Thunder were the better team last night, that’s all there is to it.

I couldn’t give less of a shite. The fact that this is what you lead your post with tells me all I need to know about the no call.

And if you really want to bring the refs into it, they were giving Maturin every opportunity to keep it close and he missed like five free throws in crunch time. Haven’t seen anyone mention that yet.

Again. Deflection.

You can say it was a dogshit no call. Nobody is going to remember it two weeks from now.

I have zero interest in who wins. I’ve watched a total of 6 minutes of this series. End of game 1 and 4.

What did you think of the straight steal call in the top of the 9th?

So much talk about today’s NBA not being physical enough, and the same people want more push off fouls to be called. Grow a pair.

The push off is irrelevant but the five steps to create space for essentially the game winner is a bit much. It didn’t even look smooth where it tricks your eye to thinking maybe he didn’t walk. It was awkward and looked bad real time. You gotta blow the whistle in that spot.

It’s a big game but I am not convinced either team is toast with a loss on Saturday.

Remember, LSU was dead and buried after losing to Wake Forest in 2023 and this year’s pitching staff has more depth imo

No one is discussing it because its a given. Anderson is going. He had a lot of success against Arkansas the first time plus hes on more days rest.

I fully expect Anderson to get the ball Saturday, but he did give up seven hits and 3 ER in 5 2/3 innings against Arky in May. Also, Arkansas hits lefties well.

Eyanson completely dominated their lineup. 6 IP 5 hits 0 ER 11 K 1 BB

Duke also had a LHP enter who had 91 K in 65 IP. I’m sure he’d be a big time add but I assume all of these guys are going to end up at UVA.

Everything private equity touches usually turns to shite for the consumer. More expensive for a worse experience. I fully expect buyer's remorse.

The loser of the lsu arky game Saturday night is not dead. Either would be a tough out.

There is a lot of parity in college baseball right now as teams adjust to the portal era. Also, the college baseball postseason is destined from randomness due to its format. One bad game can derail your season in a regional.

Is 2023 a little sweeter because of the loser's bracket run?

I doubt there's much adversity for that team with Taylor on it.

This is what it is. He used the same line in a coach's committee meeting but expounded upon it a little further.

Jay doesn't take being told no well, and he also doesn't like it when people assume guys show up to LSU because of the brand. Dude works his arse off. LSU is VERY lucky.
