    The dude obviously thought they were down one and needed an immediate foul. You guys need to set aside your Butler hate and realize the refs made the correct calls.
    He didnt foul him on purpose like so many think, go back and look at it, the moment the foul is called the Pitt player tosses his hands up in the air in the ever popular "I didnt do anything" pose. And to say that play is called 100/100 times isnt accurate as Ive seen far worse go uncalled simply because its the end of the game and the refs are letting them play. Either way atleast the games have been entertaining and close unlike the beatdowns that were dished out yesterday.

        Something else that will get lost but what about before the fouls? What an excellent play inside to Smith for the basket to take the lead. I was quite surprised someone other than Mack or Howard took the last shot.

            Refs made the right call on both plays. The argument about swallowing the whistle is just plain silly. How about you don't run into a player with the ball who will have to make the shot of his life to win. On the other side why would you even swipe at a player who would have to make a full court shot.

                The more I think it over I tend to agree with your viewpoint.

                Mack was running the guy out of bounds, that is a clear foul that should be called at that point because either its going to be called out of bounds or a foul, but something has to be called.

                Foul on Howard was a foul but IMO that last 1.whatever seconds would've had no impact on the game, whistle could've been swallowed and I'd have been fine with it, send it to OT and let the players decide it. But then again the Pitt player is an idiot for committing the foul and making the ref blow his whistle.

                I personally do not think that foul should've been called but I rescind my the refs giftwrapped this win for Pitt comment, the Pitt player giftwrapped the win for Butler by being an idiot.

                Thats my stance on it, don't really care to debate it I know a lot of people don't agree with it but thats where I stand on the matter wrong or not, whistles need to be swallowed at certain points, its a slippery slope but thats my $0.02.

                  Looks like we're going to have a rematch of last years first round game between BYU and Florida.

                  I would love nothing more than Butler vs BYU in the Elite 8.

                    Agreed, they made the right calls, if you're counting on the ref to swallow his whistle you're taking a big chance, some refs might've swallowed their whistles there but some won't, this one didn't and Pitt cost themselves the game.

                      Yes it is forgotten. Brad Stevens can just flat out coach. They run great sets on the offensive end. On the defensive side of the ball they are as good as anyone when it comes to help defense.

                      That play call was money no one in the world thought that ball was going to Smith which was evident by how wide open he was.

                        the end of this game had a Fab 5 vibe going on. Boneheaded plays by players (stupid fouls vs stupid TO calls), some Jalen Rose style trash talk from Mack

                              sad to see it end like that but i'm glad the underdog came out on top, Butler has a never say die attitude, gotta like that .
