Good officiating. Thank god Ogelsby did the game. Nobody better and the Big 12s best

Contact before the drug foot.

WRONG. His foot was sliding LONG before anyone was near him. In a scramble like that you have to see that ****. You could feel the travel, it was that bad. Plainly missed call. Your can't let a bad play by the offense to turn into ball in hand and 2 shots. EOS.

 

[BigLame]

No, he left his feet.

Where?

 

[jcf817]

No, he left his feet.

So… if you’re dribbling down the floor and both feet are off the floor at the same time, it’s an automatic travel?

 

[BCClone]

Where?

When he jumped to shoot, both feet left the ground.

I know Sampson is a HOF coach but they actually ran no offense in the second half. Lots of possessions where they just dribbled 30 feet from the basket and then try to make a one on one move at the end of the shot clock while the defense collapsed on them. Really bad last 5 minutes.

 

[jcf817]

Once you leave the ground it’s either pass or shoot

Right. So you can’t leave the floor while dribbling…ever…it would seem.

So… if you’re dribbling down the floor and both feet are off the floor at the same time, it’s an automatic travel?

No, but you are in the act of dribbling. If you are in full position of the ball not dribbling, then when both feet leave the ground you have to get rid of the ball.

What a gross end to that game. Houston really fell apart. Some may disagree but I think that’s a meltdown. Just take a few better shots on offense and you maintain your lead and you aren’t in that end of game situation

Did he hsve one or two hands on the ball?

This was one of the worst NCAA tournaments in memory. Some good games in there, as mentioned, but yuck. At least Duke didn't win.

Yeah, glad Duke didn't win another one and although I wanted Houston to win tonight and they had many opportunities to do so, that win against Duke in the semis was huge!

 

[cayin]

I felt like the game turned a little when Florida got the T. After that they started calling a lot on Houston.

 

[jspeels]

Refs got their script. SEC gets their champ. Gross! 19-11 foul differential. Fla had 1 in first half, 5 in first 3 minutes of second half and then 5 for the remaining 17 minutes. And you can’t tell me they weren’t just a physical as Houston was!

 

[FallOf81]

WOW. That was a.massive Duke like f up. The rich get richer in the SEC.

 

[Jonyrose]

Or dribble if you have not dribbled previously in that current possession

Always looks weird when you see it live, but if you didn’t pick up your dribble, you can throw it down and not travel

 

[BigLame]

When he jumped to shoot, both feet left the ground.

He didn't "leave his feet" anywhere then? Leaving your feet has never made sense.

 

[StLouisClone]

Why is that a travel, though?
Never dribbled. Put the ball down while in the air. He just needs to dribble it instead of hold it.

That's right. As long as Sharp doesn't pick it up, he could have maintained his dribble and kept the play alive. Total bonehead move by Sharp to just let the ball go free.

 

[packattack425]

Was he in the huddle when ISU tied the game at Tech?

Maybe my memory is bias but I feel like we haven’t been great in final possessions.

 

[cyclone87]

Houston just needed another shot or two down the stretch to hold on. Foul trouble for Francis and Tugler hurt them big too.
