Final 4 thread

Halfway to the ugliest title game ever! When it’s 44-40 Virginia over Texas Tech at the under 4 timeout in the second half on Monday night they’ll all be talking about UConn again.

How did we all miss that call? Refs suck so I understand that but all of us? Very surprising

I missed it but wasn't paying close attention, my buddy texted me right away freaking out. Refs have no excuse missing that.

I saw that and I never thought it was a double dribble until the replay was shown. Its amazing in the flow of a close game and at the end, how something so clear gets missed.

Did anyone here call it immediately?

I said something out loud, but not on here
But I mean... even the Auburn bench missed it..
 
Guy saved Jerome’s butt. Getting your fourth foul on a frustration foul is insanity.

Full disclosure I didn’t know dribbling the ball off your on foot can’t still be dribbled.

Needs to be knocked away by someone else.

To be fair to Jerome he was absolutely hammered on that shot before that. Never should’ve happened.

Of course it is, it's still your dribble unless the other team touches it.
 
Kyle Guy's 3 FTs are clutch, but his 3 pt shot with 8 seconds left to cut the lead from 4 to 1 pt was the shot of the game. If he misses that, the game is over.

I mentioned that Auburn bench thing in another thread. If they would have caught it and screamed and the players as well it might have been caught (albeit late whistle). I just think a lot of people including the refs missed it, partly because of the foot being involved and it wasn't the typical double dribble.

The irony of this on a UConn board. '11 and '14 are widely considered some of the weakest NC teams in recent memory, with the '11 NC game up there with worst ever in a lot of people's minds.

It doesn't have to be pretty, you just got to grind it out and get some luck (or a no call on a double dribble...)

Take it to the Hoo’s board.

You were just gifted an appearance in the title game, zip it.

'11 would destroy UVA, so would '14. Bazz and Boat would make Jerome curl up in the fetal position.
 
Now I have to root for Mich St. I don't think T Tech can beat UVA

They weren't strong UConn teams, but they played very good basketball the majority of those tourneys. Virginia hasn't. I think that was his point.

Ahhhh. That makes sense.
 
T-Tech vs UVA would be a win win for college hoops. F- Izzo and Mich St.

Where’s that Calzone Thread, the Pizza Hut P’Zone is back. I remember it not being terrible back in the day. (For anyone paying attention to the commercials at present)

Yeah I saw it one more time and recognized that. If he would have recovered the ball with one hand (in an attempt to keep the dribble alive) would it have been a double dribble?
 
The foul on Guy was a foul but a foul on a 3pt shot as time expires just isn't the sort of thing that gets called in that situation. Recall too that now in addition to the double dribble the refs missed a lane violation on Jerome on the deliberate missed FT against Purdue.

No question it was a foul just like no question it was a double dribble. You call them because that's the rules regardless of time

Is there a video of the lane violation? I looked briefly and didn't see one and havent seen it questioned anywhere else

No. Unless I heard Staratore explanation wrong.

No from what I understand that would have just been a continuation of his dribble so no call

Also '11 wasn't just some fluky team. Kemba is one of the best college players in recent memory and one of the best guards in the NBA, Lamb is about to sign a major contract, Bazz is a badarse. That team had talent.
 
Well if nothing else this episode has helped to illuminate how few people know rules as basic as what constitutes a double dribble.

Yeah I know. I guess it's because they finished 9-9 and in 9th place in the Big East that team doesn't get the credit it should even though the final was ugly as hell. Sometime between the first BE tourney game against Depaul and when they beat Louisville for the BE title they turned from the 9th best team in the BE to the best. People seem to miss that point. They were an unbeaten team outside of BE comp and in single elimination tourney style games.
That team had intimidating size, too. That was an excellent team, not as good as 99 and 04, but they could match up to any team they faced and they could play well against teams that wanted to play a slow pace.
