Bill Walton legitimately makes Pac-12 games nigh-unwatchable.

He actually left the broadcast to use the restroom tonight. He was walking alongside the court at the start of overtime.

I hate hate hate Dook, but love watching Zion. Kid is something different out there.

I just saw the 6-point possession by Florida. Ridiculous. The ref called a defensive foul off the ball on LSU, which was fine, but they had a conference and decided to count an obvious delayed / continuation 3 for Florida, then LSU interim coach gets T'd up. And Florida was in the bonus. Three points for the shot, and four FTs. You cant draw up a better scenario when you are down 3 with under 4 minutes to go.

That play, and those 6 points, likely got us into the Dance when we beat LSU. Granted, there was that whole prior game thing - and we made the clutch three at the end of the game. After a long up-and-down year, we seem to be safely nestled with tOSU in the four safe bye spots.

He’s gonna look mighty good on one of this year’s shitty teams other than Cleveland next year. Meanwhile, the Cavs will draft some shitbag to go with Sexton from last year in their “rebuild.”

Big East refs had a brutal game tonight. Calling touch fouls late that had Gus Johnson complaining. Weak T for.a player skipping down the court after being called for a foul. The teams combined for 57 fouls and 85 free throws. 9 technicals, four foul-outs, and 3 ejections, plus one reneged ejection. Hair-trigger whistle.

I don't think I have ever seen a guy miss a dunk in the final minutes and get called for hanging on the rim before for a Tech.

Lots of teams to root against today so no more bid stealers emerge. We are fighting 2 fights here one to get into the dance and the 2nd to avoid Dayton.

Rooting against

Bowling Green
Oregon
San Diego State

2nd level rooting these are teams 2 wins away from stealing a bid

Memphis
Wichita State

3rd level rooting these teams look to be in but a loss today they could move below us possibly

Florida

Hopefully the Gators can pull this one out against Bruce Head Snitch/Coach Pearl and the Auburn Tigers

I think too many dominoes are falling against us and Kaleb's 3 game hiatus is likely to be the difference between NCAA and NIT.

Had the Bucks not gone 0-3, it would be a different story. Losing at home to Illinois, with Kaleb, didn't help either.

I can't even talk about that non-call at the end. Maybe I'm biased.

You tell me.

SEC REFS ARE THE WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PJ out of the game because of a BS 1st call on a rebound and then the double F1.

F U SEC REFS

Duke has 3 fouls in the 2nd half with 4 mins left. Bilas lets us know one of the reasons is bc NC isn't taking the ball to the hoop.

Sure Jay. What's the other, more accurate reason?

All ball.



Oh...and arm, and leg, and back, and face.

It should have been a foul on the floor, so no need to fret much.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

what bothers me much more than the no-call was auburn even being in the position to foul a shooter 35 feet from the basket while up by 3.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

up 3 with about 15 seconds to go, houston elects not to foul and gives up a couple 3-point attempts. fortunately for us, memphis misses each. so stupid, though.

 

[DZ83CK]

Memphis was lucky the refs called a late Houston charge and didn't count the made basket even though the ball was released prior to the contact. Memphis didn't deserve to win the game.
