March Madness

<p>Shipp didn't do anything all game... It least his hack sealed the victory for them.</p>

<p>UCLA has been very very lucky of late with regards to the refs. Memphis and NC sure look like much better teams to me right now.</p>
 
I hate how the refs will call ticky tack fouls early in the game and you pretty much have to mauled to be able to get a foul call at the end of the game (and sometimes they still dont call it). And the logic behind that is that the refs dont want to decide a game, let the players play and decide it on the floor, but the fact is that they do decide the game by not calling the damn foul. When i saw the play posted by nude above i immediately saw the foul. I dont know how three ref's miss that call and i can see it clearly on TV.
 
Well, at least my UConn women are still in it.... <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/tournament/bracket">ESPN - 2008 Women's NCAA Tournament Bracket - March Madness Brackets</a>
 
Just in case you weren't convinced of the obvious foul, here is another angle with 2 guys fouling. I am done ranting!!!

<p>Wow... all these bitter Aggies fan crying about 1 play.... it's all about the home court advantage baby!</p>

<p>Anyways, I'm not rooting for UCLA to win it all. In fact, I'm not rooting for any specific team to win it all. As with all sporting events now a days, just want to watch a good game. </p>

When the "winning" team cheated (violated the rules without consequence,) particularly when the foul or lack thereof changed the outcome of the game, the "winners" are really losers. Ranting against injustice is not bitterness.
 
This type of cougars? <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=462941&in_page_id=1879">www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html</a>

<p>A call missed at the end of a game that POTENTIALLY could have changed the outcome of the game (no one knows if a shot that never occurred would actually go in, the chances are probably less than 50% that it would) doesn't take anything away from the Bruins win IMO. If I recall correctly, that particular shot was to TIE the game, not go ahead. </p>

<p>A basketball ball game is very long, not just a moment in time. There are foul calls missed all game long that can effect the score. There are bad fouls called that can effect the score... The outcome of the game is decided by accumulation of these moments in time, not just what happens on one play at the end of the game.</p>
 
<p>Hey IR:</p>

<p>Refs always keep the whistles in their pockets at the end of the game. It was a physical game, but a good game never the less. :)</p>

<p>Good showing for A&M. They got a good team heading into the next season... :)</p>
 
<p>That Davidson was actually kind of boring. WI has such a weak offense and Curry is in such a zone now, it was practically no contest. Love the jab step, step-back, 23' triple. Man, that's cocky. That dude is pure.</p>

<p>Boo Muskies. I fear you might be right but maybe the real Bruins will show up this time...</p>
 
I can't think about UCLA... I am disgusted by the Lakers so much now I want to disown basketball in general. 45 trey attempts in one game, OMG. What the frick happened to the Triangle?! Argh.
 
I forgot to post the bracket...

Adios Muskies. That was a smackdown... The real Bruins showed up tonight, just at the right time. Maybe they can avenge their loss to Texas in the Final Four?!
