Then a foul on the Mo. player for grabing/shoving the Ark. player towards the endline.

Then, another foul for shoving him in the back.

No way is that a traditional block...Arkansas player sees Missouri shooter dump ball off and tries to go for ball. Missouri post player thinks he is setting a screen or something and knocks the Arkansas player on his butt. That's a Missouri foul. Absolutely no reason to call that on the Arkansas kid.

I saw the Arkansas player stepping forward and into the Missouri player who was trying to cut down the lane...moving forward into contact with an opponent who was moving without the ball. That is a block. I don't think it matters that the Arkansas player wanted to get to the ball. He still doesn't get to run into an opponent like that. It sure didn't look like any kind of screen I've seen. To me, he was thinking his teammate was shooting and he was going to the boards. It may have acted as one in a sense but but I'm not buying that it was one.

What the hell is the C watching? It looks like he is looking right at it and he even puts a fist in the air without any air in the whistle. Who should be seeing this action?

This is what happens when an official passes on an initial foul (actually SEVERAL fouls in this case!) and is then forced to blow the whistle....he calls a "it-never-should-have-gotten-to-this-point double foul".

Poor officiating IMHO......

The shooter at the top of the key it looks like.

It looks this way because he is about to signal a three-point attempt, but the shot is blocked. Thus, he pulls his hand down.

The Lead or Center I hope, they both have part of the lane.
