If anyone has this TIVO'ed watch what happens to the ball.......If I remember it correctly, a KU player catches the ball....he then slams the ball down and it goes off his foot into the crowd. Can anyone confirm this?

It goes a few feet above his head but doesn't go into the crowd. I wasn't sure about this at first when I saw it last night but after talking about it in the chat room and reading the threads here, I am inclined to agree that not calling the T was correct. Billy Packer thought it was the best call of the tournament I think....

A large part of me would like to say that they should've stuck him for it. I think displays like that look bad and sends a poor message to younger players, but not calling the T was the correct thing to do in this situation.

The point is not if it sends a poor message to other players. That's not the determing factor if you call it or not. I understand what you're commenting on though.
