The climaxer at the back? :shock:

Dammit, that was a travel before that Ramon three-pointer.

 

MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Dammit, a repeat of the Indiana game. Only a 5-pt Bruin lead.

These refs have gotten whistle happy this half. That's part of why we can't get the tempo up.

OSU in the double bonus with over 8 to go.

That and tOSU decided to play some D.

Thank you, Mike Roll.

Most of what's being called is ticky-tack stuff. They're letting other more obvious stuff go. And this is both ways, not just against UT.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Make. Your. Free. Throws.

Tennessee is imploding. :(

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I wish Verne would let us know how big Tennessee's biggest lead was...

[Outshined_One]

How many people under 60 use "vim and vigor"?

No kidding, it's getting silly.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

How many people under 140 use "vim and vigor"?

 

Fixed.

[Andy]

Woohoo! My first correct pick of the round, UCLA.

 

Now come on Buckeyes.

[Outshined_One]

Quit showboating you morons!

[dew1679666265]

Oden coming back in, hopefully for his fifth foul.

[Outshined_One]

Aaaaaaaaaaand here come 25 OSU free throws.

[dew1679666265]

Woohoo! My first correct pick of the round, UCLA.

 

Now come on Buckeyes.

 

Why don't you go away til this game ends? :wink:

It's a good thing for you that he picked the Buckeyes -- he doesn't know what he's doing.

[dew1679666265]

Aaaaaaaaaaand here come 25 OSU free throws.

 

And at least half of them have been ticky-tack crap.

[CubColtPacer]

LOL-now they are trying to correct what they said (at halftime of the UT-OSU game) and say the refs were right to take that time off in the Memphis game, completely ignoring the fact that the whistle blew. Even when they correct themselves, they can't get it right :D

I was under the impression that there isn't a football-level strictness regarding those kinds of situations, especially when there's a split-second difference.

 

Not usually, but when looking at a clock situation like they were, it is strict like that where the whistle is the absolute end of the play.

But since the clock never even started, would that still be the case?

 

The answer is I think yes, since it says in the timers responsibility that the clock is to be stopped even on any inadvertent whistle, but that's an interesting situation that I'm not sure the rules cover that for sure. It would be my understanding that it would have to stop on the whistle because the whistle stops the play (what is there had been somebody running to save it who stopped because of the whistle for example-they shouldn't be penalized for all the extra time that came off the clock before it actually went out of bounds), but I'm not sure the NCAA ever envisioned a scenario quite like that.

Judging by my bracket so far, I'm inclined to agree with you.

Come on Vols!!
