No way that TO should be allowed

 

[storrsroars]

If Creighton gets this TO, it's one of the most heads-up plays I've ever seen.

 

[aceboon]

I didn't know college still allowed you to call timeout falling out of bounds like that, NBA got rid of that years ago

Don't you need possession of the ball to call a TO?

 

[blkknight1]

You have got to be kidding me

 

[aceboon]

Donny had zero idea of where Creighton was inbounding. That really sucks if Nova loses this, you shouldn't be allowed to call those kind of timeouts

The Bombas CEO with a clutch glass three pointer from the corner.

Ashworth with the bank for the 3 . Wow. I didn't know you can bank a shot from that angle.

That is as a crock of BS

I believe the rule is that if you don't have possession and call the timeout it's a jump ball, which would have gone to Creighton anyway

What a joke Villanova is. Butler loses it off his knee. Hard to believe UConn lost to both of these teams.

 

[gsmooth]

Why would you have Brickus your shortest player at 5 9 inbounding the ball?

 

[superjohn]

Seven in a row for Creighton. McDermott is great, Neptune still sucks.

 

[auror]

A little kiss!

 

[gtcam]

PeeCee and Nova both had critical calls go against them.
The clock situation at MSG to start the game hurt PeeCee

That looked like a couple inches from hitting the top of the backboard. Ridiculous.

This conference has the worst officials in the country. Providence had two shot clock violations with a 22 second shot clock and a bucket taken off the board. Creighton somehow gets a TO called with no real possession whatsoever. Don’t get me started with fouling up 3 in a shooting motion.

I legit didn't even know you could still do that in college ball, the NBA got rid of that in the mid 2000s

That is a strange rule. So say there's 10 seconds left, possession arrow is in your favor, there's a loose ball and the 2 teams are fighting for it and you call a timeout. You're awarded the ball? That can't be right.

I actually thought the Nova-Creighton game was well officiated, but I still can't understand how Creighton was awarded that timeout. That call makes a huge difference in the outcome of the game. It's not like it was a quick bang bang play- that was easy to see in real time.

 

[Scoe]

Hopefully this is only a preview to more Philly heartbreak next Sunday.

They brought it back a year ago.

For those who missed it, here is the play in question. They should not have been awarded a timeout.

That doesn't make sense. If two players from different teams are fighting for the ball, sure that's a jump ball decided by the possession arrow. Green didn't have possession of the ball while he was falling out of bounds, that would not involve a jump ball with a possession arrow.

I think they made the right call. He had the sense to get the refs attention to call the timeout and I think there was enough there for possession.
