March 11, 201313 yr Again, I am not one to blame officiating for Wins and Losses, but it was comical that OVC (officiating) was trending on twitter two hours after the game. Gottlieb had some interesting tweets: Doug Gottlieb @GottliebShow As unofficial #NCAA tourney chief I hereby grant Murray State immunity and advance them to the dance #IWish Doug Gottlieb @GottliebShow Marquette co signs “@mitchcumstein35: @GottliebShow I hope we draw Murray State. Signed, nobody.” Doug Gottlieb @GottliebShow If I was NCAA tourney commish, I would walk out to mid court of the Belmont vs Murray St final and grant immunity to the loser I do agree with Gottlieb about not wanting to play Murray State. Belmont was the better team all season and they won the bid. But Murray State can present more match-up problems for better teams because of their talent and low post presence. The OVC also had to issue a statement post-game about the length of delay in determining how much time Murray State had on the clock at the end of regulation before their final shot. It was forever.
