Will Tyler push to play against The Friars?

If it were anyone other than Providence I would say yes. However they tend to play physical borderline dirty so I will say no. There were enough events that happened yesterday with Duke and Creighton losing that our 2 seed should not matter whether we win or lose tonight. If they get to Uconn I say he at minimum sees minutes.

The correct call was made.  Had the teams been reversed and they called that good, this board would have been apoplectic.

This looks good to me.  Certainly it's close as it can be but I don't know how you can claim it's the correct call.

Because of the way his fingertips were still on the ball.

Yeah you can't tell anything from that.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Yeah you can't tell anything from that.

Is that the point for a reversal?

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Well they saw more than that shot. They may have seen shots that we didn't see. I don't know.

[StillAWarrior]

Yeah, as much as I wanted it to be good, I thought it was late. I think they made a good call.

[Dr. Blackheart]

That's as close as any I can remember. Amazing. Agree, it would be a crappy way to end it. Play on, I guess.

I think if it was going to end the game and not OT they'd have called the shot good.

I don't mind ridiculously close calls going against my team.  Any call on any bang-bang play is going to anger 1/2 of the audience.    I am more ticked about Stevie getting taken out in front of the ref without a call.

[Warrior Code]

I know they review when the shot is released, but is the moment the clock starts reviewable? In this case, say the timer starts the clock a couple tenths before the ball was actually touched. Could the refs adjust the clock by that much time, meaning the shot would have counted (even though it was still on his fingertips when the lights went on)?

I haven't seen a good angle on it so I'm not saying that's what happened here, just wondering about the rule.

Yeah, I'm still pissed about that. I'm getting a little sick of this crap.

Good no call

Yes. They can review everything related to the clock.

[Warrior Code]

Yes. They can review everything related to the clock.

Got it, thanks

I agree.  I tend to lean more to Sultan's way of thinking on the refs.  In general, they're not too good, they're influenced too much by the crowd, but they are not consciously biased for any team. 

But it sure does feel like you can just beat the hell out of Stevie for some reason and it's ok. 

Also, it occurred to me while watching the Creighton-Providence game that every screen Oduro sets is a moving screen and always adds a little hip check or nudge or whatever he can.

Reviewable but note it is the floor official who starts the clock in that instance, not the timer.

This is why I don't want Tyler playing tonight.
