Are we complaining about the refs in a game where Wichita State lived in the double bonus? Really?

 

Smith could have been called for several fouls that they let slide. Louisville, despite pressing the entire game, shot 5 more FT's than the Shockers.

Wichita State was in the double bonus with ELEVEN minutes left in the game. Weak...

There were four hands on the ball. That's simultaneous possession. Jump ball...

 

You can be touching the ball with both hands and still not have possession. I betting that the official who made that call is feeling pretty low for blowing his whistle. Officials, just like players, should know time and score...

Officials know rules. That's the job. Give me a break...

And another thing. Your stance is that you can have two hands on the ball and NOT have possession? :lol2:

That just meant that the officials would quit calling fouls later in the game, which they did. Which of the fouls on the Cards was debatable?

 

Gottlieb made the statement that the officials called the game one way until about 8-10 minutes were left, then quit calling fouls.

Yes, clearly common sense tells you that touching and holding are not the same.

You are citing Gottlieb? Really. We're done here... :walk:

I'm sure Karl Hess really wanted to see Pitino advance. He's for sure the president of that fan club...

I'll be pulling for the Cards on Monday. I will hit a financial windfall with a UL championship, but I will call it like I see it regardless.:popcorn:

First time I have ever agreed with Gottlieb.

It isn't the officials that need glasses apparently. As Ram pointed out, whistle was just as quick on jump ball Siva pulled away before whistle blew. Simultaneous possession. Called correctly both times and each team benefited. Weakest link. Goodbye...

In no way, shape or form did the officials change the outcome of this game. The Cardinals won with their defense, and some clutch 3 point shooting. The Cards are the best team in the nation, and will prove that Monday night. Michigan is looking pretty darn good right now though.

Doesn't fit the narrative...

 

Give me a break. The calls could have gone either way at best.
