Auburn: Hosed

[Leawood]

Tired of this

[3rdGenJayhawk]

Shit. To finish your sentence. Yeah a bad, awful ending. NCAA should be very embarrassed.

[Leawood]

I don’t like Bruce Pearl. I hope he says something worthy of a significant fine. And then I hope he tells the NCAA to fuck off.

That's right, $$$

Saints say welcome to hoseville.

[Sparko]

At least it wasn’t a made up forward progress type of hosing. More like ignoring forest for the trees

[thebones]

Robots should ref games from now on.

I'm with you on this and you can throw Kelvin Sampson in there as well. Neither one of these guys should be anywhere near college basketball

If you have an issue with that call then you should have a major issue with the Purdue Tenn call.

Much like that call, I might not have called it. In today’s weak ass basketball, you “gotta” call it.

I'm overseas and I cannot/did not watch the game(s). But saw this photo on ESPN. The necessary rule change is that if the leg kicks out, and makes contact outside the "frame of the body" (similar to the hip-check illegal screen rule) then the foul is called on the shooter, unless the defender clearly steps in to take away the shooter's landing spot.

Can't do anything about the refs blowing a double-dribble call

They probably didn't need the foul right before that. The guy was going to force up deep running 3 at the buzzer most likely (yes. Even though he did double dribble)....instead foul. Then foul the 3pt shooter on the quick hit inbound play. Game over.

Great tournament run by Auburn. Some validation for Bruce Pearl.

Truth be told, I have no fucks to give on Auburn's behalf.

[thebones]

State is inchworming closer

[pdub]

I think there is equal and likely more evidence that Auburn paid or worked with people to pay their players than KU.

If Bennett got his players legitimately, and in this case it looks cleaner, well, go UVA, clearly.

[pdub]

Even as much as some Phogushers don’t mind underhanded payments, I should hope those same people would recognize it’s tougher and likely more a feat to win without that monetary advantage.

I rewatched that double dribble and it looked like Auburn fouled him before it happened.

[pdub]

Grabbed his jersey.
The double dribble missed call was a bad one.

[Lonestarjayhawk]

It can't be perfect. But he double dribbled before the foul. Plus it was stupid to foul him there. The odds of the Virginia player hitting that shot was long. What Pearl should have told his players after the first foul was play it straight. Strong defense and let the clock beat them.

No one has mentioned how funny it is that Auburn got bounced on the same exact type of foul that should of bounced them in their first round game?

That’s the best part to me, as in the end I’m with DC. Who gives a shit about Auburn?

[Mjl]

You can't not call that a foul, these days or any day. You move into and bump a guy that's shooting, that's a foul.
