This. Not sure how everyone doesn't see this. If Xavier is going to come close to their ceiling over the next 1-2 years, it's with Naji as a scorer. LOL at him becoming a Stanley Burrell defensive shut down guy.
No doubt XU is a high major program now with the message board performance during a down year.

Agree they need Naji but his shot selection is poor. Last year was such a different animal because teams were doubling down on Kanter, O'Mara and helping on Bluitt. That opened so much for Q and Naji. His 3s were wide open. This year, he was a focal point and teams guarded him closely. Both players can be effective if they first take good shots and secondly, have help from the outside to spread the floor.

I was at that game. Oden knocked Cage into the fourth row of floor seats. If there was a textbook flagrant foul, that was it. Should have been two shots and Xavier's ball. The other thing that still eats at me is that Miller didn't foul Lewis before he made his very long, game tying three pointer.

I agree you should foul there. Can't remember how much time was left on the clock but they should have fouled right on the rebound of the FT or ASAP in the backcourt.
I think people think that situation is so much easier than it is. That has to take some practice and is a lot easier to execute out of a timeout or deadball. You dont want to foul too hard and have an intentional situation arise and you dont want to wait too long or panic and do it and have the guy go into his shooting motion (see KSU against X fouling Tu).
That also seemed to be at the very beginning stages of the foul up 3 strategy. I feel like it is much more accepted by coaches now. I am sure with a guy like Oden in the game (dont think he was fouled out was he?) you always run the risk of them getting a board off a missed FT.
Personally I dont think a team should do it unless the clock is under 8 secs maybe even less. Easy to a foul a team with 10 secs they make both and then they get a steal or foul and you only make 1 of 2 and now a three beats you or only a 2 ties it."I知 willing to sacrifice everything for this team.

Yeah I remember Miller saying he struggled with the call. Foul or let them play it out?
A 3 at the end of regulation happens all the time. Even 25 footers that are contested.
If you foul, they have to make the first, miss the second, get the rebound and score.
Or conversely, miss the first, miss the second, get a rebound, and hit a 3.
Fundamentals, if applied, will make the chances of the free throw route go down drastically.

Yes agreed. As long as your players dont foul too aggressively or foul while the player is shooting.
It ultimately worked out for Kansas State but I am sure Frank Martin would have wanted a re-do on that one.
I think that Kansas state one was out of a dead ball too. Which is a lot easier to execute than after a missed FT."I知 willing to sacrifice everything for this team.

Fouling up three didnt work out for Purdue tonight. May still win in OT but UVA tied after missing the second FT. Took an unreal play though. Fouling probably still the right call.

Someone on Twitter had also pointed out just how huge resetting the game clock from 59.7 to a full minute looks after the fact.
