Selection Sunday-NCAA tournament thread

So battles for rebounds are basically off-tackle plays where anything goes with no whistle. Then Burke goes up and cleanly blocks a shot and the whistle blows?

 

College basketball officials can't keep up with the speed of the game anymore.

 

This has been a fun game.

 

The white-haired ref is fucking brutal.

 

Looks like the bad version of Russ Smith is taking over.

 

This has had all the elements of a great game except one: brutally awful officiating. There have been way too many inexplicably awful calls in this one, the one ugly tarnish on what should otherwise be remembered as a great final.

 

Higgins will have a sore back tomorrow from carrying the other 2 guys all night.

 

That three Hancock kid hit when should have already fouled out of the game isn't getting enough attention. UL caught a huge break when the officials handed what should have been his fourth foul to the wrong player.

 

I think Louisville is the better team but the reffing has still been crap, unsurprisingly the announcing crew have not mentioned the inconsistencies once.

 

Apparently nobody told Pitino there would be fireworks.

 

Is it me, or is there just far too much attention being paid to Kevin Ware? I get that injury was bad, but it's not like he was a huge contributor. It's a storyline, I suppose, but isn't it taking away from the real story, that the No. 1 overall seed won the national title?

 

CBS has a rule. You have to overcome adversity to win a title. If you didn't, CBS will invent it.
