Tovarich: That game was more fixed than the St. Francis game.
Reporter: Who exactly is fixing it?
Tovarich: The fixers.
Reporter: Why do you think some of your games are fixed?
Tovarich: There are too many misses. Too many coincidences. Too many predictable things. It's the second time where we had somewhere in the vicinity of 15 chance to tie or take the lead and we shoot 0%. 3 FT's down 2 with 8 seconds. Make the first. Miss the last two. Get an offensive rebound. Miss an easy putback layup. 44-23 rebounds is too insane. When they did occasionally miss, they got it back 75% of the time. 8/16 on FT's? We shoot over 80%. 6/33 on 3's? Tyson 1-14? It's too many coincidences all at once. +16 in turnovers and +16 in shots is extreme and not enough still. We shoot 0% down 1 score and about 100% down 2 scores. It's blatant and I can see it coming every time. They were 1-4 and there's nothing magical about their high school gym.
Reporter: Are you sure it's not team unity?
Tovarich: If it is, it's crap. I sub in 5 guys at once who played together last year and Raftery can tell me all he wants how they haven't played together very often. LOL. They've played 38 games together, so it's not that. I don't know who comes up with team unity but it's way overblown if it's the problem. I don't think it's why we can't get a rebound or why we miss layups. If someone's going up for a layup and stop to think, "wait, I'm not very experienced at playing with the guy who passed me the ball" and then misses then it's all stupid.
