    Spoiled Duke fans shocked they finally didn't get a call their way.

    The refs still tried a last second screw job. The shot went through the9 net (the point at which the clock stops) at .3 seconds. By rule, there can only be a tip with .3 or less time on the clock. Somehow, they reviewed the clock and added .1. That gave Duke the option of a catch and shoot...

    Queen walked! 3 steps after the gather. Never called there, bit that was a clear violation!

    UT beats Bama at Buzzer

    Nate Oats coaching down the stretch... 1. Not making sure his players know not to foul up four with 35 seconds left, but if they do, foul hard enough that the shot doesn't make it to the rim. (Mostly on Nelson here though) 2. All-American and 1st Team all-SEC point guard doesn't have the ball...

    I make it a point to not piss and moan about Refs

    The Butler call was horrendous. It actually involved 3 bad calls ON THE SAME PLAY. 1. The call itself. 2. Stopping our 5 on 4 advantage for an injury. Supposed to wait until the short-manned team gains control of the ball. 3. Allowing the "injured" player, that had been subbed out to return to...

    Lets compare 17 and 19

    It was a half-hearted jest. The title of the thread was comparing 2017 and 2019. I did just that. Perhaps I should have made that more obvious. Doesn't change the fact that what I wrote is absolutely true though. Lol I also followed up the overall tourney comparison with my opinion of the two...

    Lets compare 17 and 19

    2017: ACC media darlings gifted a win in the round of 32 when a blatent charge is disregarded and officials go on to make other egregious calls to enable them to win that game. They are gifted two other games by terrible officiating including one of the biggest screwjobs in NCAA tournament...

    The automatic 2 foul sit rule by Cal

    You can't win the game in the first half, but you can damn sure lose it. That is what we did today. EJ and Nick are simply not strong enough to play IN THIS GAME together. PJ and RT dominated the game at Rupp because of their strength. We could not afford to be without both of them for extended...

    One thing I can’t stand...

    In my experience, many of those people are contrarians. It is a "look at me" thing or an attempt to annoy others. I have seen people who do not even watch college basketball wear a Blue Devils shirt, apparently hoping for a reaction!
