OT: Virginia at Duke

[Cheriehoop]

Question on a drive like Allen's isn't it a walk when he landed before he released the ball? Great shot regardless but thought it was a walk when he landed, then shot.

 

[Orangemen]

how did his shot count? looks like his foot hit the ground b4 he got the shot off... wouldnt that be a travel?

Definitely a travel.

Don't know if it was reviewable or not.

 

[TempleNCuse]

Refs totally blew the call on the made shot! Allen clearly landed before he released the ball! Brutal!!

 

[ssbriefcase]

An AMAZING travel. 3 steps, and then the foot hits the ground before the shot goes up. Traveled twice.

 

[urban96]

amazing! just amazing!!

 

[djcon57]

LOL...looks like you guys already saw what I saw. He literally jumped up...down...shot it.

That's a walk. Period. End of story.

 

[721Comstock]

amazing! just amazing!!

God bless America!

Duke still has @Louisville, @Pitt, UNC x2 so I guess this win isn't that bad. I would just to like to avoid Duke in the 4-5 matchup in the ACCT.
Notre Dame, Miami, are better matchups if we can get them.

Boise called, did they question when the clock started?

Coach K sure has no problem shaking hands in victory. Fraud.

Allen TRAVELLED. Watch closely - he takes 2 steps, jumps - and COMES DOWN before he released that shot.

You know that was never getting called there.

And the number of times you've seen travel called on the last play of a game is...

 

[Knicks411]

I did think his foot came down first, but it was so close, and that's just never getting called in that situation

Against Duke, at Cameron Indoor - that'd be zero.

Absolutely.

You don't have to think it - you can watch it.
They showed the replay like 5x in a row, in super-slow-mo.
He CLEARLY came back down before the ball was out of his hand.

 

[jncuse]

Got to hand it to Grayson Allen... pushed off on the drive, travelled and then shot for the win

FIXED

 

[ssbriefcase]

I rewound and slo mo'd it 3x, he took 3 steps on the way to shoot it and foot hit the ground. Can the refs call at least one of the travels at the end of a game?

it wasnt close watching live and it was really clear on replay

 

[jncuse]

Boise called, did they question when the clock started?

I went back and watched it --- the timekeeper did not cheat this time.

Nice work by Vitale comparing him to Havlicek after that shot.

 

[samspann1]

Allen clearly walked, but it's no surprise that the call was blown.

While the finish itself was exciting, I thought that the game was sloppily played. I guess that I just don't care for UVa's style.

Speaking of which, our resident UVa/Akil Mitchell superfan (masquerading as an SU fan) is probably pretty pissed off right now, and rightfully so.

 

[longtimefan]

And the number of times you've seen travel called on the last play of a game is...

But. . .how often do you see such an egregious non-call?

 

[poc44]

Nice work by Vitale comparing him to Havlicek after that shot.

And zero mention of the travel at all by vitale....

And zero mention of the travel at all by vitale...

You won't hear about it all in espn. They'll say it was a great play
