Actually, that play 100% cost us the game. The fact that we played poorly is immaterial to the fact LSU actually won the game on a blown call. That’s a fact.
SCREW JOB
- Thread starter Cowboys&Wildcats
- Start date
That charges me up more than the non reviewable goaltend call bc it coulda shoulda been reviewed
Hagans/Quickley **** the bed
Hagans - 4 points, 0 free throws, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 0 turnovers
Quickley - 3 points, 0 free throws, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 turnovers
Hagans - 4 points, 0 free throws, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 0 turnovers
Quickley - 3 points, 0 free throws, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 turnovers
The fact that we played poorly doesn’t negate the fact we got screwed twice on the game winning play.
Not even gonna hate on Quickley tonight. He was terrific on defense the entire game.
Calm down. EJ's hand got caught in the net and he made the rim move with the impact. When the ball hit the rim, you can see the backboard moving. Ease up on the name calling. It's a regular season loss. The world will keep spinning tomorrow.
Yeah, by rule that is NOT defensive goaltending. Read the rules.
Touching the ball while it’s on the rim or in the cylinder. It’s not complicated. The ball was obviously in the cylinder when it was tipped in. It’s not even in dispute. They simply blew the call.
Is the game that play? Or is the game 40 minutes? Are you saying the previous 39 minutes and 59 seconds are irrelevant untill that call? Which by the way was offensive basket interference .You can't depend on others to be successful .They had their chances! They failed and lost as a team.
When up until that point the teams have played to a draw, yes.
LSU was given the win with the non-call of basket interference, but the player did not even come close to stepping out of bounds. Watch a replay. That photo must have been taken at an angle where the scorers table seems to be the court, but it is not. The guys foot is not within 2 feet of the sideline.
Idiots or not, I wish everyone yelling goaltending would read the rules. Number 1, it wasn't goaltending because the rules state that only a defensive player can goaltend. The only possible goaltend was Montgomery's arm through the net and basket immediately before the non-call being disputed. In the ref's judgement Montgomery's action did not cause the rim to move or vibrate so it was not goaltending. Whether or not forcefully moving the net has no effect on the rim is not for me to say, but Newton's third law makes it appear unlikely. Number 2, the LSU player certainly appeared to have committed basket interference (not goaltending) based on the replay angle from above the rim. But, the ref didn't have a view from that angle until the game clock review and could not legally call basket interference at that point. Calling the refs crook or worse is sour grapes and ignores reality.
