Arkansas once trailed by 17 but now lead UNC by 4 with 12 minutes left.

Well this Arkansas/UNC game was unexpected

 

[Jake]

Arkansas must have failed the pre game hydration thingy, two starters on the bench late with cramps. That really shouldn't happen, but they're clinging to a lead.

Impressive job by the Carolina defense right now. Making it very tough for Arkansas to get into their offense early.

 

[Jake]

Man, Arkansas can't even get a shot off the last couple minutes. Carolina turned up the defense and got back in the lead. Looks like they're going to survive.

100% a charge on meeks.

 

[Jake]

JFC, that has to be a call of some kind. Carolina guy bowls over a defender and they swallow the whistles. Might as well put on football pads now.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

if that was neither a charge nor a block, then it was absolutely a travel.

 

[OhioState001]

100% a charge on meeks.

And a travel and they missed the ball going off on UNC on review. But no full time refs needed right?

He actually ended up walking so it had to be something. No walk, no charge, no block. Why are the refs even out there?

Sparty ran out of gas the last 5 minutes, but the Hogs are hanging with the Heels.

further putting the nail in the coffin that is my bracket this year...

How they couldn't see the Carolina guy tip that shot on replay is beyond me. It was pretty evident live, let alone on replay. I actually thought Meeks was fouled from behind before he ran into the other guy, but a total no call either way is ridiculous...

yes, every call ever would be fixed by basketball refs being hired not to work in june.

Not one for conspiracies but I do believe refs can be influenced by crowds and pedigrees. Either way, UNC got a lot of calls in the final minute of a close game.

Baylor looking pretty Ducky.....
