Conference Tournaments

So I was watching Akron vs Miami live with my Tivo last night. I still had the game on Tivo so I took out my stopwatch. I haven't got a clue as to how they got 6.0 seconds from the first touch until the ball hits the net. I personally get 7 or more every time.

Either way, I am looking forward to see some clarification on how this should be handled in future.

Jurassic - I think that ESPN.com story was updated. I read it a few times last night before posting, and did not see any mention of a quote from the referee.

That said, I went back to the video and timed the play myself. While I realize that the officiating crew had better equipment than I did, I never came up with anywhere near six seconds. My times (over 5 trials) ranged between 7.64 and 7.83 seconds, with a median of 7.70 seconds.

I think everyone realizes what the refs did to try to correct the mistake but, at this point, I have to think that they erred in doing so.

Another great......posit.

Trying to figure out who's on the court. I know Donnee Gray and Jim Burr. Can anyone tell who the third official is?

Ted Hilary.

BTW, JR, the actual game clock, despite starting late, can be seen on the video running all the way down from 6.6 to 0.0 while the ball is still in the net. What does that tell you? Do you still think that Lamont Simpson's timing of 6.0 was correct or did the play really take longer than that?

Yes, until or unless I hear something to the contrary issued from the proper and applicable NCAA authority, I think that I'll go with the official on the spot who had the use of a correct replay and a stopwatch to make a decision. I think that Simpson's version is a little more credible than taking the version of some ESPN talking head or a fanboy watching it on tv. I'm funny like that, Nevada.

But hey, if you think that it's the modern-day version of the Zapruder tapes, knock yourself out.

Agreed, that quote from Lamont Simpson wasn't in the article last night. I don't think that he is lying, I just think that he blew it with the stopwatch. Perhaps he stopped the watch when the ball entered the basket, instead of when it passed through the net.

Ohio State clobbered Wisconsin by 17. This brings up two questions: Where will Wisconsin end up in the seedings and of course how good will Ohio State be next year with Jon Diebler in the line up?

1. Probably a 2 seed.
2. Isn't he turning pro?

1) Don't step in your posit.
