Terps lose again.....

Late in the 2nd half Miami is at the line shooting two as a Terp has fouled out. The announcers are screaming as Md only has 4 players on the court. Gary Williams sends someone on the court in the middle of the free throws and goes balistic on his assistants..... how could they let that happen? Gary sweats, he rants, he raves, he gestures.....same ole, same ole!

Another squandered opportunity for Md to get back on the Nat'l scene.....

That doesn't sound good for the officials either.

NC State 85, Duke 80 in OT

[BktBallRef]

In the ACC, three games - three upsets, based on seeding.

11 seconds left, Duke inbounds the ball, dribbles to half court, the clock starts late.

Officials stop the clock, RESET theclock, and GO BACK to the endline.

IOW, a DO OVER!

If MTD was watching, I'm sure he had a stroke!!

Louisville survives in 2OT, 82-71 over West Virginia.

What did I miss? The paramedics just took the oxygen mask off me.

I guess the NCAAM are going to have to put out a bulletin similar to the NCAAW that specifies "no do-overs."

Is is becoming apparent to anyone else that Duke just isn't that good this year and doesn't deserve an NCAA at-large berth? They will probably get in anyway due to their past and the name on the jersey.

At this rate, I'm picking Wake to win the ACC Tournament. I may be correcting myself in an hour or so though.

In my opinion, Sosa clearly traveled before scoring the tying basket at the end of regulation. Since WV loses the game, and could miss out on the NCAA tournament due to their loss, it turns out that this was a huge decision.

St. Louis over UMass in OT 74-71. Someone else on the bubble is very happy.

Hmmm, travel or not, I don't think you let someone go coast to coast uncontested. Bad "D" costs WV the game, IMO.

I may be wrong, but I believe what happened is that the clock started before the throw-in ended and then the clock stopped when Duke player started dribbling.

No mention about numbers in the rule:
NCAA Rule 3-5 Art. 7. A commemorative/memorial patch, flag or ribbon is permitted within the 4-inch side insert of the game jersey, anywhere on the game pants, anywhere on warm-up suits and within the area of the game jersey between the base of the front neckline and the shoulder seam of the jersey. When the commemorative/memorial patch or ribbon is on the shoulder strap of the game jersey, it shall be sewn on or attached with Velcro.
