Mack with a crazy shot to make it 60-60 !

I hope Butler advances, for some reason i really root for Matt Howard

hoopsguy · 03-19-2011, 07:56 PM

That last three for Mack - which gave him 27 points out of Butler's 60 - was pretty sick.

Butler now up 2 with 5 to play.

sterlingice · 03-19-2011, 07:57 PM

Sheldon Mack, are you kidding me?

SI

sterlingice · 03-19-2011, 07:58 PM

BTW, this ad campaign for Coke Zero sucks. Near as I can tell, the only message is "if you drink our other product, which I might add is one of the most popular in the entire world, you're a moron"

Jamie really needs to just put somebody on him and thats all that defender needs to do...... that fact that he hasn't made that change yet is kinda embarrassing

sterlingice · 03-19-2011, 07:59 PM

There's a defender on him on the last two threes, tho. They're just a couple of feet off because he's shooting from 25', which is just nuts

SI

sterlingice · 03-19-2011, 08:04 PM

Big three for Pitt right there!

SI

Young Drachma · 03-19-2011, 08:06 PM

This is like a prize fight.

Atocep · 03-19-2011, 08:07 PM

Soft fouls on a guy going up for a layup is one of my biggest pet peeves in basketball. Either put the guy on his ass or give him the layup.

muns · 03-19-2011, 08:07 PM

those last 2 fouls on butler were not fouls.... these refs are pretty bad.....

sterlingice · 03-19-2011, 08:08 PM

It's funny- they'll go a couple of minutes of "just letting them play" and then go a couple of touch fouls. They're just horribly inconsistent

SI

muns · 03-19-2011, 08:11 PM

Its just a shame that they can influence a game like they are

hoopsguy · 03-19-2011, 08:12 PM

Pitt had to be ecstatic to see someone besides Mack shooting in that spot, even if Howard had a good look.

Lathum · 03-19-2011, 08:13 PM

wow, how do you not know the shot clock is about to expire. Horrible basketball IQ from Pitt

sterlingice · 03-19-2011, 08:13 PM

Oh boy. Here we go...

SI

Atocep · 03-19-2011, 08:13 PM

Is it possible for Butler to play a game in the Tourney that isn't decided by the last shot?

muns · 03-19-2011, 08:13 PM

wow.......... lol

Yep, shame on Pitt for not getting something on the rim and giving their bigs a chance to crash.

Lathum · 03-19-2011, 08:16 PM

This is what I despise about basketball, the last 9 seconds will end up taking 10 minutes of real time

whomario · 03-19-2011, 08:17 PM

Bullshit call !!!! he should never go there of course, but still ... Was it in the act of shooting ??

kingfc22 · 03-19-2011, 08:18 PM

BULLSHIT!!!

These refs have been awful all half.

Big Fo · 03-19-2011, 08:18 PM

Gutsy or foolish foul call? I will need to see a replay.

edit: Looks like a bad call.

jbergey22 · 03-19-2011, 08:18 PM

Ridiculous

sterlingice · 03-19-2011, 08:19 PM

Bullshit call. They both have a right to that ball

SI

muns · 03-19-2011, 08:19 PM

Im a huge pitt homer, but whoever wins this game is just shit due to the refs.....

hoopsguy · 03-19-2011, 08:19 PM

No matter what the refs call, announcers just seem to go way out of their way to back their decision.

kingfc22 · 03-19-2011, 08:20 PM

Are you kidding me!!!!

Big Fo · 03-19-2011, 08:20 PM

OMG, another one. Wow.

kingfc22 · 03-19-2011, 08:21 PM

This is atrocious!

sterlingice · 03-19-2011, 08:21 PM

OMG!

SI

Lathum · 03-19-2011, 08:21 PM

This is absurd

jbergey22 · 03-19-2011, 08:21 PM

Just let them play OT. Wow

Dont let a great game decided this way.

Atocep · 03-19-2011, 08:21 PM

What the fuck is going on?

Young Drachma · 03-19-2011, 08:21 PM

What a game.

muns · 03-19-2011, 08:21 PM

you know im glad he missed that last free throw so it could be decided by the kids.... but this is really total bullshit

whomario · 03-19-2011, 08:21 PM

Ball don´t lie !

Now THAT was a stupid reach/foul, holy shit would that guy get an earful from me.

sterlingice · 03-19-2011, 08:21 PM

Just ridiculous

SI

kingfc22 · 03-19-2011, 08:22 PM

This group of refs better not step back on the court the rest of the year.

This is just a horrendous job.

whomario · 03-19-2011, 08:22 PM

if i´m the Butler coach i tell my guys to stay the hell away after the FTs

hoopsguy · 03-19-2011, 08:22 PM

I hope someone in the studio has the courage to say how badly the ending of this game was butchered by the refs.

This was such a compelling game, and to have this be the lasting memory of it is a real shame.

Didn't need to be in the act of shooting, it was double bonus.

Butler-Pitt shaping up to be the first ever DOUBLE BONE HEAD PLAYS TO THE END THE GAME game.

whomario · 03-19-2011, 08:23 PM

Matt Howard is awesome

I love Gminski so I won't say much on him, Brando though called tons of ACC games this year and seemed to find a way to rub me the wrong way 4 or 5 times a game, usually by shitting on the [sarcasm]stupid fans and their stupid biases[/sarcasm]

Lathum · 03-19-2011, 08:23 PM

This is the craziest ending to a game I have ever seen. Pitt has to be one of the dumbest teams I have ever seen.

Hopefully Barkley says something. He never holds back.
