Lasan's out of bounds save....

[GlastonTim]

Does anyone have slow-mo footage of this play? He looked out from where I was sitting, anyone else think the same. Here's a tweet from Gottliebhttp://www.sportsgrid.com/ncaa-basketball/uconn-eeks-out-ot-win-against-memphis-thanks-to-the-worst-out-of-bounds-no-call-weve-ever-seen/

Yeah Doug that was the only reason the Huskies won the game First half Crawford just crossed half court and threw it back to Goodwin who didn't get over yet, he tried to get his feet over and when he touched it had only the left foot and he knew it so he jumped his other foot while moving his left yet again to make it look the part…….so it was backcourt or a travel and the ref staring at it saw nothing?

So many others both ways with rewind helps me get them right LOL…….Boat may have had a 10 second call too once as he just got over at 25 if he did…..not on him it was a last second cross court pass…….Doug needs to rethink his titles before saying stupid crap…….it was a missed call bout I'll send him a few more.

IIRC, the play where he got wild applause for diving for a ball was called out of bounds. But it was simply great hustle after a point in the game where UConn had been playing sort of flat. Was there another Kromah play being discussed?

 

[Marty Jackson]

i think it was a generous call for uconn. not sure it won the game for us but it looks like he was out of bounds.

Why am I not surprised that he failed to notice that Memphis got the same break when Goodwin slammed the ball off Nolan while standing out of bounds.

Yes the one in OT where he saved it during a nice run for us……..left foot hit down first it would seem for sure……..but hey these things happen. They missed about 2 other foul calls on Goodwin does Doug want me to dig those up for him? Maybe the game doesn't get to OT…….

Duke Edsall can ref our games anytime Mike Stuart would've thrown Kromah out of the game

 

[BoatShow]

Memphis fans across the internet are all cranky because of the foul discrepancy but there were some bad out of bounds calls both ways. I remember one right near the UConn bench where Memphis guy clearly knocked it out of bounds and they gave them the ball.

I love their fans "their former football coach's brother was reffing how is that allowed?!?!" Uhhh the Edsalls and UConn don't have an exactly friendly relationship and I'm also pretty sure he worked at least 2 of our 5 losses.

Not that the last one with 9 seconds mattered but how do you go to the replay and see anything BUT Jackson knocking that ball out……I mean kromah never touched it after Jackson hit it and they gave it to UM anyway…..why have a replay? The play meant nothing but I was laughing at the fact they didn't change it having the replay at their hands?

Thank you Mau. I was thinking exactly the same thing. Two angles clearly show Jackson pushed it out of bounds. How on earth can you review that and not overturn it. It was nice to be able to laugh it off at the time but it is worrisome to think that they can get it wrong even with incontrovertible video.

More than offset by the OOB no-call where they actually went to the booth (or whatever in basketball) and still didn't change the call where Memphis dude clearly bounced it out of bounds.

 

[phillionaire]

Some Memphis fans are really salty about this call. You can't really blame a loss on one bad call. They still should have made a stop on the defensive end. It's not like the out of bounds play directly gave us 2 points.

 

[mauconnfan]

They called 2 or 3 fouls on us in which Goodwin was the soul attacker/initiator………..I mean we may have fouled less so f-them!! If called correctly on the low post he would not have seen the OT, simply put!

 

[Scoe]

Yeah there were no bad calls against Uconn at all. The refs were equally bad on both sides, bottom line we beat them twice, excuses are tools of the incompetent.

I would recommend Memphis fans rewatch the game and count the number of times we challenged shots inside vs how many they challenged. then look at how aggressive memphis was on the perimeter harassing our guards. Memphis got tons of easy transition points and uncontested layups. I would have loved to take away 7 layups and give them 14 free throws. They would have probably missed 4 of those and we would have won in regulation.

 

[TheRogers]

Yeah Kromah was out of bounds.

The FT discrepancies were pretty significant but unless you watched you'd understand why that happened. Our bigs gave the Memphis guards a lay-up line throughout most of the game. I saw DD in 3 consecutive possessions watch one of the Memphis guards dribble towards him, dribble by him, and go for an uncontested lay-up. There weren't much shooting fouls on Memphis' end because the bigs didn't guard them much more often than not. That's also why Memphis' shooting percentage was so high.

Memphis' fans other gripe was that was that fouls weren't called evenly. They were saying their players were being hacked constantly. I didn't see any difference in terms of aggressiveness. When I saw the ball thrown inside, I saw just as much no calls against our bigs.

Unless you were betting.

Wow forgot about that……did it go off at -6?? That was a huge call……….OMG

Didn't Boat hit a 3 after it?

 

[David 76]

-6 it was

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

It looks like he saved it milliseconds before his feet touched the ground out of bounds. Looks to be a borderline good save to me. To close to call it definitely out off UConn.
