WillBeKing did that in the 2nd round, too.
 
 
I know many people are rooting for MSU-Michigan final, I'm hoping for Florida v. Kentucky v.4.0, Satan's Disciples.

Dayton just had the worst offensive run in this history of this tourney. They burn 25 seconds, seconds they didn't have, and then throw it away.

Wilbekin is about to smoke so much weed this weekend

Not really liking the way the officiating is going for Wisconsin.  Two ticky tack fouls, they missed a foul on Arizona, and a pretty questionable traveling call against Kaminsky.  Hopefully, this doesn't stay going one way.

That is not a fucking foul.  How does the ref behind the defender away from the ball even fucking make that call?  It's absurd.

And Bo Ryan gets on the refs for the blatantly biased officiating, and they hit him with a technical.  Arizona now out to an 8 point lead and it's solely because of the officiating, IMO.  Just dreadfully one sided.

This is getting ridiculous. Not a foul, then a bogus T? Not to mention nothing is getting called on the other end.

Then Brust gets bumped off his pivot foot when making a move on the post, and they call him for a travel.  I'm literally watching a different game than these refs.

Not to mention Arizona brings it down the court and them I believe Gordon shuffles his feet as he's holding the ball.

Not to take anything away from Arizona, they have a really quick defense.

If Arizona & Florida end up in the championship game, the Scottie Wilbekin/Nick Johnson show is going to be a shitload of fun to watch.

That should have been a no call. Complete flop by the Wisconsin player. He put his arms in the guy's back and pushed himself backward onto the floor like he was diving into a pool.

There's no way any of us could EVER be officials in this game.
 
None of us are blind enough.

One thing about Kaminsky: He has the undesirable Kareem-esque quality of bitching & moaning for a call after a missed shot instead of hustling back down court with his teammates to help defend and rebound. Abdul-Jabbar was the undisputed king of that shit. I don't give a fuck how great a player you are, or how awful the call was, shut your fucking trap and get back on D.

What did Barkley say at halftime?  I missed it, but I'm glad to hear he called out the refs.  Did he specifically talk about how they were raping Wisconsin in the first half, or was it more of a general "The refs have sucked ass for the entire tournament" speech?

Why was some guy who hasn't made a basket - and has only attempted one shot - all night taking a shot with 90 seconds left in a tie game?

Barkley killed them for the call just before the half that went AZ's way (the block on Kaminsky rather than a charge).  Then he said that the T for the Wisc coach was understandable because they were getting screwed all half

Great D by Zona. Worst shot possible for Wiscy
 
Still a mistake not going for a 2fer1.
 
 
All the makings of an instant classic: coach getting a T, horrible officiating, and best player on the court going 0-8

They should start thinking about fouling Gordon every time he touches the ball.  He shoots 41% from the line and he is like 3-13 during the tournament.
