I honestly don't know what was worse: Quinerly's awful foul on Pippen from the three, Gurley's horrendous turnover, or the officials not allowing anyone to breathe on Pippen.
Putting Vandy on the stripe time after time down the stretch so no clock is running smh.
That 3 with 15:00 to play by Quinerly changed the game. The final 3 minutes or so where it was nothing but "Pippen to shoot free throws..." was unwatchable. I'll take it the win though...

Quinerly absolutely carried us in the second half, so that was good...

Miles also did a great job of not fouling there on that Vanderbilt drive. No idea how he missed it.
Also find it hilarious on that JD rebound, they called a jump ball instead of a foul. Officials have been way too incompetent this year.
The fact that we held Vanderbilt to one FG with 5:23 left shows you how bad these officials were.

All complaints aside, that's three straight wins over Vanderbilt in Memorial. Never thought I'd see the day.
Just looked... 14 of their 27 made FT's came after the under 4:00 timeout to end the game...

Not defending the officials - because half the fouls on Pippen are preemptively called - but Rojas and Bediako do not know how to play defense without fouling. Rojas is limited skill wise and doesn't seem to have a vertical higher than three feet. Bediako just is inexperienced. They play hard.
The foul on Rojas where he didn't even touch Pippen was ridiculous.
Don't disagree at all... Rojas has always been a blind bull in a china shop. I just get tired of seeing guys like Pippen (and that little pug KD Johnson of auburn) drive the lane with the sole intent of drawing a foul, then getting nearly every call when they are either out of control or barely/not touched. Like watching fainting goats in the paint...
And this constant, "let's go review this call and see if it's a flagrant..." is worn out too. I get it on some calls, but way too often the review is senseless and time wasting... just invites more flopping IMO.
