Seriously?! What is KJ supposed to do? Apparently you just can't put your body on a guy in the post. I mean, shit. At least they are consistent with it I guess.
The fouls on Blackshear this half have been ridiculous.

We are really forcing the issue here in the 2nd half. Almost in the bonus already.
That defense! That transition! That and-one!
We got a ballgame!
Check the post I did on Regional Sports Networks. It will probably identify what channel in your area is covering the game. Most of the networks seem to be Fox affiliated.
These refs need to reel it in. They just whistled a play dead for no reason. This isn't rec-league basketball. If there's a foul, call it.
While it makes little difference to me, coming from the family I do I can see where some people might have reservations about it.
I'm in Nashville, and this game is blacked out on Directv and WatchESPN. Which is pretty disappointing....
Edit -- nevermind, it was just halftime when I tried to watch on the ESPN app, and they were showing other content. It's on now.
I don't understand what KJ is supposed to do on defense? He was just manning the guy up and got whistled.
Do you think Buzz wants our backside posts coming over to help on post-ups? That's where a lot of their easy baskets are coming from. We go to help and they just throw it up and get the easy put back on the backside.
Edit. It just happened on the first possession of the half.

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: Virginia Tech Hokies (11-6, 3-1) at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (11-6, 1-3) Noon RSN/ESPN3 Sloppy first half consisting of some lazy passes getting picked off and also our guards really forcing the issue on drives to the basket. It's been somewhat of a theme all season, especially with Allen, but there were at least 4 possessions in the first half where one of our guards would drive to the basket and throw up a prayer layup in traffic that was promptly rejected (and lead to fastbreak points the other way). If you don't have a step on a defender, don't force the layup. Just keep your dribble alive and circle out. Or if the goal is to draw a foul, JUMP INTO the defender. I swear no one on our team gets this. They're constantly trying to contort themselves away from the defender attempting a low percentage circus shot.
GT is playing pretty physical but if we correct our mistakes, we can get back into this game and pick up a road W.
There was at least one time where Blackshear had a guy completely boxed, but the guy still pulled the board down from over KJ's head. He just didn't jump or move outside of blocking him out. The guy scored on the put back immediately after.

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: Virginia Tech Hokies (11-6, 3-1) at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (11-6, 1-3) Noon RSN/ESPN3 Thank for the write-up rob. I wouldn't have known it was on without it.
Also, Root sports just became my favorite channel. Carries the Pens, Pirates and now the Hokies

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: Virginia Tech Hokies (11-6, 3-1) at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (11-6, 1-3) Noon RSN/ESPN3 I'll never understand the blackout decisions - unavailable up here in MA on Sling/WatchESPN as well. I can however watch the Continental Cup of Curling (Mixed Doubles) as the next available menu selection.
Offensive rebounds are killing us. Almost half their points are second chance points so far. That cant continue if we want to win.
GT has 7 blocks. VT needs to drive and kick it to the big man covered by White or Lammers (3 blocks each). It will cut down on the blocks in the lane.
I'm pretty sure that was "block that sh*t"
They have 7 at the half. We have 1.
The drive and kicks are there for us we just aren't executing it. Instead we keep going up against 2 or 3 big guys and continue to get swatted away. The couple of times we did kick it out, we hit the 3. Jalen and Bibbs.
With the way the first half looked, I feel pretty good about only being down 10. Hopefully Buzz can get them focused for the 2nd half
Huge basket before halftime. Hope Buzz can rally the troops for the 2nd half. We were starting to show some life from the 8 minute mark on.
Thanks, I finally found it on Fox Sports non HD.
How was that not an off ball foul when Blackshear tried going to rim and instead we get jump ball off Hudson after it? BEGINNING TO PISS ME OFF.

There is very little large scale clothing manufacturing inside the US anymore.
