Big East 2024 Offseason

[Cream Biggums]

Surely with a win tonight we would lock up a 2 seed? I know the committee didn't rate us as highly as the AP in its original reveal but who could realistically be the 8 teams ahead of us if we win tonight?

kam's shot at the buzzer was called good on the floor


there was NOT OVERWHELMING evidence it was not good


we had to win that game twice

Fair point, but there is no contraversy over who won OT.

Yup.  No angle showed any evidence that it wasn't off in time. So unless they had alternate angles, they were making a guess to push this game to OT.

IMO, it is already locked in.

We won anyway. Two downsides to the refs' call (besides not having the W)-

Our team lost some of their advantage over PC in regard to being better rested for the game tonight.

That last play in regulation was/would have been one for the ages. Waving it off sends it to circular file #13.

One last look mainly because of Fanta's reaction. The shot definitely beat the buzzer but the backboard light, I am still not sure. Amazing

Great—are we now going to have a scoop argument analyzing the speed of sound versus the speed of light in an arena setting?

A classic...

I know Fanta gets a lot of flack, but the man just truly loves college basketball.

[Mu8891]

I thought the shot was good.

And … even w / out TKO, MU will beat Prov tonight.

Who doesn't like Fanta? That guy is awesome. Sports are supposed to be fun and he's always having a good time.

[MU82]

I really wanted the shot to be good, obviously. But like the refs, I'm convinced the basketball was still on Kam's fingertips when the backboard lit up. Needed another tenth of a second!

Soulless internet dickheads who think he is fake.

The whole Big East show picked Providence tonight, stating how great of D providence has been playing... some forget how Providence played a few weeks back in Fiserv.

How the hell is Karaban only a sophomore? He looks 30 years old.

It’s his 2nd year of school

[Carl]

He’s a first grader!? Going to get sick of that kid for sure

[94Warrior]

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.

Agreed.  I think it was off his fingertips from every angle i've seen.  Definitely not irrefutable evidence to overturn the call on the floor.  Breeding & McConnell strike again!

Also agree and I think it was on Paint Touches that made the argument  it was a push shot so the finger tips were not actually in play.  Regardless amazing how different people perceive the same replays - I could not discern anything like definitive evidence, it was still touching any part of his hands.  At best it appeared that maybe it was but just as likely or more likely it wasn't.  Oh well moot point.

U Conn pulling away from Johnnies. Huskies have so much talent hard to overcome

[MuggsyB]

Nice tackling by the Jonnies to get a 5 sec call.
