NC: Kentucky vs UConn
 

Opening a thread for the national championship game.

DeRosa throwing the opening tip.

Looked like an incorrect whistle for a backcourt violation about five minutes into the game.

I thought that too. DeRosa was right there but it didn't appear that the ball touched the backcourt during the dribble.

Officials ignore a running OOB violation (per the NCAA rule) by UConn and they hit a 3 on the possession with just under 5 mins left in the first half.

That wasn't DeRosa.

Peace

Was the final foul of the first half in the act of shooting?
Seemed that the player had the ball in his right hand when fouled and then switched it over to his left for his shot.
2.9 secs on the clock

UConn player on the wing with about 12:50 on the clock in the first half.
Did he travel before going around his defender for a dunk?

About midway through the first half UCONN guard drives the lane and leaves his feet and passes to his team mate on his right. His player misses the ball, looks like the ball goes untouched, and the same guard retrieves his own pass. Happening right in front of the KY bench, Coach Calipari, needless to say, has a little hissy fit.

Just shows to go you.....
 

I initially thought it to be a pretty good call at first. But, the second angle looked like it wasn't BC.

Really? Sure looked like it was him. Well you Yanks would know better than I would :)

The taller white guy is not DeRosa. I will look at the replay to be sure, but I am pretty positive that was not DeRosa.

BTW, Doug Shows was an official I saw at a UConn at DePaul game last season. Shows T's up Ollie for being out of the coaching box. UConn won in kind of a blowout, but I never forgot him after that afternoon game I attended.

Peace

These guys for the most part are having a great game. I agree with about every call they show in slow motion. Very solid so far.

Peace

I have to agree with JRut. This crew had solid night overall.

At least one team on the court did....terrible basketball.
