2019 NCAA Tourney Thread: Nation has to watch Virginia again (1 Viewer)

[The General]

Auburn gutted. #### getting burned up tonight down there.

 

[Slapdash]

   What a cluster that finish was.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

I'll say it.  If they call the foul on Harper against Jerome with 4 something to play that caused Jerome to pick up his 4th out of frustration this game doesn't get close.   Sucks for Auburn though.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Terrible ending.  Gotta call the foul, but hate seeing it end like that. 

 

[sports_fan]

And that folks is why basketball sucks. Just tuned in to see who was winning, and witnessed that garbage.  Now back to a real sport, hockey.

huh?

 

[parasaurolophus]

I hate virginia. 

 

[Major]

Really wanted Auburn to win.  Great comeback only to be robbed with a no call on traveling and a weak foul on a three pointer  

 

[Hoos First]

Omg!!!!!!!

 

[The General]

Love this Guy kid. "I was terrified"

 

[tjnc09]

Terrible ending.  Gotta call the foul, but hate seeing it end like that. 

Dude still hit 3 free throws.  Same thing happened to NMSU vs Auburn and he went 1/3

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Omg!!!!!!!

Congrats man.  Good luck monday

 

[Juxtatarot]

I’m sure nobody cares about my bracket but I picked Virginia beating Texas Tech.

Dynamite drop-in. 

 

[irish eyes]

huh?

Basketball sucks. Barely breathed on the guy and they call a foul. 

 

[Hoos First]

Official rules it was a foul. I wouldnt have called but glad they did

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Dynamite drop in, sport

 

[EYLive]

Who's calling that foul call "controversial"?

That's a Stevie Wonder call, so easy to make.

 

[Politician Spock]

Horrible officiating. Auburn got royally screwed. 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

That did seem like a double dribble

 

[Tom Skerritt]

Double dribble missed call

 

[NutterButter]

One more to go Bennett.    One of the great coaches.

 

[Slapdash]

It was a foul, but that was also a double dribble. 

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Really wanted Auburn to win.  Great comeback only to be robbed with a no call on traveling and a weak foul on a three pointer  

Yep. Announcers seem to agree on double dribble / travel. 

I hate seeing that regardless of team. 

Good call. 

 

[EYLive]

Basketball sucks. Barely breathed on the guy and they call a foul. 

This is a Russian troll right? Nobody is this stupid.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Love this Guy kid. "I was terrified"

Actual quote from the announcer: "Just the guy you want at the line. "

 

[Tom Skerritt]

Auburn defender even motioned double dribble after the foul call

 

[The General]

Basketball sucks. Barely breathed on the guy and they call a foul. 

It's a foul. Got to let the guy land. If you have ever played you want this to be called as a shooter.

It's crazy because of the outcome.

 

[Pipes]

Horrible officiating. Auburn got royally screwed. 

On the missed double dribble yes

 

[tjnc09]

Really wanted Auburn to win.  Great comeback only to be robbed with a no call on traveling and a weak foul on a three pointer  

 weak foul?  That's hilarious coming from a Harden fan

 

[Major]

Good call. 

Glad they finally addressed this. I thought I was the only one who saw that. 

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Horrible officiating. Auburn got royally screwed. 

No, they didn't.  If we're gonna whine about the double dribble at half court then whine about the Auburn guy fouling him after it went off his shoe.  

 

[mozzy84]

Ouch that double dribble replay makes it that much worse...

 

[Major]

 weak foul?  That's hilarious coming from a Harden fan

It's the no call on traveling that made that foul preposterous 

 

[Capella]

I’m sure auburn fans will deal with this in a tactful and reasonable way. 

 

[Politician Spock]

On the missed double dribble yes

Changed the entire game. 

 

[The General]

Really wanted Auburn to win.  Great comeback only to be robbed with a no call on traveling and a weak foul on a three pointer  

I missed the kick ball/double dribble call. That was missed.

Foul was legit though. The Auburn guy lost where he was in the moment.

 

[parasaurolophus]

Really wanted Auburn to win.  Great comeback only to be robbed with a no call on traveling and a weak foul on a three pointer  

Worst part about it too is that the announcer said right after "thats good officiating"

 

[NutterButter]

Some really classy booing during the post-game.   You can wipe up all those tears with the toilet paper you're not gonna need.  

 

[The General]

Was he referring to the foul call on the shot? Takes cajones to make the right call there.

 

[Pipes]

No, they didn't.  If we're gonna whine about the double dribble at half court then whine about the Auburn guy fouling him after it went off his shoe.  

Oh come on I hate Auburn and can admit they got royally screwed 

 

[Pipes]

I’m sure auburn fans will deal with this in a tactful and reasonable way. 

Every fan base would be livid and boo mercilessly.

 

[The General]

Some really classy booing during the post-game.   You can wipe up all those tears with the toilet paper you're not gonna need.  

Might be a bit much to ask for a bunch of drunk fans to not boo after that ending. That was gut wrenching.

 

[parasaurolophus]

I am talking about after missed double dribble. 

 

[sports_fan]

It was a dumb foul. They screwed themselves

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Oh come on I hate Auburn and can admit they got royally screwed 

I don't care either way but no, they didn't.  They were trying to intentionally foul when Jerome double dribbled and the guy reached in before the double dribble.  The last play was a foul.  And I already pointed out the one they missed where Jerome should have been shooting FT to up 11 but instead commits a dumb 4th foul that changed the game.  

It sucks for Auburn but they weren't screwed.

 

[Don't Noonan]

Karma because Michael Dyer's knee was down

 

[Politician Spock]

No, they didn't.  If we're gonna whine about the double dribble at half court then whine about the Auburn guy fouling him after it went off his shoe.  

Oh come on I hate Auburn and can admit they got royally screwed 

Exactly. In general I hate the entire SEC.

Sometimes refs miss calls and sometimes they call things they shouldn't have. They try to make up for it later. 

If anything, the ref should have ignored a ticky tacky bump to make up for not calling the travel and changing possession. 

Again, horrible officiating, not just for missing a game changing call, but also for not making up for it when they had the chance. 

 

[The General]

I am talking about after missed double dribble. 

They said great officiating referring to that non-call?

 

[NutterButter]

Might be a bit much to ask for a bunch of drunk fans to not boo after that ending. That was gut wrenching.

I really doubt that crowd is filled with drunk people.   This is college basketball we're talking about.   

 

[Pipes]

Agreed I’m stunned the court is clean imho.  There isn’t once of us that wouldn’t be livid if that happened to our team.
