i was at a xmas party friday nite, when i checked the score and saw we lost i didnt bother watching a replay or the highlights. just watched the highlights now and that call was absolutely INEXCUSABLE!!! AN ABSOLUTE JOKE!!!!!

ive said this many times before, the charge call is the worst call in college basketball. the ONLY time it should ever be called a charge is if its an obvious charge. like if the offensive player is out of control and just barrels into a defender and throws up a wild shot that has no chance of going in.

i cant believe how bad that call was. worse than the cj fair charge against duke. worse than the triche charge in the f4. it was a secondary defender, he was leaning back before contact, brisset kind of angles his body to his right to avoid direct contact with the defender, and he makes the shot. ive always said if the player is under control and makes the shot it should NEVER be a charge. youre literally penalizing a player for doing what the object of the game is, TO PUT THE BALL IN THE BASKET!!! youre penalizing a guy who makes a great athletic drive and finish, and rewarding a guy for literally STANDING STILL! such a  bs move by the defender, let me try and sneak in and flop instead of going up strong and trying to block the shot. and to top it off, the ref makes that call with the game on the line. how the  does he do that????

how many times are we gonna get 'ed by awful charge calls??? even the ohio state elite 8 game we got called for a ridiculous charge in the 1st half that should have been an and 1 and completely changed the momentum of that 1st half.
