This is the type of playing that worries me for the tournaments. Reckless fouling and not putting teams away

20 FTs already for Tech and there are 12 min left in the game. Credit them for being aggressive. This is going to be a long 12 min.

I'm not watching game. Are these legit fouls and how is Tech in bonus and we are not? Ugh!

I would be shocked if Drew did not come out with a different 5 after the TO

I would be fine to not shoot another 3 tonight unless its manu and get it down low every time

Great D and Tech hits a 3 at the end of shot clock. That's tough.

What got into Maston. Did his relative talk smack to him about Tech being better?
BU1985

They have 4 guys from the bench each with 2 fouls and no points. I get the strategy now.

This game is going to draw out another 2 hours. How many fouls have been called in the last 2 mins?

Ish w/ another great touch pass to Manu on the perimeter.

Manu's 3 puts BU up 57-51.

Switching to man that time didn't work out. Easy bucket for Tech

Refs are absolute garbage and it's a damn shame we get the 10th most amount of respect in the conference.

No one from BU blocks out the shooter and they get an easy layup. Stupid mistakes on the line tonight have cost us 4 points.

That was absolute BS call on Manu. He just stood there.
Blackout Sniper

The refs have literally taken over the game.

Aint a basketball game any longer.

Kansas can come in and throw a body slam block at the end of the game vs Tech, and Manu just basically stands there and it's a foul?

Tonight's calls have been so bad on the perimeter.

I didn't see what Motley ddi for the Technical?
