I guess they’ve arrived…in their mind.

I think FS1 does a better job on college hoops than ESPN.
Fun game. Great announcers. Bad result.

Uncle Bill makes any broadcast 50% better.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Wow first 20 win season in 6 years.

 

[Orangezoo]

So this is what power conference college hoops gets now for 2k a game per ref?

 

[grepal]

Game was Big East final worthy. Lots of controversy, makes me miss the Big East

 

[samspann1]

Lol @ court storm

Refs handed UConn the game. First with the “held ball”, and then the charge call on Gillespie

I thought that was pretty funny too!

 

[DoctorBombay]

Horrible call. It’s obvious circumstances like this that get fans all riled up. That was so clearly a bad call, but there’s no repercussions for that ref. He’ll just go back and screw up another game…rinse and repeat.

 

[Alsacs]

Bad call.
I hate college refs and how they call charges.

 

[Orangezoo]

The tie up rule has turned into a joke. These guys all the sudden have decided to apply a completely different methodology to the rule.. by way of not following the rule.

Zero repercussions

I am so thankful to leave the Big East just from her chitty takes on everything.
Dana O’Neil would drive me insane if she were consistently tweeting about our games.

 

[DoctorBombay]

Andre Jackson would have been quite the point forward here. He can really pass and is quite the athlete.

Meh…not ready.

Straight up JJ Redick style. He was falling before Gillespie even made contact.

 

[UpstateSM]

Tie a cinder block to the block/charge rule and drop it in the Hudson River

 

[orange7]

I’m envious of UConn at this point. Their athleticism blows us away.

What is amazing is how good the NBA refs are at calling block/charges and how equally bad college refs are at calling them.

 

[samspann1]

Tie Hurley and a cinder block to the block/charge rule and drop it in the Hudson River

Fixed

Every year it seemingly gets worse in failure to apply the rules correctly.

Puhleeze. That's blasphemy.
F' UConn...always.
Where's @marsh when you need him?

You know what, real time it looks like a bad call, but when I slow it down, he was no longer moving, feet outside the arc and Gillespie was out of control. I don’t like the game being decided on any call, but that is far from the most egregious charge call I’ve ever seen.

But the ball handler had his hips and shoulder around the defensive player. If I stand there and the offensive player gets around me, it’s not a charge. It’s a clear block and the jump ball was a total mugging. One player had his arms around his neck and the other around his shoulders. Total BS call.

In the rule book, that's called a "CJ Fair Charge".

 

[Cheriehoop]

I‘m not 100% convinced that Ryan Arcidiacono and Collin Gillespie are two different people.

And Mike Nardi (when he shaved his head) .

Didn’t realize that he was the associate head coach under Wright and that Fran Fraschilla’s son is Nova’s video coordinator.

The tie up was worse than the charge call
