute when both teams did almost everything wrong, this was the best played OSU-NW game in quite some time. No more of the stall ball for 20 seconds every possession from the Wildcats, they finally play some decent basketball.

Damn you, Jahlil Okafor!!!

Seriously, Okafor picked playing with Tyus Jones over D'Angelo Russell? What an idiot. Coach K and his truckload of black hair dye.
