Google the rule of verticality.

You need to learn that rule.

I do? You alittle mad buddy? SFA had plenty of chances to win the game, refs didn't decide anything.

No need to defend calls. Austin played d with their bodies the entire gm and got away with it. I'll take a couple ticky tack calls down the stretch

LMAO, people blame the refs over a call with over 2 minutes to go that didn't even result in free throws.

What was up with the 5 Oclock shadow? I've never seen him unshaven.
Not many people can pull the 5 o'clock shadow off. First of all, you need to not have a fat face. 2nd, you can't be middle aged. 3rd, it usually goes with the trucker hat.

UVA could. Case in point:
Nova shot 20-33 (60%) for 54 Points in 1st half Vs Iowa.
UVA shot 19-26 (73%) for 54 Points in 2nd half vs Butler.
Lol. That wasn't my point J. I said any team playing their normal half on basketball wouldn't have been within 15. Every good,team cam point to a half or 2 they played great in. Iowa didn't play terrible on the first half. Below average yes. Terrible no. It was just an unbelievable half from Nova.

Awarding incorrect points while a team is getting legitimate stops is a big problem.

I am still bitter of the 2002 Elite 8 game between Indiana and Kent State. Indiana shot 15-19 from 3 in that game with most of those contested. Kent State will never ever get that change to be in that position again. And to have the best statistical shooting game go against you in the history of the tournament sucks ass.

I thought Villanova played their A game but I didn't think it was some crazy once in a decade type performance. They would have beaten almost every team today but still a few teams would have been talented enough to match it.

Yep. Sometimes you lose and it has less to do with how your team played and more to do with how the other team did. Those losses are easier to deal with. They still sick but at least you don't feel like you left a W out there

Notre Dame beat them fair and square

Jeez, does it always have to be a referee conspiracy??

They executed a nerve wracking 2-for-1 that was awesome for everyone to watch.

Give the kids credit. The coach trusted them and they delivered.

I would have wussed out and called a timeout if I was the ND coach..

The whole game? Yeah I'd go an A. The first half was something special. Of course there are teams that could've played phenomenally as well and kept it close. Hell Iowa could have as we have many times this year. That said a great team playing their normal half is down big to Nova at half.

Sometimes. One thing that always pisses me off is when your team plays great defense for the entire shot clock and then they throw up a garbage off balance 3 and make it.

He wasnt vertical. His hands were straight up, but his body was going to his right. Right into the path of Jackson. The replay immediately following the foul showed it.
