There is no reason a 4th referee can't simply check and then update the 3 game officials in the NCAAT. It'd be tough for every game, but it should happen here.

 

[Game Se7en]

That rule may be changed after tonight. Just totally ignorant not to look at that at the half!!

They could have fixed it immediately when Houston took a TO. What a joke.

 

[ala_kat2]

That's true for common fouls, but that's not how it works for goaltending.

I think it is but I’m not a ref.

 

[bigcat24]

SO GLAD I get to watch it! Cause if duke was in it …. I wouldn’t be ! Couldn’t take that chance, lol .

I am with you - I wouldn't be watching if puke was playing.

 

[Wildskatfan]

UH’s mindset based on Coach’s mindset. That’s not Pope’s baileywick (hard *** toughness). Not many coaches can match Sampson’s intensive coaching on defense. He has athletes with length and determination.

Which is why I said ( and have said) we need to get a a strength and conditioning coach to help make our guys tougher and in peak shape.
It's no coincidence both UT and Houston have studs in that department.

 

[rick64]

Only 4 total fouls called so far. Bet that changes in the 2nd half.

 

[ala_kat2]

...and the UH players were immediately signaling for a call/review.

Refs have swallowed their whistles or closed their eyes. I bet they tighten the whistle in the second half.

Yeah that's kind of wild

As good as Houston is on D, they tend to foul a lot.

It can’t hurt to have someone solely focusing on putting serious girth on the players. Pope nearly used the football team for practice last year so why not. I don’t think it’s a bad idea

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

Do coaches still teach shooters to have their feet directly below their shoulders on a jumper? Nearly every 3pt shot I’ve seen, the shooters have one foot in front of the other.

 

[NavyCat88]

Oooooo...that was a tough blocking call on the UF player in the low post. Looked like a charge

 

[CatOfDaVille]

I think it is but I’m not a ref.

Yeah you must be right because they didn't give them the 2 points at halftime. That's BS.

 

[sefus12]

Houston player drives his shoulder through Condon, Condon called for the block. Not sure that shoudl be a foul with the way the game has been called.

 

[RoyKent]

Houston jacking up awful threes all over the place

 

[sefus12]

Wow, Houston getting a Duke whistle this half.

 

[hotelblue]

3 on florida in 2 minutes.

Walter Clayton's performance in tonight's title game:

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

Screwing Florida .. Houston kinda has the Texas AM approach.. play football til they stop it .

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

What is UF doing LOL

It would also help in the injury department.
I know some may not necessarily agree with that, but I'm telling you a tougher body doesn't get bounced around as much/end up on the floor as much.
For sure it doesn't stop all injuries, but every thing positive in regards Kentucky should be about with our history of injuries/bad luck with injuries.

 

[hotelblue]

and another. 4 fouls on florida

 

[NavyCat88]

I guess UF is trying to be tough guys when they're not tough guys

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Apparently Houston never fouls. 3 fouls so far lol

 

[sefus12]

Ha, these officials have their orders and it’s to make sure Houston wins.

The stripes were looking for any reason to T up Florida.

 

[hotelblue]

What is UF doing LOL

trying to be overly physical to match houston. it’s backfired. 6 fouls now in 4 minutes.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

They haven’t called that **** all game . Screwing Florida

 

[ck-2]

Doug Sirmons. What a joke.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

What a weak *** call.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

Call it correctly in first half, this isn't happening

 

[wildcat1515]

Refs just ruined this game !!

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Doug Sirmons. What a joke.

Total clown show. The refs have totally taken Florida out of their game now.

 

[hotelblue]

sorry, 5 fouls in 3 minutes, plus a technical.

 

[Catluv]

They could have fixed it immediately when Houston took a TO. What a joke.

I looked it up if the refs don’t call goaltending it can’t be changed. I think that is totally stupid!!

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Florida could have so easily been knocked out of this tournament against Uconn, and Maryland, and Auburn.. their sloppy and lackadaisical play is catching up to them. Houston aint gonna let them back in if this gets out of hand, they will railroad them.

 

[ck-2]

Doug Sirmons and Doug Shows reffing a final four should tell you all you need to know about the ncaa.

 

[hotelblue]

4 fouls in 20 minutes. now 7 whistles in 3.

 

[sefus12]

Yea, officials can’t allow teams to wrestle in the first half only to call so much sh*t to start the second half. Kills the flow of the game.

 

[chasingwildcat]

Flroida is done

congratulations to houston

 

[NavyCat88]

Clayton with the pass to the ghost man!

 

[The_Catfather]

Clayton seeing ghosts!
