Other Games Tonight

@Kcmatt7 It’s hard to feel sorry for Baylor! I turned it on just as he was heading to the bench, so I didn’t see it.
I just hate to see a horrible, horrible call change a game. Baylor had all momentum and Vital was dominating. He was literally taken out of the game by the refs.
Now, Drew should have pulled him out before he got it. But it doesn’t excuse a bad call.

And worst call of the day goes against Baylor and Vital picking up his 4th on what was either a charge or no call.
AGREE. - How could that NOT of been a charge? – if not a charge - -then he traveled after the contact - -what the hell? -you gotta call SOMETHING. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Rough night for THE GREAT ONE Jay Wright.

Tennessee escapes Iowa. The SEC has looked good, which is shocking. Tennessee, UK, Auburn and LSU to the sweet 16.
-
LOL, CBS doesn’t want a Duke loss, so Zion can double dribble on a fast break and not have it called. Horrible. Announcers say nothing, they showed the replay and everything but gushed on Zion. This is becoming like pro wrestling.

First time since 2009 I believe that Rick Barnes made it past the weekend. That was damn near the most epic choke job ever.
-
Finish the job Knights!
-
Dammit!
-
Weak box out!
-
Oh boy, the officiating in this game…
-
Duke got away with at least 3 fouls in the final minute

Anyone but Zion and that is a charge.

Yep

That last one was not a charge, UCF guy flopped on that one. I’ll agree on some of the other ones, but that last one was a good non call.
-
UCF still had their chances with that missed lob. But if KU gets thoses calls, it’s all over ESPNs and several sports front page. Because its Dook no one will bat an eye.
-
Makes our duke win last year, pretty damn special!
-
Kudos to UCF. That was an exciting game, and strangely they have no one to blame but themselves. The missed lob was the hugest missed lob in NCAA history! A 5 point swing. Better job of boxing out on the missed FT. Of course there’s 15 seconds of play left at that point so if UCF gets the RB, they get fouled, have to make the highest pressure packed FT’s in school history just to make it a 3 point game, so not sure how huge that was.
-
@wissox Barrett pushed off to get that rebound. It wasn’t a coincidence… No call.
-
@ajvan My cousin was saying the same. I missed that. So did the officials, but I didn’t see it because I missed seeing it, 3 officials are paid not to miss it.
-
@ajvan I just watched the replay. No blatant push off on the rebound in my view.

bullshit - -you got to call SOMETHING - you can’t swallow your whistle on that. - -It’s either a charge OR a block. - -you can’t chew on the plastic on your whistle on a play like that - - – one way or another - that just made him look REAL stupid
-
Virginia outs OU and the little 12 is down to Tech in the sweet 16.

Sorry, but that last one was a non call situation. The UCF player flopped trying to draw another charge on Zion since Zion got called for a charge the possession before that. The UCF player flopped on that one and didn’t get the call and put Tacko in a bad spot and that led to Fall fouling out on that play.
There were definitely issues in that game with officiating, but I didn’t see anything to take major issue with in the final minute of the game.
The other play people are crying about is the RJ Barrett offensive rebound off of Zion’s missed FT, that was one of the weakest box outs I’ve ever seen. The UCF player never got into a good box out position and was almost standing vertically which made it very easy to move him. I could’ve gotten that offensive rebound on that box out because of how weak it was.
The refs kept Duke in the game, UCF buckled under pressure when they should have won that game. An easy lay up missed, a flop, not boxing out, two missed shot at the basket all played a bigger role in determining that game than the refs did.

maybe that is why I quit officiating after 15 plus years - - -I promise you that would of been called if it were me officiating that game- – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Guard Dook like Garrett is on the floor?
-
Gonzaga beats FSU, Tech over Michigan (surprisingly to me), Virginia over Oregon and Purdue with a surprise win in OT vs Tennessee which lost the game at the FT line. Thinking about how boring a Virginia vs Tech title game would be lol the teams may not break 80 points combined.
-
@kjayhawks I enjoyed watching Virginia tonight. They played D hard for entirety of every possession down the stretch and worked to find good looks on O. Things that we blew many possessions on this year, they didn’t do.
-
Plus I’m glad they took out Altman and the D*cks. I won’t forget them talking smack after beating Frank’s senior year team: no class.
-
@approxinfinity fun watching tech beat a good team, and oh yeah we DID play well and beat tech too!
-
Bol bol looked pretty excited to be there!
-
@approxinfinity In retrospect, I think that loss hurt more than any other, other than Jacques and the boys to AZ in '97.
-
@Fightsongwriter I wasn’t watching the program when Vaughn was a Jayhawk so I can’t weigh in there, but Frank’s loss was without a doubt my biggest heartbreak since becoming a fan. I watched highlights of the 83-80 win over Arizona led by Vaughn in '96.
. The kid was fun to watch! Very shifty and smart with the ball. I can see why people loved his game.
-
I didn’t watch a single game last night but I saw that Purdue and Texas Tech are in the EE. What kind of wacky world is this??!

Purdue super lucky. Were down 2 with 2 seconds left. Tenn fouled Carsen Edwards and he made FT’s and sent it to OT.
Tech sent Michigan’s offense back to the stone age. 16 points at half
Oh and the Virginia Oregon game was first to 50.
Gonzaga was the best team that played last night. They were hungry
-
@approxinfinity Gosh those 96 and 97 teams had a ton of talent. I’ve always said that Self has had the talent for at least 2 more titles but Roy also should’ve had at least 2. But in the same sense, UK, Dook and UNC could probably say the same they just have more already and a chance to add to it this year.
-
Roy def should have had a couple titles at KU.
-
1997 and 2002 were the real “lost” titles in my opinion for Roy. The two best teams in he had, I think.
-
@HighEliteMajor No question, really we should’ve been back to back in 2002 and 2003.
-
We’ve had more than our fair share of would’ve, could’ve’s. My would’ve was in 1986. We beat eventual champ Louisville twice that season, but got cheated by the Duke whistle in the final four. It’s really down to that team and the 97 team as KU’s best teams that didn’t win it all.
-
With ESPN hype machine you wouldn’t think anyone played last night or anyone but Dook is playing tonight.
-
Go Hokies!

I actually think Tech has a shot against Gonzaga. - -Tech’s Defense is just crazy. - and when they start knocking down shots - -then they can be really hard to beat. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BeddieKU23 Yep Go Hokies, I realize they just beat Dook a month ago with out Zion. But I’m going to bet Dook spanks the daylights outta them especially after losing to them and almost losing to UCF. They will be focused and on their game, will be a cruise.

Do you mean the team that lost to Maryland or Syracuse? I thought Maryland was the best team the majority of that season and earned that title. KU definitely gave away the 2003 game with their FT shooting that night.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Gooden’s fresh legs would’ve won that title. Oh well, miss 18? free throws and you should lose. That one stings still, but quiet as much as the one regular season, triple overtime loss, team of ‘97.
-
@approxinfinity 35-4. Started 4 NBA players. Best team in CBB by far, until that damn AZ team. Jerrod Haase was hurt and couldn’t shoot which killed us. He had been rock solid all year. Still hard to take 20+ years later.

Jeff Graves nightmares. Thanks!

@Texas-Hawk-10 I was referring to 2002, the Maryland loss. Maryland wasn’t the top team most of that season, Duke was (by polling it appears). Duke got upset by Indiana in the sweet 16 on the other side of the bracket. Link below that tracks the polling for that season. It seems that Duke, KU, and MD were the best teams. We lost to a stud team.
Personally, I think that 2002 team with Gooden and Collison both might have been our best over all team under Roy (maybe better than the 1997 team overall).
