There were two of them, and the overrules were correct.

The right team got the ball on that one so it didn't really have any effect if that was the case but I'd wonder if it was just my eyes or if it did what I thought it did.

I thought the same thing. It was inconsequential to the outcome of the play, but worth a look. Did C bail a little early since he would have had the best look?

Your title mentions the foul was on Hardaway. The foul was on Syracuse's Carter-Williams. I want to see it too! 1:40 second half.

The play is at 8:03, second half. Camron, I did a frame-by-frame, and the ball hits the bottom padding of the backboard, and deflects down. I didn't see it go up at all.

At 19.2 — real-time it is super obvious charge to me.

Slow motion I still had a charge. Player has two feet down and facing dribbler. Moves laterally, but really does not look like he slid under him — takes the contact right in the chest.



If this isn't a charge, shouldn't we just take the charge out of the rule book and only call blocks??? Have we adopted the commentator mindset of "he wasn't set"???

It seemed a lot of times Michigan was inbounding that Syracuse was over the baseline, cutting off an angle (around 12:25 in the second half was one IIRC). Is there a difference in college rules/enforcement from high school that allows this?

Brad, that's not going to be the angle that's going to be decisive...the baseline view...which they do show on replay, is the best view on this play.

Preface this with fanboy alert........That held ball call reminded me of sophomore girls games. My only comment on game.
