Re: March Madness: The Thread

Howard gets shoved in the back and gets a foul called on him. That makes sense.

 

like i was saying, between the moving screens up high and basically standing in the lane shoving and reaching over people on the offensive boards, zoubek has to commit about 30 fouls a game. i have no idea how he doesn't foul out all the time. he's the white reggie love.

[Jon]

Howard is the only guy not allowed to swing wildly under the basket, apparently.

[Terp]

Is Clark Kellogg really irritating anyone else tonight?

[TruffleShuffle]

such horse crap

[SpongeWorthy]

Howard is the only guy not allowed to swing wildly under the basket, apparently.

 

I mean that was clearly a foul on Howard.

[imb]

is anyone else bracing themselves for jim nantz to say THE BUTLER.... DID IT if the bulldogs win because you know it's coming

[Andy]

Butler is 13 minutes from winning the national championship.

 

It never stops looking weird.

They're all clearly fouls.

[CubbieBum]

I think the game has been reffed pretty well but the refs have definitely treated Howard differently. They have allowed loads of contact but every time Howard touched someone they called a foul.

The sad thing is, Nantz isn't really that bad a play by play guy. He's a bit vanilla, but tolerable. Those stupid staged endings are his only real flaw, but it's so glaringly dumb.

I suggest you rewind the DVR before making knee jerk reactions to ref decisions. It wasn't even bordering on a close call against Howard.

clark kellogg has irritated people the entire tournament.

Nantz is the perfect announcer for golf and I look forward to him announcing the Masters every year but he is not good for quick action sports.

what about his third foul? i suggest you rewind the DVR back to that one.

[Flames24Rulz]

The fourth foul was a no-doubter, but the third one was extremely questionable.

 

That being said, Howard's an idiot. Time and time again, it just seems like he continues to play over-aggressive whenever he's in foul trouble. Picking up his fourth foul this early in the game is asinine.

[Vanilla Ice]

I'm not a crazy duke fan but..

 

Howard has been playing stupidly all half. It was only a matter of time before he got his 3rd and 4th

Again, they're all clearly fouls.

 

Don't randomly call a few fouls when the same thing is happening on every play. Either call it or don't.

[Jon]

And a charge right under the basket? He wasn't even set...

[Butterscup1679666578]

Not a charge.

[Andy]

Scheyer's feet were moving on that charge

[CubbieBum]

Scheyer was sliding the whole time.

[17 Seconds]

typical pathetic officiating helping duke

[Careless]

Definitely a call for Duke-haters to get upset about

[Guest]

Another call goes Duke's way.

[Andy]

Zoubek with 4 now, whoa.
