Taylor has to hit those ridiculously wide open looks to beat duke

ridiculous push off on dukes winning basket. I would be furious if I were a UCF fan

They called a push off on him a minute earlier on the exact same play.

 

[Jaker]

man I hope Gonezaga or Florida St win the NC

They really swallowed the whistle favoring Duke that final minute but UCF gave it away.

 

[Ha Who]

PTSD

 

[billybud]

Give and take...ball didn't hit the rim..but 2 crucial points allowed...I saw calls not made all night going both ways...one's viewpoint will be influenced by his vantage point

But, great fans game...

Hook and hold. Technical foul all year.

 

[Scoe]

Close isnt good enough.

 

[billybud]

As in many games...there were non calls and arguable calls both ways...

Zion did foul at the end...

But UCF got a call when Cam was called for a foul when it was a completely clean block.

Tacko should have been out of the game with #5 when he slammed into Zion on a shot and nothing was called. and I bet dookies were irate when they saw a replay clearly showing a shot clock violation but they don't reverse the call and waive the points.

Oxes get gored...none was mine, so I just enjoyed the game.

 

[UconnU]

Liberty up on VT. Interesting game.

 

[billybud]

Duke is so lucky....UCF's shot barely rattles out...

Duke misses the late free throw but is not blocked out and gets the ball back...

and with a minute and half left..UCF bricks a dunk that would have had them up by six...and changed how Duke had to play offense.

UCF had their chances...both teams did...great game.

UCF should have won...but I give Duke credit for being a good team. Good teams win the close ones.

 

[UconnU]

I turned on the women’s game real quick. Buffalo is down 18 points at the end of the third and holds for an extended period of time for the final shot of the quarter. Lol.

Need to get me a Chuckxedo.

Part ballroom, part baller.

Houston - Ohio St. wearing each other's uniform is freaking confusing.

 

[superjohn]

Finally got a look at the ft line play and UCF was robbed....

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Oh Houston picking a fight. I’m surprised

 

[UconnU]

Charles Barkley needs to stop talking about Houston being “the best kept secret”. His mojo is toxic.

I have replayed this over and over...it looks like UCF's arm is over Duke player's arm if you look to the left..pinning him...but ball bounces out the other way over the UCF player's head on the right and into Barrett's hands.

 

[BugsyCT]

Gotta be the most chalk Sweet 16 in a long time. Already 2 regions where the top 4 seeds are in, Auburn in as a 5 is the lowest so far, if UH wins tonight the only double-digit seed left will be the Oregon/UC Irvine winner.

You don't see Barrett shove him in the back?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Houston needs to tighten up and put this away

I'll be surprised if they do. We've seen this rodeo before.

I don’t remember them choking at any point. Very steady team.

Thinking more along the lines of an AAC team making the second weekend. Too many close games going against us. And the Coogs missed a bunch of free throws that set up their Michigan loss last year. Hopefully they can close this out so I can have a team to give a damn about next week. I did like Purdue last night so I might adopt them. Spoke to Painter at the Hilton. Nice team.
