Holy, Duke and WVU are hammering the $h!t outta each other...

New mechanics?
 

Anyone else notice a handful of times where we've had two L officials (both men's and women's sides)? The K-State/UW-Madison game just had a foul whistled in the paint, with one official on each side of the lane - both called it.

Please tell me this is some new mechanic of which I haven't been informed.

That said, if any of the officials are caving under the pressure, I'm sure a few people on here are more than willing to take over for them.

We just noticed it in KState/Wisconsin, (edited to add) as you said.

looked like it might have been intentional, but of course, that's hard to imagine. Still, it did give an excellent angle on lots and lots of contact/

Wis - KS
 

That was TOTALLY a block.

And why did the C run all the way in to make the call (and the wrong one at that)?

Mark - Juulie - might be an over-anxious C going too low down? :confused:

might be

but it's hard to tell. He was totally set up. THey both were. I'm gonna go back and replay pretty soon, but the it wasn't obvious at the instant.

why don't you come into the chat room to discuss these things?
we're having fun!

how bout posting the link. Keep having to find post 69.

Self-help. I like that.

Also, there's a thread called "Chat Room -- with link" by Eyezen. I just Bttt'd iit. Or you could bookmark.

The timing difficulties are getting ridiculous in the Xavier/Purdue game. Can the NCAA start utilizing PTS please?

yup. you're right. We've got one of the companies that they list, but apparently that company has chosen not to put it into our neighborhood (I'll restrain my comments about living inside the red line...). So I'll be spending a lot of time at the local sports bar.

I'm sure this will come up after the season - 3 times in the last 90 seconds the refs went to the table.......

Stanford - Marquette. I noticed that when Lopez of Stanford scored the final bucket with 1.3 to go in OT, one of his teammates came close to going out on the floor to celebrate but another teammate grabbed his jersey and pulled him back. Smart.

Of course it was followed by a State Farm commercial that showed what ostensibly was an NCAA official wearing a shirt with a collar. It wouldn't have cost them anything to research that. Can't have confidence in a company that stupid. ;)

How about the ejection of Trent Johnson in that game!
I'm pretty sure the guy deserved it but do any of you have opinions?

ha. the shirt with the collar. Way to go Stanford.
Stanford ast. coach: ok here is the game plan. Give the ball to a Lopez. The rest of you guys go grab them a coke.
CBS needs to cut down on all the ads...

The guy deserved it.
