Come on man... 5 seconds left in the game in you're on your end of the court. What's he supposed to do kick it out after he drove?

tough...they aren't going to call a foul in that situation even though it was more contact then most of fouls called the entire game.

We didn't deserve to win that game but played hard to stay in it.

JCS will have a lot of game tape to review to see where he made mistakes.

We got to where we were because of 1 good week. We clearly are not quite there but it is still encouraging to see this program slowly progressing

Man that stunk. There was no way JCS could have done anything other than what he did. Speaks was covered, and despite what the TV guys keep saying, there was no angle to pass to Marshall. He was back too far.


Great game though. Really exciting and the best way to lose if it's gonna be that way. A&T's defense was something to behold. Really good traps and LU never had anybody help the ball handler out in those situations.

He got bumped pretty hard there at the lay-up. I know it's going to have to be pretty flagrant to get a call... but still. You just hate to see it end like that. Overall, a good end to the season for our guys. Hopefully, they have something to build on for next year. After reading some of the interviews with the team, you have to admit they grew up at the end of the year and came together to make a run after facing adversity throughout the year.

That was a good showing REGARDLESS and cant NOBODY say otherwise, even withstanding the horrible play throughout the game.

The reason its being said was unless he beat somebody off the dribble tonight (rarely) and it was ususally on the right side EVERYTHING going to his left was either blocked or hitting the bottom of the rim. I agree him driving was not a good decision, TONIGHT anyways

Seriously? We are complaining about the contact? JC initiated the contact with the defender so why would they call a foul? :dontgetit

And the kick out was there but I'm not going to bust on him for not kicking it out.

Edit: agree with Charles. You are 6 foot. Pull up at the FT line area and hit the jumper. He did play better during the BSC Tourney.

guys on TV did this for a career before sitting in those chairs, they were right should of been a kick out or pull up. And it was an ALL GAME long bad decision going to his left

LOOKS to me like the guys on TV apparently wanted us to get the W, lol

Im proud of this team and the players. Win or lose. They showed heart. Give them credit. Most of us and including myself wrote them off a long time ago when they started 0-8. dont point the finger at a time like this but give these young man some due. these are yound man that are students. Remember this is a game and God has a bigger plan for these young man than a W or an L.

Great showing by the Flames!! I don't know why so many people bust in John Caleb - He's a good player and I think better than his brother in some ways. He made a good decision - try and get down there why they were on their heals and if we call a timeout - NC A&T gets to setup there defense and we don't get a shot that close. I hope John Caleb goes in next year as pre-season first team with Marshall - Flames should be much improved next year...

No one is saying call a TO. They are saying stay out of the corner. Look for your team mates. Pull up for a short jumper.

How many wasted timeouts? How many dribble drives into double/triple teams? He had a good night shooting and a bad night running the offense.
