Think it was @Buffnik who posted who he wanted to advance. Thought about it for a bit wondering why he didn't want Creighton to win. Then it hit me it was in ****ing Nebraska.

2023 NCAA MARCH MADNESS GAMES THREAD

- Start date
Creighton didn't get beat by that call anyway really. They lost because they couldn't hit threes at all.
.3. When they went back to see when the clock started from the 1.02 mark, they said the clock started .3 or more late, so the .3 at the end was cancelled out. That's what I heard/saw.
And they had their "NY Expert" official review the call - he said it was a clear foul. How much do you have to push the hip in the act of shooting, to cause an effect?
I thought it was a clear foul. And not much protest from the Crieghton coach

That type of contact was let go throughout that game. It was VERY physical. That's why we have pregame meetings. When you think you might have that, you have to pregame how you're going to handle it. Pretty clear watching it that they didn't.
I didn't pay attention to that type contact during the game, so I won't argue with you.
Watching when they replayed that, I thought the clock was started a few 10ths late. I started CU in 1966 and can't understand what could be wrong with a 1969 stopwatch. (In HS track, we had to help out too - I remember being taught to start the watch when you saw the smoke, not when you heard the pistol.)Based on a 1969 stopwatch
I'd rather see a game under-called than over-called and I didn't initially like the call but after seeing this angle it is hard to argue that it wasn't a foul. Having said all that, I still would have been good with a no-call there.
This is what I saw. Still, I prefer they don’t make the call there. Easy to say after the fact and watching the replay a dozen times.
And I was rooting heavily for Creighton.
Great game
It was a close call with the score tied and the clock running out. No matter how it was called there would have been people complaining and blaming the officials.
I'm not a SDSU fan. I would have preferred Creighton to win but they didn't. SDSU didn't win and Creighton didn't lose because of the officials. That possession took roughly 13 seconds IIRC. This means that both teams had 39 minutes and 47 seconds of game time to make sure that the game didn't come down to a refs call.
It was a foul and could have been called or could have been ignored. Don't leave yourself in that position.

I didn't realize he was the coach of the that George Mason team that made the final 4 until they mentioned it with a few minutes to play
With Miami and FAU winning this weekend Florida becomes the 6th different state to have 2 teams in the Final 4:

When they had that drought for about 4 and a half minutes or whatever it was, they were in trouble.
That will win you basketball games right there.
That Miller dude from Miami didn't miss a damn shot, pretty sure it was him anyway. 7-7 from the floor and 13-13 from the line, damn. I remember some dude from Duke doing that once, Christian somebody, lol. Doesn't happen often.

True, but if its not a foul for the first 39:58 of the game it can't be one that late. I'm also making a call that late only if I have a very clear look at a play. If I'm in Cassell's shoes, I'm not calling that. It is what it is......but I'd be floored if Michael Irving (who is awful), Joe Lindsay, and Lee Cassell advance to next week.

I generally like chaos in the tournament, but only knowing the names of 6 players in the Final 4 doesn't feel that good.
