Happy for Tech but not a Chris Beard fan. Was it Idaho that he fucked over? He took a job and then like a week later left for Tech.

That jackass Chirs Beard took the UNLV job. He fired all of the previous assistants. Then 3 weeks after he ws hired he quit. Leaving the Runnin' Rebels in 100% rebuild mode.

That was completely classless what Beard did.

My thoughts exactly. Half the country must have known that was a double dribble, I shouted it out immediately. Could not believe the announcers waited until long after the game had ended to even address it, WTF is the color guy there for anyway if he didn't pick up the most important missed call of the season.

As for the foul I could see that. While it's true they were letting them play all game, and at first I thought it was incidental, the defender clearly moved into the shooter and there was contact with the body.

I don't really understand how the refs missed the double dribble call. Dude is literally 4 feet away from it. Foul call was clearly the right call. You can't go into a shooters vertical plane and take away their ability to land without contact . That call is not even remotely controversial . The double dribble is awful though

No, what Harden and NBA guys is different. The shooter went straight up, the defender bumped him, wasn’t a big bump but either way it was a foul and should have been called.

The missed call was the obvious double dribble, he should have just kept his dribble and didn’t

Shooter threw his legs forward. Notice the left leg gets pretty high, while the other contacts the defender. It’s a pretty normal occurrence. I think it is a foul in the construct of the rule book, not so sure it is in the construct of how the refs called that game. Either way it isn’t something that I think was ridiculous. I wouldn’t have called it, but I understand calling it

Good game TTech, that D was no joke. Glad we were able to get in the 50’s though.
Congrats TT. I missed most of the game because of delayed flights and shitty Wifi on the plane, so I only know what I see in the box score, which is the TT defense being great

Anyway, good luck on Monday, you seem to be the team of destiny this year. Go get that title.


Thanks guys, hell of a game.

I will never understand my team being in the Final Four and trying to watch the game on my phone. Why on Earth didn't you DVR it and watch when you got home?

I should have been home an hour before tipoff but my flight was delayed 3 hours, so I bought Wifi to try and watch on the plane. The problem was the bandwidth sucked and I saw about 3 minutes of actual game play.

We landed at halftime and I was able to see the last 10 minutes or so at home. I have it recorded, but obviously would have preferred to watch it live on the big screen.

we had a severe storm blow through
here in east texas last nite
during the 2nd half of the auburn game,
so the weatherman broke in with coverage
and said we're not breakin away
until we see these severe storms move out -
i was shittin bricks tryin to find
an online stream before the game started -
fortunately, they returned to the regular broadcast
just before the start of the Tech game -

I don't have an issue with the officiating as it seemed to be pretty consistent. Auburn played sloppy most of the game and still should have won without their best player on the floor. It is what it is and I'm at peace.
