I thought that was a bad foul call. You don't usually call that in those situations.

Warhammer · 03-22-2007, 08:59 PM

Woo hoo!

He is not supposed to do that if he did, the ball must touch something or somebody out of bounds.

Lathum · 03-22-2007, 09:03 PM

Time for the Vols to pull the upset

Hard not to call an arm across a chest/arm of the shooter. You hate to see fouls called at the end of the game, but you can't just let anything go either. That was probably just enough contact to allow an argument in either direction.

Lathum · 03-22-2007, 09:10 PM

the bottom line is if A&M had gotten a fucking rebound none of it would have happened.

So if I take the ball at the end of a game, I can try to throw it into the upper deck, and the clock won't stop until it hits a fan in row 15 of the mezzanine?

I agree with the clock, but that foul was not a screw job. That foul gets called at 4 mins, it should be called with 3 secs.

Also Law, while slightly bumped, had a layup to go up 3.

A&M has to blame themselves. Memphis keeps suprising me, I keep expecting them to miss a key free throw to lose a game and they still haven't done so.

The whistle in basketball works differently than the whistle in football. A whistle isn't the absolute end of the play in basketball. A whistle can be ignored if the replay shows the whistle was blown early or in error.

Yep. If you notice, when a team has the ball and is about to win, the guy chunks the ball as far and high as he can, and the clock continues to run.

Easy Mac · 03-22-2007, 09:24 PM

damn, this osu-TN game will be low scoring

Lathum · 03-22-2007, 09:24 PM

apparently 2 point buckets are not allowed in the Tenn-OSU game

Easy Mac · 03-22-2007, 09:24 PM

I'm definitely not saying it's a screw job, but refs routinely make it clear to teams at the end of games there not going to call fouls they might call at other times in the game.

Yup...

http://www.ncaa.org/library/rules/20...ball_rules.pdf

Art. 2.

The ball shall be out of bounds when it touches a player who is out

of bounds; any other person, the floor, or any object on or outside a boundary;
the supports or back of the backboard; or the ceiling, overhead equipment
or supports.

Yeah, of course...but that is usually thrown straight (or close to straight) up in the air, and therefore the ball is staying within the boundaries of the court.

and P.S. Only the smart guys do that

Not that my opinion matters, but I HATE when refs swallow the whistle.

Which usually leads to increased contact from players who think they can now get away with it.

Good enough for me. Thanks.

OSU better not screw around with UT the way they did with Xavier

wade moore · 03-22-2007, 09:36 PM

Freakin' late games..

GO VOLS!

wade moore · 03-22-2007, 09:38 PM

Sweet, Oden sits with 10:00 left in the half and 2 fouls!

Groundhog · 03-22-2007, 09:40 PM

Man, Aaron Gray aint so crash hot finishing in the post, but UCLA are playing some good D, especially after they realised that it's probably a good idea to double-team Gray every time he gets it in the post.

Lathum · 03-22-2007, 09:53 PM

And that's 3 on Oden

wade moore · 03-22-2007, 09:53 PM

And now Three on Oden - SMART play by the Vols there....

I'm enjoying this right now as a Vols fan, hopefully they don't dissapoint me.

sterlingice · 03-22-2007, 09:54 PM

Sweet Jesus, can Tennessee miss?

I was just saying to ardent in IM - I love how the Vols just attack constantly. I think OSU was hoping to make UT play their game, and they seem lost with that failing - they certainly haven't been able to play UT's up-tempo game.

Lathum · 03-22-2007, 09:59 PM

hmmmm

An Ohio state team getting outplayed by an SEC school that they took to lightly.

Haven't we seen this before?

adubroff · 03-22-2007, 09:59 PM

If your Ohio St., what number makes you happy at half? 12? 10? Less than 10?

Lathum · 03-22-2007, 10:00 PM

I say single digits

Lathum · 03-22-2007, 10:01 PM

dola- even then it is gonna be tough, the Vol's are gonna go right at Oden in the second half.

OSU just has too many young kids running things. They consistently make bad decisions and hoist up poor shots. If they stay together they'll be a force, but they're just not mature enough to win the tourny this year.

The good news for me is that it looks like I'll have two teams in the final eight in Lathum's survivor game!
