Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

[Castlevania]

So like what the panel was saying, the call is not reviewable. BUT, I think the NCAA should add a Challenge rule. Where, maybe one time per game, possibly only within the last 5 minutes of the game, a ref's decision can be challenged by a coach. Making a call reversible. If they lose the Challenge, they lose a timeout.

99 out 100 times that ends in a foul, but there is no excuse for missing it at a critical moment that probably cost game. I’d like to see each side have one right to replay review in tournament games. That was an easy overturn.

Why? It’s house money. Nobody expects anything. I’m up at 12:32 on a work night watching.

Hates this team, wants it to end.

My Kentucky friend who texts with us every day about Cal and how annoyed he is with him has gone dark...

 

[superjohn]

That call was hilarious. You expect it in Phog, not so much in the tournament.

 

[61cygni]

Truly an embarrassment. Would have made a fantastic one shining moment clip.

This dude cares way more than Calipari does...

Imagine how much that kid would cry if he got to play with our staff.

So many reviews in that KU game. They should only do reviews if a team challenges a call- and if they lose the challenge they lose a timeout. Already out of Timeouts? No challenge.
And I have no problem if they challenge fouls like the Sanford "foul"

NIL is not good for commercials. Caitlin Clark and Armando Bacot are great players, but the most God awful actors I've ever seen. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

I've lived abroad for a decade and don't watch US TV aside from March madness and every time a game goes to commercial it is so jarring for me. They are ALL so freaking bad. I mean they couldn't be that bad unless they were doing it on purpose levels of awful. I make good use of the mute button. Maybe if people are living stateside year round they just get used to the commercials. But dear lorrrrrd, are they painfully annoying.

Dreadful call he had an awful angle and had no right blowing that whistle. They must’ve felt bad for the shorthanded Jayhawks

Renowned for... what ?

 

[DRBackup]

Anarchy??!!? It's like 4 year eligibility in college sports was handed down to Moses on a third stone tablet or something

 

[DRBackup]

Drake was up 8 with 8 minutes to go, lost.

Last year against eventual F4 participant Miami, they were up 8 with 6 minutes to go, lost.

Rough

That's ok. In 2004, Duke was up 8 with under 2 minutes to go... and lost

 

[CTBasketball]

It was clean but there were no refs down to even see it.

Don’t defend that, we should’ve hung you this year @Deepster messed up. Red coat!

All ball, but the requirements for an all ball block are just different when you’re playing Kansas

Give three off court refs a monitor at home. All challenges should be decided in seconds.

If the challenger loses, they should lose more than a time out.

 

[Leebo]

Unsurprisingly, Kansas fans think they got screwed for the entire rest of the game, so they don't care that the block was good.

 

[August_West]

Kansas gifted a game by the refs? Color me shocked!

 

[Tenspro2002]

I understand that ref's have a really difficult job and 9 out of 10 times a play like that results in a foul, but that was a clean block (and what an impressive play!). It a shame we didn't get the chance to see some madness there at the end.

We pay them to get those calls right. Otherwise any of us could be doing this from the stands.

Samford got away with a lot of the same things we complain about Providence getting away with. But it's the tournament and that's just how it is.

I think it’s a synonym for unsuccessful

 

[GlastonTim]

Don’t know if this has been said yet, but there has to be bench challenge at the end of games. Or one per half like football. Only remedy possible.

Agreed, Kansas sure got a rough whistle

 

[MilliniumPrince]

It would be cool to watch see Kansas vs Purdue just to see the refs self-combust
