NCAA 1st Round Games for Thurs March 21

Kansas bailed

Let calls be reviewed

They review everything else in the world but not that in the last few seconds of the game?

i mean, how are they supposed to review that. there is no mechanism. you could give each team a challenge like the nba.

 

[UpstateSM]

On the bright side I just remembered I had Kansas in survivor. Lol

Clark Kellogg sux

That’s exactly how they review it

Alll time bad call. Samford was going to have a 5v4 down 1 to win it...my gut says they would have done it. Robbed of an all time moment. Sickening!

 

[UpstateSM]

Uhhh ohhhhhh

 

[rrlbees]

Samford was boned. Should have had a chance to win on the last possession.

 

[Cheriehoop]

In college football doesn’t a referee off the field review tape of every touchdown, fumble, close sideline catch etc to make sure it occurred as ruled by the refs on the field? Seems crazy that in college basketball that a game deciding subjective call isn’t reviewable somehow, especially in the waning seconds of such a close game. Why the differences in the confidence between football and basketball on subjective calls that can determine winner/loser? Like someone else said, refs are human, can make mistakes,so why not help them and objectively use technology to quickly confirm or change their call when it can determine a game. Just seems odd to me and sad.

1. Limit reviews to last 60 seconds (not last 2 minutes)
2. Give teams 1 challenge per game. If successful, they get 1 more.
3. Refs have to state, over the microphone, EXACTLY what they are reviewing (flagrant foul, out of bounds, shot clock violation, etc…) before they look at the cameras and they get 45 seconds to review and 30 seconds to confer thereafter. After they make the determination (e.g. no goaltending), then they can go back, if needed, and look again at the clock to get it right.
4. During all reviews, staff bring out chairs for the players, and coaches are not allowed to confer with the players.

I wonder if Kampe retires after the tournament. He's been there 40 years. What's going to top this?

10 more years

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Also, the one and done model of Kentucky and Duke might be over. The portal means other teams are going to be playing older guys.

JB would have had 3-4 FFs and 1-2 trophies with Cal’s talent. Great coach with a dominant shot blocker (Camby/Davis) but then who isn’t.

 

[Cusefan0307]

In a heartbeat. Might be a buyout condition that he doesn’t coach there.

33 million.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Never understand how offensive players get away with so much contact

Baskets bring viewers. Same in NBA. That’s why what once was palming is now legal.

I would eliminate all replay aside from clock issues.
That’s not going to happen
So my next best option would be no ref reviews , just challenges

 

[Charbroil]

And the Samford kid got the rebound too. They should have had a chance to win the game.

And the way the Kansas player went down it was a 5-4 opportunity the other way. Really good chance that Samford gets a bucket there. But we’ll never know.

 

[690West]

Storylines 1 and 2 yesterday were the Kentucky upset followed by the blown Samford call. What would you say is the 3rd top story from day 1? Dayton coming back from down 17?

 

[tbonezone]

Always liked DJ Burns but that Middlebrook(?) kid has really improved probably battling Burns in practice every day.

did you catch the hip check butterball burns threw on the pick ? he was whistled but that dude was rolling on the floor. he knows how to use his size inside offensively and has great footwork and touch. surprisingly imo he's not a great defender inside. well maybe not surprising given that he has a 2 " vertical. middlebrook was mvp last night. "old school threes".

 

[sufan59]

So Syracuse has beaten atleast 3 teams in the round of 32. Maybe a 4 after today if Colgate upsets Baylor.

 

[Cuse12]

My takeaway from oaklands game (other than gohlke going bananas) was, how in gods name does Oakland have more robust forwards and bigs than us? They weren’t as tall as Kentucky but Townsend for example was stout, strong and creates space. They rebounded and scored down low consistently against one of the most talented teams in the ncaa.

 

[BuffOrange]

get rid of all replay. its dumb. it has ruined sports. we no longer know if what happened actually happened in 5 minutes. as a big fan of many teams, im willing to get screwed over now and then in exchange for an enhanced viewing experience

It's hilarious that people think more replay is the answer. The final 2mins of these games are unwatchable.

 

[kingtidge]

Stop anticipating.

It was the worst officiated last 2 minutes of a game I have ever seen,

They called 3 stops and play reviews on things that didn't even matter and on that clean rejection called a foul,,, The one ref with the worse angle anticipates and whistles the wrong call and his counterpart, who had the direct and clear view, swallows his whistle and doesn't overturn his buddy so as not to embarrass him... No review necessary, evidently.

Samford kids don't get their rightful chance to move on and zebras decide the game outcome.

That whole crew was a complete embarrassment and should be sent home without another game.

Less general replays... (1) challenges per half for each team... if wrong, you lose a T/O. If you have no T/O's left, you can't challenge.

 

[Newhouser]

I think that is the next step. For the most part I think the NBA handles the review process pretty smoothly - not sure it would go so smooth in college but worth a shot in my opinion.
