Wow. If a ref took that much from us, I would have gone ballistic. (By us, I mean the high school team I coach.)

[soccer10k]

Crap.

one second isn't going to make a bit of difference.

 

Between 2 and 3.1? Yes, it would.

It can make a ton of difference, but the call was right. It wasn't out of bounds until it was touched by the guy at the scorer's table.

This is a great game. Not sure who the Tiger is on the sideline with his shirt off though. :?

 

I don't know either, but I'm wondering why they keep showing him every 3 seconds...

[CubinNY]

Go Buckeyes!

Are you serious?!?! Please tell me this is sarcasm.

A&M should have got one board.

 

C'mon, I asked you to drop it.

This is why I am not a premium member anymore, I agree it was bad officiating, but A&M needed just one board.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Go Buckeyes. Go UCLA.

[soccer10k]

One freaking defensive rebound. That's all they needed. Or if Acie would have made that layup.

 

One final four team gone.

good point

Thanks I wanted A&M to win though. Acie Law is a great story.

It makes a huge difference right there-if he had one more second he could have sidestepped that defender and then dribbled up to the 3 point line-with the time he had, all he time to do was sidestep the defender, so he just decided to launch the shot while straight on rather than moving to his right.

[Slugger_16]

Damn, I had A&M in the championship. I still have 3 of my Final Four and my champion though.

Well, go Tennessee and UCLA!!

Great argument. One second makes a huge difference in that situation.

Whether or not the call was right, 1.1 seconds from around midcourt is a HUGE difference.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

GO BRUINS!

It can make a ton of difference, but the call was right. It wasn't out of bounds until it was touched by the guy at the scorer's table.

 

It might not have been out of bounds until then (when watching the replay, I agree with that) but the referee's whistle blew well before that. I timed the time between the hand touching the ball and the whistle a few times with my stopwatch-it should have been about 2.7 on the clock.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

aTm was my Facebook champion, so I'm screwed there. I'm the only one in my money pool that has UCLA winning it all(and one of only a couple that has them in the Final 4) so I'm now a big Bruin fan.

Yes. Maybe one more dribble and 3 more feet. Increases the shot percentage by a lot I'm sure.

Four minutes until gametime. I'm pretty freaking nervous right now. :shock:

You shouldn't be nervous, you guys are the underdog. No pressure on you.
