What a shame. So close for UT Martin. Folks will be sitting for a bit with campus on lock down.

Not sure UNC makes it to the sweet sixteen. No discipline.
 
Who were the refs? Can't find their names anywhere.

How many people may have left the arena between when the TV announcers said campus was on lockdown and when they finally announced it? Hopefully they didn't let people leave. The announcement should have been made immediately when the campus wide alert was issued. I call shenanigans.

Man,what those refs and that arena announced did totally jobbed UT Martin! That technical call was a six point swing and was no way a flagrant foul. Just terrible officiating. DD charged on 4 straight plays before she finally got called for it and fouled out! Terrible!!!!!
 
I am so glad we didn't land DD. She and Geno/Chris would have lasted about 30 seconds. Frankly, I would rather lose than have a person like that on the team. And the worst part is the media just sucks it up.

This is the worst hose job I have ever witnessed. Worse than clockgate. UT-M was hosed, jobbed and had the game taken away from them. This ending really puts a bad mark on women's championship basketball.

It's repulsive. UTMartin played their hearts out and won that game. Can't believe their coach's head didn't explode after that travesty flagrant foul ruling on the DeShields' Oscar performance.
 
I'm glad to see this part of the thread. I couldnt believe my eyes. The refs gave the game to UNC. All the fouls on TM and non on UNC. It all started with the play looking at the camera and making the flagarent foul. Then all the calls went UNC way. This is terrible. Reminds me of the ole Tenn games.

I am guessing this is a big reason she made her choice as she did. She is super talented, but the announcers pointed out UNC had too much one-on-one in the first half which had them playing from behind in the second. I didn't see the first half so I don't know if that was in reference to only DD. We know that doesn't fly in Geno's system unless HE makes that call . Remember the DT and Stacey Dales one on one? That was Geno's call, not DT's.

I don't normally cheer for Pat Summit's alma mater, but I was today.

Diamond is cheating her talent beyond belief.
 
Pretty impressive comeback by UNC. I thought the flagrant call was correct, though the timeout call was inexcusable. Loved Xylina's butt-shot.They'll be pretty good as these Freshmen mature.

I have a hard time believing she was ever going to come to UConn. She likely enjoyed the recruiting process (which she has every right to do), the prestige and ego-stroking of being sought after by the greatest program in WCBB history. But I have a hard time believing that she was prepared to do things Geno's ways and give her credit for understanding that reality.

UNC coaching, which is basically to roll the ball out to center court and yell "GO"...seems a perfect fit for her.

if you run face first into someone's waist high arms that is a flagrant foul ? I do not think so *


* unless your name is Diamond

You must be watching your replays on a 15 inch monitor like the refs. One of the most obvious acting jobs I've seen in long long time.
 
I wouldn't say that UT-Martin lost -- it was more like they got mugged. Refs lost control of the game for a few minutes and NC took advantage.

The next time someone tells you that coaching isn't nearly as important as natural talent, give them a video of this game. DD played with more discipline in high school. You really can't say she's a freshman at this point in the season based on the minutes she has played.

There's not a player on the UT-Martin team that would have been recruited by NC, much less get any minutes on their team. Yet they outplayed NC today.
 
I'm glad other people saw the horrible calls made by the officials in this game. The UTM coach had great restraint after that cheap flagrant call against them. This game just goes to show how much the refs can control the outcome

According to the update on my phone.... the police had the suspect in CUSTODY at 5pm..... while the game was still playing :mad:
 
y'know, Boxerpups, coming from an Orange fan, that sounds a tad like Mitt Romney complaining about too many wealthy folks running for office. Nobody has benefited more from beneficial officiating and clock-keeping than the Voles.
