Dude took three steps before shooting the “game winner”. None of the game announcers commented on it.
College basketball officiating is just trash.

I saw the same thing. Definitely 3 full steps.
He was pushed on his hip
If he traveled it was cause he was fouled
The refs swallowed the whistle and let the players decide the outcome

2 steps. Not sure why people are saying he took 3 steps. it wasn’t even close to a travel.
As a Official, he definitely traveled, if that was UK Ayers calls it
He clearly traveled- if that hip check is a foul, there is a foul on every possession
It was at least three steps. It could be argued he took four.
There’s no gather step in NCAA. With that in mind look where his dribble ends and how many full steps he takes. I count three.
If that hip check was a foul, call a foul.
It was a terrible act of swallowing the whistle on the travel.
Dude needed a walking stick for that stroll.

Travel is not called near as much in college anymore
You realize how many step back threes are a travel? Happens a few times every game but never called
Euro step, jump stops
I see a handful of moves that are a travel every game and it's never called anymore

That was a clear travel. If ref didn’t see it he’s blind. If he did, which he surely did, he just decided the game.
Eh. Make them call it.
If you have refs whistle buzzer beaters on traveling calls, someone will complain about that.
Maybe they can take it t the monitor four more times, too.
Human error happens. Enjoy the ride.

So then you’re saying it was a travel but they let stuff that is equally egregious or worse go all the time?
That’s a travel, but they don’t call it in NBA games, so they did the same here.
The officiating is by design. They want it to be the NBA. That's why Jimmy Dykes keeps ranting about continuation and how it needs to be adopted by the college game. Also, in recent years, you see players jawing with the refs after every call. Years ago, that wasn't a thing. You're starting to see certain players protected by refs as well. The game is slipping into obscurity. At least for the traditionalists, that is.
There was three. Don’t see how anyone could even argue about it. Maybe the ref was looking for the foul instead or something , only thing I can think of. Big shot and I’m sure they’ll take it. Ha.
I agree with you bud. I don’t know if it should or shouldn’t be called but someone said he only took two steps and he clearly took three before he shot. Big shot for sure though.
Does not change the rules, fouled or walked. It was not a fair ending. Was not rooting for either team. I would like to see refs do their jobs. Look at some of the missed calls in our game, go check the dook game. You will see one way whistle that whole first half IIRC.
There have been a lot of "NBA" style steps this year in college basketball. It is almost as if the NCAA has loosened the calls to prepare those going to the NBA for the next level.

Whatever, he's wrong.
I'm tired of people acting like rules should be different at the end of a game.
