If I was blindfolded, and the announcers weren't talking, I would know there was a KU home game on from the constant incoherent noises.

Blew the whistle........then had to go to the monitor to see what they should call. Unbelievable! It was going to be a two shot foul for Mason. Then......seeing they f d up.....well, look, Lucas was nudged, so let's call that. Grow some balls Fran and call a spade a spade buddy!
I still don't get that call. Lucas runs into The OU players and attempts to push him under the basket to clear a lane for Graham. The OU player holds his ground by pushing back. Graham runs right into Lucas so OU is called for a foul? Why can the offensive player initiate contact and push but the defensive player isn't allowed to? The refs anticipated a foul like they do every time Mason or Graham drive to the basket and saved face by saying Lucas was actually the one that got fouled when they realized they blew the original call.
Im all for calling out the KU bias, but that was absolutely the right call. The "nudge" sent Lucas into Mason and effected the shot. That call has to be made.
Probably explains why they bow out early in the tournament, they don't fare well on a level court.
Not watching. But how on earth could a shooting foul be called on someone that didn't even have the ball? It can't unless they just happen to be in the bonus.
The explanation was OU player pushed Lucas into KU player that was going up for a shot, so it was a shooting foul, but Lucas was the one who was fouled so he shot the FTs.
I understand......but if you think that "nudge" was the original call then you are incorrect. You don't go to the monitor to verify that. You go because you KNOW your original call was pure BS and you need to cover your a**. Fortunately for them there was a "nudge". However I am sure they could have found something somewhere on that possession to call against OU to justify their whistle.
I feel like there's a 1 in 10 chance @randomfan44 has hacked this account. Impressive given they are probably at the game.
(Is a jimlad really necessary?)
I know it wasn't the original call, but it was 100% the right call, and replay confirmed it. No question Lucas effected the shot, and no question why Lucas effected the shot.
'Means...too much' from Self in reference to his seniors.
I took that as him saying they're trying too hard to make sure their senior night is a win like it cements their legacy or something.
Something to remember for tomorrow---the result of the OSU game doesn't define ISU's team, season, or seniors.

Mason doesn't even try to score when he gets to the hoop, just looks for the nearest defender to launch himself into.
If KU loses and wins, and we win and win, that loss against KU is going to hurt a lot worse.
