***The Final Four Thread***

God I hate the college zebras. What a sad state of affairs for a game that used to be so great.
 
I think it's silly how many jump ball calls I've seen in recent years. I think it should take at least 2 seconds of obvious tie up before calling that - let the guys scrum a bit!
 
Why do these refs love being the center of attention in the last 60 seconds of games
 
Bad call.

Not sure how there can be a jump ball call in a fraction of a second.

Took away WSU's opportunity to tie the game at the end. For shame.
 
Ref inserted himself into the game at a point when it was not feasible to make that call. 10 min. in... okay. But 20 sec. to go in a 3 pt game? No way. That's the problem. It's all about context. That's why we lost multiple important games this year. Are refs supposed to call consistently, even if it affects outcomes of games? Or should they let the players decide? I would argue for the latter.

The best outcome possible, in my mind, would be the team that would have won in the Lied in an honest pickup game, to win the game in real life. For real...

- there was only a few seconds left, not 20.
- call should always be the same regaledless of time on the clock. Not sure why people think it should be different.

You could say that the players made the play in the sense of both players getting their hands on the ball.
 
It was a bad call.

Watch it again. Baker had turned away from the struggle with possession, before the whistle blew.

Not that WSU deserved to win. Didn't do anything to countpunch Louisville in the last 10 minutes.
