February - Other Big East Games

[NowInStorrs]

Wow from the TO when they didn't have any left to Butler then fouling the best FT shooter to potentially tie it... interesting end of game.

How do you have a goaltending call on a dunk?

 

[AzHusky]

I think he had a brain fart

 

[AzHusky]

players hand is on the rim

 

[AzHusky]

WOW

 

[storrsroars]

How do you have a goaltending call on a dunk?

I was wondering if while reviewing the goaltend if they negated the basket, could they still review for a foul, as I do think there was at least one committed there.

Jones barely touched the rim, and the contact he had was after the block. That was just a bad call.

 

[AzHusky]

Butler storms the court

 

[Huskydog45]

Two bad losses to DePaul and Butler…

 

[superjohn]

One of the stranger endings you'll see. Nunge gets a tech for calling a timeout they don't have, Taylor intentionally fouls Boum (best ft shooter) up 2 with 9 seconds left, Nunge gets a clean block on a dunk but Jones grabbed the rim, Boum back rims a half court shot at the buzzer.

 

[Hamms30]

I guess by the letter of the law you have to call it, but that's a slimey way to end a game.

Two bad losses to DePaul and Butler…

Baffling to me. I honestly think Butler is worse than DePaul or Georgetown when I watch them. Xavier certainly plays up against us but even on a bad day shouldn’t be losing to Butler.

 

[AzHusky]

tough call but after the review and seeing the hand on the rim do you wave off the goal tending?

 

[Huskyforlife]

Not stealing one against Xavier hurts. Our resume is much stronger than theirs.

 

[August_West]

Lol

I think it's the right call. If I am Xavier fan I would be pissed about the goaltending call on Nunge earlier in the game which wasn't close to goaltending- it proved to be the difference

Something slimey happened to a slimey coach like Sean Miller. Awww

 

[August_West]

It was right call. Tough way to lose though

 

[Kolumbo]

Nah. The difference was the Chris Webber time-out.

 

[todbo]

69-67. Enuf sed.

 

[HartfordFan]

Anything can happen on any given night. End was crazy. Xavier calls timeout they don’t have, Butler gets two technical free throws. Later Butler player thinks team is up by three, fouls Boum to avoid a late 3. But Butler was up two so Boum ties it. Then Butler wins on a questionable goaltend call at the buzzer.

 

[ucp990411]

Extremely dumb basketball by both teams in the last 30 seconds. The goal tend was legit. He grabbed the rim

 

[REB1094]

Wow I just watched a replay of the goaltending call, probably 10 times over

By the book is it goaltending? Yes, Colby grabbed the rim while Hunter was going for his shot

But at that point Nunge seems to have already blocked the shot. Colby grabbing the rim had NO impact on whether the shot was going in or not.

I can easily understand why people would be angry at that. But I think it was the right call? Tough

 

[REB1094]

Anarchy?

 

[Huskyhoops25]

That was a wild finish to a crazy game.
