Damn.

Great, great PC foul call against SU.

Whoever that was should go to final 4.

Agreed. Shoulder to the face.

Can you f@cking believe this.

I had UVM, changed my mind before submitting my brackets.

Unbelievable.

Wasn't real impressed with the T for hanging on the rim, though.

They missed a PC foul for the same thing about 2 minutes earlier. Warrick elbowed a player to create space and score. Only difference is that the player didn't go flying.

That T was a great call. I'm not for ticky-tack stuff but pulling yourself up on the rim to smack to board is a T. I think that's a POI.

Yep, it's a POE, although I didn't see the T.

POI - point of interest (wrong)
POE - point of emphasis (correct)

Whatever.

Did he smack the backboard?

Who received the technical, and at what point in the game did it occur? I just checked the box score, and it says there were no technicals...

The box score is wrong. I watched the game as it was played. The indirect technical foul was early in the second half. A Syracuse made a dunk to bring the score to 36-33 in favor of Vermont, and after dunking the ball with two hands, he slapped the backboard with his left hand before coming down.
Just to be clear the T was not for hanging on the ring, it was for slapping the backboard.

I thought that it was a good call and that the NCAA and NFHS should really crack down on this. It is basically taunting or showing off.

I had money on Syracuse and was happy to see this call made. It takes the lead on this particular play and allows us to follow up.

Actually, I thought the PC was a no-brainer! Swung his elbows/shoulder around to create space!
