Look, a foul call leads to Free throws. No call leads to a loss of posession. Therefore, a ref can determine the outcome of a game. We were down by three when Mardy was fouled by Akron's ??? and then carried off the court on a strecher. Had the call been made, we would have had two FT attempts and been down by one assuming both shot were made. Instead, Akron retained posession and we were forced to foul. As a result, Akron's next five points came from the foul line.

I garantee that if Chaney was on the sideline, Akron would have never got back into the game. Chaney would have easily figured out how to make the defensive adjustment that would have stopped Akron's 1st half comeback.
Just know you did not beat a JOHN CHANEY basketball team. You beat a Dan levowitz basketball team. Just because you have five McDonalds All-Americans starting for your Basketball team does not mean you will dominate. Basketball is about out smarting your opponents and knowing how use your players. Levowitz did not know what he was doing and Akron took adavantage of it.

Yes, Akron made big shots! Also, Akron ran two plays for most of the game and TEMPLE'S coach did not know what kind of defense would stop them. That 9 seconds left on the clock shot to tie the game was a result of a play that Akron scored several times on. Who's responsibility is it to take away that lane? The Coach. He sucked and too bad Akron did not go against TEMPLE'S best last night.

Akron won a game against a team that was not at 100%. Hall of fame coach retired and did not show for the game. The players played their hearts out, but unfortunately had a terrible coach calling the shots. Hey, we almost beat Akron with his dumb***. At least we made it close.
Congrats! The game was very fun to watch and Akron pulled off a hell of a comeback. I was sad to see TEMPLE lose, but at the same time happy to see the smile Akron's win put on this cute old lady's, an Akron fan, face. Your baksetball team did deserve to be there last night, Temple did not.
