I feel like the likes of Arizona and Houston have had pretty easy start to the conference season. Believe Houston barely beating Tech at home is the only marquee matchup either team has had. Losing to both UCF and WV clearly hurts us when we basically crapped our pants for a stretch in the second half but I have very little doubt that teams at the top will start losing some games soon. I think the conference champions will have 3-4 losses before it’s said and done.

@wissox83 It very well may be a rule, but if it is it is a stupid one. If a player's momentum carries him out of bounds after a layup, that player should have the opportunity to turn around and run back in bounds. If the rules say that an inbounder can throw the ball at an opposing player whose momentum carried him out of bounds and who is actively trying to get back in bounds to draw an automatic technical foul, then that rule needs to change.
-
@wissox83 Its also incorrect that "He was standing out of bounds and was touching the ball when it was still in his hands". The ball had left the inbounder's hands. The inbounder chose to throw the ball to Melvin Council.
-
@Tallturd1 They called it a common foul. Not a flagrant 1.
-
@patoh3 are we talking about the poke in the eye or a different one? I'm confused. The one I'm thinking of they played on, nothing. Should've called a common foul. The viewed it.
-
@crimsonblu22 yes, the poke in the eye where they reviewed it and called it a common foul.
-
@Jayhawk_69 You're letting your bias influence your opinion. I went back and watched. Melvin was way over the line and as I saw it was touching the ball when it was in his hands. Not getting in a pissing match over it, so whatever, doesn't matter now, but obviously I thought we caught a huge break there.
-
We caught a break because it should have been out of bounds off Council but a technical foul would be been preposterous.
I suppose where we disagree is that you think players should not be allowed to be carried out of bounds by their momentum, while I think it is fine, so long as you get back in bounds.
-
Whistle would (should) have just been a re- inbounds. Ball has to be in the inbounder's hands with contact for a T. Inbounding players would be throwing it off guys climbing off photographers and cheerleaders all the time to get a cheap technical if just touching (or getting touched by) an inbound pass was that egregious.

@BeddieKU23 ya I totally agree to win a road game in this league is Huge, Look at Cinn giving Arizona all they wanted for most of their game.
