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.

41 percent? That is mind-boggling bad. Arizona has gotten really lucky with some putbacks.

Deathofthebambino · Mar 29, 2014

Holy shit, they called an offensive foul? Wow, that's karma.

canderson · Mar 29, 2014

Wow I'm shocked they called that offensive.

sachmoney · Mar 29, 2014

Big Ten!

Dan to Theo to Ben · Mar 29, 2014

Can you call a makeup call from an hour ago?

Jed Zeppelin · Mar 29, 2014

That has to be a no call in this situation.

bankshot1 · Mar 29, 2014

you don't make that call

ThePrideofShiner · Mar 29, 2014

Wow. What a horse shit call. Just horse shit.

Deathofthebambino · Mar 29, 2014

I'm sorry, Gordon shoots 42% for the year, and he was 2-10 coming into this game in the tourney. He's 1-2 today. What is amazing is that he shoots 35% from 3 point land.

LuckyBen · Mar 29, 2014

He missed the shot guys.

Deathofthebambino · Mar 29, 2014

The ref is literally right there, 2 feet from the play. There is no way to overturn his call.

deconstruction · Mar 29, 2014

With no Arizona TOs left, why not just chuck the ball past midcourt?

Deathofthebambino · Mar 29, 2014

By virtue of the rule itself, if it takes this long to make the call, it is not indisputable, right?

mandro ramtinez · Mar 29, 2014

Just like Tennessee last night, a deflection ends up hurting Arizona because a second ran off.

Deathofthebambino · Mar 29, 2014

I can't believe how much this kind of thing has happened in the tournament.

Ed Hillel · Mar 29, 2014

Um...wow.

Deathofthebambino · Mar 29, 2014

That is so absurd, I can't even believe it.

Wisky might have tipped that last

Wow, this is rigged

Ed Hillel · Mar 29, 2014

lol he took his sweet ass time there.

Dan to Theo to Ben · Mar 29, 2014

I just lost a little bit of respect for Sean Miller.

Deathofthebambino · Mar 29, 2014

Good. If Arizona had won the game, these refs should have been forced to have a press conference with a big screen tv, and explain exactly how they determined it went off a Wisconsin player.

mandro ramtinez · Mar 29, 2014

Kaminsky was so damn impressive all night.

I think the angle of the hands that came in and rotation probably had it off Wisconsin, but I'm not sure how they can say it was definitive.

radsoxfan · Mar 29, 2014

When you have 2 seconds left in the game, you probably shouldn't take 3 dribbles to try to get an open shot. What a fool.

It's the same crew that fucked up the end of the second Duke-Syracuse game and didn't see or ignored Roy Williams calling timeout last Sunday. They aren't gonna get any better or figure it out.

Ed Hillel · Mar 29, 2014

Wow, that dude's parents JUST died?

Wow just unbelievable that AZ loses to this shit team other than Kaminsky.

Yeah, they were just a top 3 team in the best conference dumbass.

I can't get over how stupid Johnson was there. You know you have 2 seconds. One dribble and the ball goes up!

Yep, considering how game-smart his uncle was, especially.

bosockboy · Mar 29, 2014

Might have 3/4 of the 2000 Final Four.

bankshot1 · Mar 29, 2014

Now we get to hear Charles expound on the brilliance of his half-time "feed Kaminsky" strategy.

shawnrbu · Mar 29, 2014

Never seen Gumbel so fired up.

shawnrbu · Mar 29, 2014

Kaminsky gets called "The Man" on live TV by one of the greatest low post players in basketball history and he doesn't even acknowledge it?

Ed Hillel · Mar 29, 2014

Based on that last replay, I do think they got it right. But I also agree there should be a time limit. Maybe 2 minutes.

Deathofthebambino · Mar 29, 2014

Umm yeah, they lost 5 of 6 in late January, but they won 29 out of their other 31 games? I think you made the exact opposite point you were trying to make. Basically, they are a great team that had a cold stretch.

Deathofthebambino · Mar 29, 2014

Wisconsin beat Florida, Michigan and Michigan State this year. I'm trying to figure out who exactly is a great team this season if they aren't one of them.

FWIW, while the refs absolutely sucked all night in this one, in the replay you could see the fingers of the Wisconsin player's left hand extending just beyond (above) the top of the Arizona player's head, and they were definitely the last appendages to touch the ball.

Like you, I was initially convinced the replay was inconclusive. But when CBS zoomed in on it, HDTV made it pretty evident to my eyes.

The bigger issue for me with instant replay is that such a call can come down to whether or not there's a broadcast engineer smart and skilled enough in the production truck to enhance the video in that fashion and give the officials a better look.

Florida is 35-2 with losses at Wisconsin and at UConn, 2 elite 8 teams (and 2 FF teams if UConn wins tomorrow). They also haven't lost in 4 months. How are they not a great team?

I think they are but the argument against them would be that the SEC was horrible besides Kentucky.

LuckyBen · Mar 29, 2014

My opinion has been that michigan state wins it all from the start. Still my opinion.

sachmoney · Mar 29, 2014

Madison police scanner is some good ass fun right now.

24-3 with Dawson in the lineup, they're another pretty great team when healthy.

Former, Chuck (Barkley), former.

If we're going to play that game, Wisconsin with Kaminsky is a million times better than Uconn without Napier

mikepnq · Mar 30, 2014

Uconn with the flying start again.
