Dude that is offensive foul in both college and the NBA, you can't kick your leg that far out like that. Now i will say the refs need to be consistent on both ends because Dillingham got away with doing the same in the 2nd half when an A&M defender blocked his shot and he kicked out his leg causing the defender to fall over.

That was a terrible call. It happens on most contested jump shot. Newton and Spencer kick their legs out constantly

Lol y'all can't be objective when it comes to UK/Calipari, I was rooting for A&M to win just like y'all but I'm not gonna ignore what my eyes saw.

If you're reffing that game you call that foul? C'mon. Even Bilas who bends over backwards to justify calls noted how absurd that was. You can call a charge on every contested three if that's a foul. It's about extending your legs unnaturally to initiate contact. It's not just a foul any time their legs touch.

Honestly I thought it was a clock issue when they blew the whistle.
 
There is nothing "vertical" about the shooter's legs here, NBA refs made this a point of emphasis with James Harden because he kept raking up 4pt plays and shooting fouls with this same maneuver and it's now trickled down to the college level and they're trying to call it the same

Lots of fouls don’t get called, especially last minute.

Creighton won by making 2 free throws with 12 seconds left, on a good call that was a pretty clear foul

From my perspective it looked like a Creighton player had an arm pushing into the body during the shot, and jumped into his landing space which sent both players to the ground because of the contact. Unless it happened after the buzzer, that’s also a pretty clear foul that should have sent SJU to the line for 2 free throws

But when you blow almost a double digit lead with 10 minutes left, the basketball gods don’t treat you well
 
Texas A&M won the game because everybody here resisted the temptation to call them the winner when they were up on KY in regulation. Not even a joke about Tre Mitchell's mom. A gut check, and The Boneyard rose to the challenge.

In addition to 5 road losses now by the top 6 ranked teams this week, Oklahoma adds another from the Top 10 by losing at Kansas.

Don't anybody say anything if WSU gets up on Arizona. Let 'em play.

I would but I would keep it consistent on both ends because UK got away it too and was it egregious on UK's side because Dillingham caused the defender to fall on his face and there was no call

Starting Furphy and playing him more has helped the offense. They still have no depth, which I knew was an issue. Really tough to win six in March that way.

True but it also gives you a guy to attack every possession. He looks like a little boy out their.
 
Didn’t watch it but looks like an odd ending in UTST game. Down 4, they hit a 3 with 9 seconds left, then sent to foul line a second later. Hit both to win game

Yeah it's an offensive foul, he was already coming down fine and didn't need to stick his left leg out.
 
Anyone see the end of TTU/KSU? Tang called TO down 1 with 7 seconds after his point guard got a good switch and iso. Spent majority of the TO drawing a play up with his staff sans the players. By the time he sat down to tell the players, the refs are calling for players on court. TTU player slides himself in the huddle, sees the play. Don't think it matter anyway, but just seemed odd by Tang to call a TO there and then not give time to draw up a decent play.

Right now of the top 12 only UNC and Duke have completed and won all games this week.

Zona playing now with Illinois and UConn up tomorrow.

Are they actually good or were they just overhyped because of the Duke win? I haven’t seen them play outside of the Duke game

Both. They are good but they are more top 10-15 than top 1-5

"Normal shooting motion"

It was obviously a foul.

You are nuts. That was an all-time horrible call.

Look at the picture two posts above, he stuck his leg out to try and get a 4 pt play. That's an offensive foul

Why would I look at an awful quality still shot when I can just watch the video replay and see that it was an absolutely atrocious call?
