Northeastern Screws by Ref.

[pnow15]

Saw three uncalled fouls against NE when NE had ball down by two.

 

[deedougie]

Hard to call a foul at that point. NE needed to drive to the basket. They were to static on that last possession.

 

[Mots010]

Eh, I didnt see it. Northeastern waited waaaay too long to get their offense going down two. They had 25 seconds and didnt start trying to get a shot until under 10, and they never did even get a shot. The strip looked clean to me.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Someone pull the trigger on a 3 there. Man, what do you have to lose!?

Hard to be confident driving to the basket when basketball culture involves swallowing the whistle on the last play and the defense can get away with far more contact than they normally can.

(I did not see the play so I do not mean to apply it to this exact situation)

On one foul Notre Dame player had both hands on Northeastern player and shoved him. Watch it again you'll see.

That Grant steal really shot them in the foot, Northeastern lost that game not the refs.

Wrong. Northeastern's best player was in foul trouble the whole game. They probably win by 6-8 if a couple of those BS fouls on him aren't called.

If you thought Northeastern was getting screwed, watch what is happening to UAB. The refs are practically helping ISU defend .

No They aren't doing UAB any favors at all!

You believe whatever you want but I don't see a conspiracy Iowa State can't defend.

That's what I said. ISU is fouling UAB every defensive possiession, and the refs are swallowing their whistles.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Utter BS. ISU player lowers his shoulder and mows down the UAB defender. Do refs even know what the block/charge rules are?

 

[Scoe]

UAB would have smoked ND.

That is what I am saying. ISU has been clutching and grabbing the last 10 minutes, and they only had 7 team fouls until they fouled a second ago.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I can't believe UAB let ISU got that shot off. Kids will be kids.

 

[Blueballer]

Justice is served in the end! march MADNESS!

 

[Rocktheworld]

I should have known better than to trust ISU at all. Never dug any of the hype they've been getting this and last year. Just didn't know they'd the bed that bad.

 

[UConnWingman]

I didn't like the call on the guy who knocked the ball out to another Northeastern player, only to have his finger land on the "emerging" face of a ND player. Boom, foul on the guy's finger. Huh? The Northeaster player had position, and the ND guy was scrambling for a loose ball. Thing is, the Northeastern player made contact with the ball and had sent it into another direction. That is the definition of "no call".

 

[swami7774]

Northeastern panicked. Simple as that. Nobody wanted to take the shot.

 

[ASweet3781]

Northeastern's last possession is why you save your timeouts for the end. I don't believe they had any when things broke down.

I said that when they were getting the ball back with 14 sec left down 2. I guess you can't blame the 14 seed coach for running out of timeouts in a 3 v 14 seed game, but yes, that is why you stash that $20 bill in your sock.
