NCAA Tournament - Iowa State

Re: NCAA Tournament - Iowa State

not reviewable, i dont think enough evidence they would have overturned it if they could. SMU guy should have let it hit the rim anyway...

This... technically if it were going to hit the rim, it was a good call. He clearly thought it was going to be an air ball and instincts were to go up and get the air ball. But not smart to take the chance, gotta let that go. Tough play and way to lose.

texas education system...they do well at teaching stupid here

Thought it was a good call on the goaltending. Tough judgement to make in an instant and it appears correct on replays.

Also was thinking how if that were us, we would have been boxing the other guy out and that ball airballs out of bounds or glances off the rim down inside a ring of Panthers.

Re: NCAA Tournament - Iowa State

you know i'm not completely sure now the way things are going but my best bracket may just be the one i totally just screwed around with and picked lots of upsets and had UNI vs. ISU in the final 4 and beating UK in the title game may not be so far fetched now. Got Buffalo, EWU, SFA, and Dayton all winning in upsets still

9-11 for Alford from 3...unreal.

Re: NCAA Tournament - Iowa State

I think it was a bad call. The rule apparently says that the ball needs to have a chance to go in. That had none. Tough for officials in live play. Should be reviewable.

Alford falls up more than any other coach in America.

Re: NCAA Tournament - Iowa State

i read somewhere...or so saw somewhere...someone picked no BIG 12 teams would be in the elite 8. shoot there might not be a single Big 12 team in the sweet 16 if WSU does some good work sunday

Well can't speak for where you saw it, but I didn't have any B12 teams making the E8. I had 3 losing in the first round, which now looks like its gonna be 1 or 2 lite. I had OK, Baylor, and ISU making the S16 and losing there. 2 out of 3 gone alreay

Glad to see Texas lose, as they should have never made it in anyways. Hoping SMU holds on against UCLA for same reason...

Maybe because UCLA was easily the least deserving team in the field?

Given how overrated the B12 is turning out to have been I'm worried we may not see that WSU/KU matchup because KU may not make it. If they do I think WSU whips them.

I'm not sure no the rule but according to the announcers the rule is if it is going to touch the rim, not whether it has a chance to go in. Again, not sure if the announcers are right about the rule or not.

Re: NCAA Tournament - Iowa State

Well he touches it when its past the midway point of the rim and when you look at the other angle it is clear to me anyway that it would not hit the rim. Also the last line of the rule says that it's goaltending "as long as it has the possibility of entering the basket".

Good first day of the tourney so far though. These are my favorite two sports days of the year.

I can't think of anything less interesting than an individual telling me who they picked in their bracket.

Yes, but crazy things can happen with rims, so if it was any chance of hitting the rim, no matter how far off it looks like it will be, you have to assume there is a "chance". That had about a .0000001% chance of still going in but you still can't touch it.

Unfortunate end to the game, I wanted SMU to knock out UCLA. I didn't think they or Texas should have played today over other teams like Murray, Richmond, Colorado St, etc...

Agreed. Followed closely by someone telling me who they have playing in a NFL Thursday night game from their fantasy football team. Followed more closely by the constant obsession with what ISU fans think of us.

Right? Close competitive games. Exciting shots and plays. This has been awesome. Hopefully the Panthers come out and don't have any controversy or bone-head plays negatively affect their game.

VCU imploding...they REALLY miss their injured star. They look lost offensively.
