How do you miss that travel on Gilbert at the end?

Was it really tho? I only got one good look at it. Look like he just got possession then landed on one foot. Then took two full steps. Then dribbled the ball.

Would like a gif for curiousity's sake.

I think they were going to call a foul and then just let it run, so they didn't call the travel

Don't know, don't care, we win, they lose.

It was a stroll in the park broski. We could have easily lost IF the refs didn't blow the call. .6 is plenty of time for a dagger or the most likely foul the 3pt shooter.

BUT we won. That is ALL that matters. A must needed win.

 

[HawkHusky]

Make up call for all the uncalled travels on USF. Fair is fair.

 

[Jaker]

Can't blame the Ref's for wanting the abomination to end.

If anything AG should have been shooting foul shots, the push on him was more of a foul than all the phantom flop fouls USF got...........I think the officials just wanted the game to be over at that point.

The end of that game was just a comical display by the referees.

It totally was, I don’t even think he really got fouled there.

The referees sucked. But it’s not the AAC’s fault.

Brian O’Connell was assigned in the R32 last year and S16 the year before.

Lee Cassell has done S16 games the last two seasons.

Eliminate replay now.

Also the beginning and the middle.

I think the refs just made a no call. A foul could have been called as well, but just let the game end.

Besides, I think this is a case where the bad calls basically evened out.

Still, this is a team that needs to learn how to win. This was gifted to them by SFU.

I've said it before, but I remember Calhoun said two of the hardest things for a team are 1) Learn how to win games and 2) Learn to develop a killer instinct and be willing to step on the throat of the other team.

There was a lot more calls to complain/remark about during the game than a supposed travel with .06 left
They did a rather poor job officiating but what's new?
At least Teddy Valentine wasn't in the building today

I feel like UCONN did more to gift the game to USF than vice versa.

Ted Valentine is one of the best

Ted Valentine is one of the best

...if not THE best...at being the worst ref in MCBB. Nobody makes the game about him more than Teddy V.

What you're describing is a travel. You can't get the ball, come to a stop, then take two steps, then start dribbling.

I thought he was pushed.

Good point. Now, if the clock ran out before he touched the ball again (he kind of bounced that dribble), it wouldn't be a travel, no? Kind of counts as a pass in that scenario (until he touches again). When did it run out? If it didn't, how much time was on it?

It probably was a travel, but I'd like to see the replay with the clock out of curiosity.

Best what?

@intlzncster

Thanks.

He touches the ball after the 'dribble' right when the clock reads .1. So it's a travel based on that alone.

But he shuffles his feet when he initially secures it anyway. So those two big steps were probably steps 3 and 4.

So yeah, a travel.

He was fouled, thought the obvious foul would be called so he collected the ball and started celebrating, then realized there wasn't a whistle and dropped the ball and tried to pretend he'd been dribbling.

If the refs let the foul go they ought to let the travel go too. I don't have a problem with the no-call. The one thing a ref should never do is swing the outcome of the game with his whistle, and these refs didn't.
