Who was convinced they were gonna give gtown FTs at end of Reg?

me two...fortunately the refs arm went up too late.

 

[SWFLCUSE]

If they called that foul objects would’ve been flying in my house.

 

[rrlbees]

I wasn't after the replay. It goes by when the refs arm goes up and not when the actual foul occurred. The foul was before the clock went off but not the refs arm.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Hooray for slow arms.

And if he had called it just before the clock ran out, Syracuse fans would have run him out of the arena.

They tried to re-play the end-game (so GT could win). Unfortunately, with national television and video replay, it wasn't possible. Amazingly gutsy win today. They never panicked, they absorbed GT's generous and amazingly accurate FT shooting and finally silenced the hostile crowd. Plus 7 on the glass against a big team. I knew our centers were going to struggle against Govan. And they did. Tyus Battle took the game over. And Frank played great down the stretch despite not being able to find any range on his shot. He consistently got to the rim against a good defensive team with an active shot-blocker. But Osahe can you see ... I guess his jumper's finally arrived ... and all I can say is, uh oh.

One time it paid off having an old guy reffing...makes up for the thugging going on in the paint most of the game.

 

[Ajflood12]

What was the foul? A reach from oshe? He went for a grab and looked like he stopped himself.

 

[TexanMark]

If Brisette finally starts hitting his shots we could have a nice run in March.

 

[dasher]

He fouled him

 

[NineOneSeven]

Dumb reach regardless.

 

[OrangeDW]

He fouled him

He did, but at 90 feet away from the hoop and the buzzer going off...You can’t call fouls that have zero effect on anything. Dumb to reach regardless. I mean...that was nuts, really. Hopefully he learns from that.

 

[upperdeck]

how they could have called that foul at the end after ignoring the 2 fouls on our last 2 shots right before it would have really hurt

This was my thought. That would have been an all time brutal ending. To not get a foul on Brisett's attempt at a put back, then give a meaningless foul that would hand Georgetown a game that they could not win given time and position on the floor would have been absolutely brutal.

But, why the rule is that it depends on when the official's hand goes up vs. when the foul occurred is absolutely stupid if true. It actually makes no sense. If the play had involved a last second shot instead where the player got the shot off, but the ref was late calling the foul...they wouldn't award the foul??

I think the refs met and said we're not allowing the game to be decided in that way.

 

[Brooky03]

He fouled him

I didn't see it. If there was contact, it was very slight

 

[Briancuse]

I did, had my keys ready, was about to storm out of the house was glad the refs used common sense there.

Paranoia runs deep in the Orange fan base.

(me too)

It looked slight, similar to Voodoo Chile(Slight Return). I hope JB can help him learn from that.

Paranoia runs deep in the Orange fan base.

I can definitely relate. It starts when your always afraid, if you step out of line, the man will come to take you away.

 

[81South]

Would have been as bad as this one

 

[upperdeck]

that isnt the rule. the rule is when the,ref intends to blow the,whistle.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

He did foul him .. it was on purpose
He didn’t know the score and thought we were behind

We got away with one

 

[rrlbees]

that isnt the rule. the rule is when the,ref intends to blow the,whistle.

Yea it’s the whistle which is when they raise their arm usually. The main point was that it’s not when the foul is committed.

 

[kmart128]

No idea what the ref saw. Very little contact. Theres more contact on a majority of rebounds then that one. Thought when then went to monitor that they were gonna give them that bs call before the time expired
