Why did UCLA storm the court?

When you beat a top 10 team on a buzzer beater, college kids get a free pass to storm, no matter the blood status. I don't make the rules.

What a play

Fair enough. It was a good game and a fun finish.

Yeah I was literally thinking Edney as he was going lol.

I was thinking of Edney before the inbound, but I was thinking no way, that would be too story like.

 

[NickDanger]

Unfortunate for us given we beat Illinois.
But what was really amazing was that Illinois took a timeout to set up their defense with 4.9 seconds left, up one.
And the defense turned out to be "let their best player drive straight down the court and hit a layup."
(Of course I exaggerate a little, but it was really shocking to see how easily UCLA scored.)

 

[gsmooth]

Took it through the trees. Illinois didn't do one thing to even make him pause.

They were afraid of the pass if they helped. But first rule of defense: stop the ball.

Our buddy, Aidan Mahaney is back in Hawaii since the Maui Invitational on ESPNU. I hope his time in Oahu is better than Maui. Will never forget how sad and despondent he looked after losing his starting job at the conclusion of the Memphis game.

Dybantsa with the coast to coast hammer

A core memory I wish wasn’t there. I thought UConn was gonna win it all that year.

Kentucky 74 Auburn 73 with 14 seconds left

 

[JungleLobo]

The 6 is the big one.

Go BYU

I think I have this right.

1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 13, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, lost this week

10 and 11 playing close ones now.

6 x 23 still to go today.

Add #10, #11 will survive.

UConn picked a good week to have a loss

I hate watching ISU play.

OMG. That's a tough call on the inbound against Kentucky on Collin Chandler. Auburn scores go ahead basket on offensive rebound with 1.1 left

Absolute bogus call led to the win. Called a push-off on a flop when he was dislodging a guy draped all over him.

 

[auror]

Good result for UConn...

Houston loss. Check.
Illinois loss. Check.
Iowa State? Tbd. Currently losing.

Same - not must see TV. Josh Jefferson is a nice do everything player, and their big 3 can shoot, but collectively not a very exciting team.

They've been pretty lousy on the road in B12 play, I could see them losing. Crushed by Kansas, lost at Cinci, at TCU.

 

[HooperScooper]

only good teams can go into kansas and win by 16, you might have been able to do that if you had baba on your team.

The Cubcats' chances of making the NCAA Tournament....

Was a really well staged flop. I actually think the offensive player pushed too hard. As long as the defender isn't fouling him, he can drape all he wants. It looked pretty legit - he didn't have to shove to break off him.

Even in a meh season, there is not team I love see losing more than UK.

One of the worst seasons ever he’s not the guy

I'm impartial here but you said you wished someone else would set up a BY meetup just so you could punch this guy in the face. In his defense, his response was his best post ever as he very calmly called your bluff and offered to meet you any time. I haven't seen you respond so unless you PM'd him to take him up on his offer, maybe lay off the constant bashing of all his posts. You can't keyboard karate, punk out, AND go on bitching.

Oh I will definitely meet him ANY TIME ANY PLACE

And here comes Ruff Ruff on the Duke bandwagon…..

It really was a bogus call. They wouldn't have dared call that if the game was in Lexington.

The drape is the foul lol. You can't have 2 hands on a guy like that, freedom of movement. Of course he had to shove to break off him, the guy had his arm curled around his back.

You can be draped all over the guy but as long as you aren’t fouling it’s ok??

That is literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard

Like you said in one of your posts, Joshua Jefferson is the former St. Mary's player UConn should have gotten. Having said that I am watching Aidan Mahaney on ESPNU and he looks like when he played at St. Mary's. He is the leading scorer so far in this game and he is very vocal. It's UCSB vs Hawaii.

I didn't see the arms wrapped around him.
