Exciting game, CSU played well. On the winning shot, did Queen walk? I counted three steps bl after he picked up the dribble and before he took the shot.
OT: UMd Buzzer Beater

- Start date
yes, he traveled. i didn’t need to see the reply to call it, it was so obvious.
Seems like a lot of big ten teams advancing for such a mediocre conference
Who cares? No one is calling one extra step from the big guy there.
Thought same thing about Colorado state playing their tails off on defense. Pike left Maryland wide open on 3’s when they killed us.
I could hear fan at the rac who yells step and a half all game to yell step and a half times 2
Very few refs call that travel in that situation. CSU should have denying him the ball near the basket
What do you mean? He caught the ball outside the three point arc and drove to the basket.
Queen was best freshman in conference this year !
And was cool as a cucumber in a heavy filled pressure matter !

If you consider today you are allowed a “gather” step, it’s clean, no travel. Seen MUCH worse.
I call myself old school but totally agree that this was not a travel. Not sure what some of you are watching.
Ace had some struggles this year but to say he was not a positive difference maker for our team is crazy. Most of the rest of the roster was the problem, but not Ace and Dylan. https://www.barttorvik.com/playerst...ear=2025&minmin=0&start=20241101&end=20250501
For most of the years I've been watching basketball that was absolutely a travel. But not in today's game, where rules have been changed, bent and ignored in the name of SCORING.
All sports have been engineered in the "Money Era" to make them more entertaining to Joe Sixpack, who loves slam dunks, home runs and long bombs. I thought sports were better before this happened, but nobody asked me. And forget about comparing today's players to those from even a decade ago. They're playing a different game...

I don’t think it was a travel 2 steps to the basket. He just has large steps which gives the appearance of 3 steps
In my view, opinions will largely shake out by age. Geezers like me can't process all the "gather/pocket" and "Eurostep" stuff (and many other things). But that's not the way the game is called anymore. Us old guys need to go back to shouting at clouds...

No worse than what happens multiple times in today's game, particularly when guys are driving the lane thru traffic. Not gonna change course and call it there.
On another note - it was unbelievable they didn't call Clifford (#10) for hooking his defender and basically throw him to the ground.
Refs let them play all game which favored CSU imo. Huge contrast to the St John's game where every shot in the paint was a foul. Even the coaches had 4 fouls in that game.
MD deserved a break after their last 4 losses came at the buzzer.
Ha ha, during that last timeout I was cataloguing all of the losses this year (not all were buzzer beaters, but all were close as hell). I was thinking it was fitting for the season to end with another long dagger three.
By the way, I wasn't watching, I had it on ESPN gamecast, as I usually do, and was viewing the game comments in the TKR thread. All I saw was the number under UMD change from "70" to "72". I'm a feeble fan...
anyone saying that was a travel hasn't been watching basketball for the last two seasons. that gather step is done 20x a game.
i didn't even consider it was a travel watching it live until i got on social media...
I've always been amazed at how players know what spot to aim for on the backboard, depending on where they are and how they are moving (and probably other things). Also, LOL at Julian Reese tripping and sprawling during the celebration. I'm sure he was the first to laugh about it...
