NCAAM Final Game

[Camron Rust]

Wow...what a miserable game. Neither team should be awarded the trophy for that game. UConn was just less bad.

Did anyone see the blatant 2-hand shove foul with around 6 minutes remaining? Napier, IIRC, was going up for a loose ball (after Butler knocked away that ill-advised 35' bounce pass), Mack shoved Napier away from the ball and OOB on his back with 2-hands in his chest. You could then hear through the TV someone yelling WTF...pretty sure that would have been Napier. Shows was right there on the play and Cahill was the C-opposite. Surprising that neither got that. It was bad enough that I wouldn't have been surprised if an intentional foul had been called.

Aside from that, I thought they did a good job.

I was watching at Applebee's with no audio and on my 2nd drink but I definitely saw it. Guess there was no advantage gained.

We talked about that one in the chat room...I didn't note the time, but I'll try and get around to getting that play up.

I remember seeing it and hearing him yell "What the f*&#" as he went flying out of bounds.

Here's the play in question:

[APG]

Is this a RSBQ play that needs to be gotten...what about the contact by the dribbler at the end of the drive?

No, the guy was trying to execute a tai otoshi. Oh, wait a minute, this is basketball, not judo. sorry.

It appears Harris was about to put air in his whistle but then when A1 regain the ball and his footing he decided to pass on it. Me, I think would have had a foul for the trip even if I didn't have anything for the first bump.

Nothing at the end of the play.

Here's the play -- sorry about the content of the web site surrounding it. I think that's Lamb, not Napier. Still, weird to take a pass there. He looks like he's looking right at it.

Only 2 minutes too slow

Was to post this play:

[Camron Rust]

RSBQ: That is usually called in most games. Not sure why it wasn't.

Incidental Contact: I don't really see anything other than an ugly play.

Definitely a foul. Could lead to dirty play.
