I should have never tuned in. SMU hasn't done one thing right since. Horrible pass.
 
Wait...what??? That was a goaltend???????
 
.-.
Larry Brown in a medical induced coma for the last 2 minutes of the game.

What a choke.
 
That is easily the worse call I've seen in quite some time.... If I was a pony fan, I'd burn the bitch down ferguson style!
 
.-.
Why would you even try to touch it?

Larry Brown absolutely cost them that game!! I can't believe his lack of coaching down the stretch!
 
Am I the only one that really doesn't care? I don't have any allegiance to this league yet unfortunately and look at all other programs as competition to get out of this mess.
 
How was that a goaltend? I had the sound off. Are they saying they kid from SMU touched the ball on the rim? That's not reviewable? What a ____ ending.

Not really. It would have hit the rim. By rule he goal tended it.
Just leave it alone. SMU's fault for not taking care of business. Don't ever leave it in the hands of the refs.
 
There's a reason this is called March Madness.

SMU needed 3 timeouts during that collapse.

One up 4 and their O stagnant. One up 2 trying to bring the ball up the court which resulted in a turnover. And one to wrap sense of that final call and set something up with 10 secs.
 
Nic Moore, wide open for the win, barely grazes the front of the rim.
 
The NCAA rules:

Goaltending occurs when a defensive player touches the ball during a fieldgoal try and each of the following conditions is met: (Exceptions: Rule 10-4.1.i)

1. The ball is on its downward flight; and
2. The ball is above the level of the ring and has the possibility, while in flight, of entering the basket and is not touching the cylinder
​
It had no shot at going it. It was caroming off (if it touched anything)... Maybe I'm misreading, but...

You beat me to it.... That ball had absolutely zero chance of going in, whether it hit the rim or not..... Horrible call... Can't think of one worse in recent memory

Ponies were straight up..... Robbed!

Right. And the ball was partially below the rim. I really can't think of a worse call. If this were Duke or UNC, rather than SMU, I wonder how the NCAA would respond.

I think they realized it, too. That's why there was that delay. But you can't review goaltend, and you already whistled the play dead. Who does the ball go to?

I was wrong. Well that's what I get for taking the analysts word for it being a "good" call. I suspect we're going to be hearing an awful lot about this in the next 24 hours. They'll say it was a judgement call and not reviewable. And then during the off-season they'll make it reviewable.

Frankly, a play that serious should be reviewable. Getting the call right is what matters most. And they blew it big time.

If that was goaltending then they need to replay the '83 NC State Championship and shutter the V Foundation, because it was the same play.

Offensive interference! Retroactively give Houston the title! This conference need some positive press...
 
I have said all season that these refs were trying to screw us and our conference.

Can you believe that the NCAA chief ref and also broadcasters lie directly to the fans as if we can not believe the evidence of our own eyes.
That ball was below the rim and to the side and had no shot of hitting rim.
These people are embarrassing themselves. Not really, they are shameless.
