That's Why You Foul

[all4isu]

that's the thing with hindsight, you're always right.

Yep. Easy to say now.

Completely STUPID! This can only happen to ISU.

Hoiberg should step up and take the entire blame for this loss. As soon as KL made his 2nd FT, Fred should have called timeout. Then in the huddle, explain to the guys that we need to foul.

I was screaming at the TV for someone to foul, and we never did. And of course, KU banks in a 25 footer with one second left.

I'm also completely devastated. I can imagine what the players feel like? They could easily lose a bunch of games after an emotional loss like this. Thanks a lot Fred!

I'd like to be asked not be linked with the "this game is on Fred" people that are in this thread. He made one bad, but ultimately popular (for no reason) choice but kept us in the game against one of the best teams in the nation with his game plan.

It is also easy to say before the play happens.

I don't think they wanted to try to box out Withey and Young with Ejim and Clyburn or a cold Gibson or Booker off the bench. Way to easy for KU to make a FT and then have one of those guys tip the miss out for a wide-open game-winning three.

Um, the guys had the game WON. It was OVER. And we found a way to give it to them. You are wrong.

Kansas made 7 more free throws than ISU even shot. 38 chances for them.......20 for ISU. Outscored by 12 at the FT line. KU shot 50 percent from the field.

Disappointed that ISU did not foul before the last shot. Not flagrant.....just foul. Players should have known. Coach has to know.

If you are not going to foul.......of all the players to leave open to take the shot.......it can't be McLemore.

beat the **** out of Texas now. Just do it.

Here comes the Monday morning quarterback crowd headed by team captain Clonedude.

Team will win the next 5 in a row..

I would choose that possibility 100% of the time over even the small chance of McLemore getting open for a 3.

What part am I wrong about?

[cmjh10]

I wasnt able to watch the game, but I just looked at the box score and I completely agree with you guys. You do not let a guy that was 5 for 5 from the arc take the final shot. Foul somebody else and make you beat them that way.

[Doc]

If ISU defends that illegal screen that Releford set well at all, McLemore doesn't even get that good a shot. I think it was the right decision.
