It should not make a difference either way. If a sane person watched the game we did not get out hustled.
I given your most recent post I will de-escalate this discussion?

I know you both and this back in forth is hilarious to me knowing your two personalities.
I DON'T WANT IT TO EVER STOP
I had intended to let it go tonight until I saw the title of this thread. But let's keep it real. We played one of the worst teams in the Big 10. We got out rebounded again. (No surprise.) We lost the other "hustle" categories of steals, TOs, and blocks. Fortunately one of Dino's recruits was able to pull it out for us... The long slow journey to mediocrity continues.
Still BuzzOut till he's gone.
We only had 10 turnovers on 60 possessions for an excellent rate of 16.7%. Three of those were ridiculous ones on Nikita, 2 unforced travels and one other one I can't recall but I know it was a boneheaded play. So turnovers were actually a positive for us.
Steals are predicated as much on the type of defense you play as to how much you hustle. We played a lot of zone tonight in an attempt to control the paint. You're not going to create nearly as many steals playing zone as you are in man.
Blocked shots are only marginally related to hustle as well. With the exception of Carson, our frontcourt players just aren't shotblockers. Carson shows a little ability to do it but has been cheated out of at least one block per game d/t very questionable foul calls.
And as someone else pointed out this was the first game we've outrebounded someone this year.
pretty sure i saw buzz say to rusty "those dick whistles on OGB can lick my unwiped ass" as they walked off the court
I'm sure the Wake count is right, I don't think ESPN counts dead ball rebounds until later and then updates. Either way we were close on boards and got them when it mattered. Carson played like a man and the last play was a great call.
Everyone can fuck off cuz we won, let's drop the arguments for the night and celebrate.
You very well could be right, but ESPN has it 29-28...just different sources.
I don't think there's any disputing that. But fuck it, we won tonight, so let's just take it from there.
