Because, if he didn't have control of the ball he couldn't call the TO right? But if he DID have control, then he moved an awffffuuulll lot to not be called a travel. Tough call to make, but it has to be one or the other.

 

He did have control of the ball but he got it after he hit the floor. Sliding after this happens is never a travel.

I'm surprised no-one has made comments about the refs tonight.

 

It was soooo bad, it's not worth commenting!

To me, and others around me, he did not have control of it and the TO should have never been awarded. He def. slid, yes, but there was some foot movement. The slide was not what constituted the travel call, his feet touching the floor did. It was a tough call, no doubt, but he didn't have control of the ball so either way the TO should not have been awarded. But Holmes got one their way too, so it all washed.

I won't argue about him having control. You could be right.

 

However, if he did have control he did not travel. By the mere fact that he was on the floor before gaining control (lets assume he gained control) then his feet touching the floor or him having foot movement is irrelevant. There is no pivot foot if you are on the floor.

Clyde, I've agree with every post you have made in this thread.

 

Congrats to Holmes, I hope they do well at Rupp. I'm looking forward to that potential second round match-up.

 

These two teams are so evenly matched it's crazy. Play 10 times and it's 5-5 for sure.

 

Holmes did a great job on McFarland, he really struggled tonight.

 

Give me ten Andrew Brown's any day of the week. He has been the difference in this team since he was inserted in the starting lineup. Got to feel for him on that last shot.

 

Gabbard did a great, great job on Riley. I think he's the better PG. Rico is a flat out stud.

 

Both coaches did a fantastic job. Holmes ran just as much, and maybe more, clock than Boone. Where are the Holmes fans that complain about stall ball? It certainly wasn't stall ball either way, but it is a little ironic.

 

Bring home a title to the 9th !

You might want to keep that to yourself.

I'm confident that it was the wrong call. I thought the refs were pretty good tonight.

Kudos to Coach Henley for not having Riley try to guard Gabbard. It certainly slowed down Gabbard's penetration that was so effective in Florence.

Yeah, that makes sense. And maybe I imagined that his feet were moving, I don't know. lol it all happened pretty fast. Agreed there is no pivot foot on the floor, which is why the slide didn't constitute the travel I had in mind. Good thing we weren't the refs out there, lol.

I'm confident that it was the wrong call. .

 

The part about him not having control?

 

 

Great way to end these pictures

:clap:

There's no way he had control before he stepped out of bounds.

Gabbard did a great, great job on Riley.

 

So good that Riley spent a whole lot of time standing on the sidelines and cheering on his team...
