Just wondering if you were at the game. Lehigh's beat writer, Dorky Blake, of the Express-Times, spent about half his article on the intentional foul call with 9.9 seconds left. His and Lehigh's perspective is that it was a bad call. Of course, Flannery and Lee said it was the proper call. If you were there, how did you see it? I'll be out there next Friday, will you be in your costume????

In my opinion, it was plays such as this one last night that caused the intentional foul rule to be instituted. Real late, sure basket looming,grab him, prevent the basket, force him to make foul shots, then get the ball back to retake the lead. The refs were horrible all night, but as I said, if you are looking for a reason why the rule was instituted, this situation was it.

Did you happen to see the skirmish between Flannery and the Lehigh assistant (was it Matt Logie?)? Both the Daily Item and Corky Blake mentioned the scuffle at midcourt after the game...any details?

The entire game was characterized by Lehigh trash talking. For example, pre-game, Rowland yelled to PL POW Charles Lee, saying ,"you bitch-ass M___er F___er". They are thugs. After the game, a Lehigh assistant (not Logie), going down the handshake line, got to Flannery and yelled, "THAT'S F___KING BULLSHIT!!!", instead of shaking hands with class. Presumably, the assistant was upset about the intentional foul call.

Taylor better get his troops under control. This type of stuff is not only atypical of the PL, but was reportedly not seen against conferences such as the Big Ten, etc. Classless.

Thanks Bucky...I happened to see the game at Lehigh (not easy for an alum living in Florida)due to some business travel and Rowland was talking all sorts of smack...running down and screaming in front of the BU bench after nailing a 3.....should be interesting if they meet again in the tournament.
