Quotes from Greg McDermott on JVB's buzzer beater


“There is no monitor. We’ll never know. Actually we will know because they counted it. We had as good of an officiating crew as you could ask for. If they say it counted, it counted.â€￾

“They let us know that before the game. They told both coaches. It is unfortunate because you hate to have a game decided when you don’t know for sure. But the reality is that I’ve got all of the confidence in that officiating crew. If they said that it was off before the light went on, then it was off.â€￾


I have a lot more stuff on the way.

Very classy by GMac. He didn't complain and accepted it.

 

[sodakjoe]

Yeah...we'll see what he says when he sees the video/images.

 

[ISUAgronomist]

Well, I'd say that (almost) makes up for the Kansas phantom 3 during free throws that we all remember so well.

Here's what Mac had to say when asked about how he'll feel tomorrow after he sees some evidence of a poor call.

“We have no rearview mirror in our car. We are moving this baby forward. You can’t live like that.”

First I saw of the video. No way he got that off in time.

I'll take it, though. :yes:

Wasn't able to see this -- no TV & wasn't at home to track online. Checked the gameflow -- battled back from a 12-point second-half deficit, is that correct? Very nice.

Now, to avoid getting behind by 12 ...

Classy by McD, but, fortunately, he is wrong.

Here is McDermott's post game presser video.

The pictures only show the red light. In reviews, officials use clock, not the red light, as they've had issues with the red light going on before the clock acutally hits 0:00. I wonder if anyone has a picture with the clock in it?

Very good to live by. 1 Loss isn't going to ruin your season. Dwelling on a loss and messing up other games because of it will.

I honestly don't care. It makes up for the ******** calls earlier in the game.
Did anyone see the creighton students after the game? Holy smokes.

I told my wife that I didn't think they were going to count it. That was a long 1.7. I was holding my breath until the players were done shaking hands.

You could almost say JVB earned the benefit of the doubt on that one. Great shot, even if it was a split second late. Kind of like not calling touchy fouls at the end of a game situation and just let the kids decide it.

 

[CloneState1028]

Looks weird seeing him in front of our ISU background again.

 

[EddieISU]

A call that finally went our way. Regardless if replay or photo shows differently. We have been on the short end of the stick too many times over the years and I'm personally happy we got it.

That shot was so close to the buzzer, nobody could fault the refs for missing it without any monitors to review. The bigger complaint I would have if I was Creighton is that it seemed the clock took 1-2 seconds of possession before it even started moving.

Exactly....I've been complaining about the no call on the obvious charging, but the second foul was questionable as well. It was a mad scramble and a wild shot. Very rare to see a foul called in that situation.

What did the CU students do?

 

[isugcs]

So we've played Northern Arizona, Ala State and next up Kennesaw State. Creighton has Kennesaw State up next according to McD presser. What's going on? Why are we playing all the same teams as Creighton? Are we in some round robin or something?

 

[CloneState1028]

Leave it to Matt P to whine about that. I like how GMac kind of stuck it to him.
