Tuned into it late, but I remember the announcers say that bodies were hitting the floor a lot.

the inconsistency in officiating (sometime from within the game!) is infuriating

Brad Underwood is modern gene keady

Underwood is a Mad Eye Moody look alike from the Potter films...I can't unsee it...

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Their head coach is gonna get raked over the coals because it looks like that decision to not foul when up 3 will cost them the game

 

[hawkeyewx]

Oof..... the Santa Clara guard wants to shoot a three way too badly.

Go Wright State!

Watch the replay. After the 3 with 2.4 seconds left, Herb Sendek (coach) runs after ref to call timeout but it was not granted. Ref had turned to run ...

 

[Franisdaman]

they are gonna be sick with how they messed up what should have been a win

 

[Franisdaman]

If Santa Clara, up 3 points, had fouled at the end of regulation, they would have won the game.

Instead, they lose in OVERTIME.

Watch how they messed up the ending:

But don't you go over end of game situations in practice after practice?

Heart breaking loss for Santa Clara.

Yep. And the coach Herb Sendek is a veteran coach - Miami (OH), NC State, Arizona State and Santa Clara. It looks like he brain locked for a second and was too late on the timeout call. If he turns to his right instead of left, the ref there may have granted the TO.

Also, not all teams foul up 3 late. For some reason ...

 

[MAXIMUSHAWKEYE]

The Penn team had the stomach flu. Not that it would have mattered.

Can you imagine having diarrhea while playing basketball?

Speaking of St Louis

He looks like a tatted up 12 year old nerd

 

[BigOHawk1]

It's been said but it's simply INSANE to NOT foul up 3 with under 10 seconds, let alone 2 seconds. It has and never will make sense to me..even if coach doesn't call it, jump bump the guy...game over...lucky Kentucky.

Watch how they messed up the ending:

LMAO!!!

good analysis.

can you imagine the IOWA board if a Ben coached team lost this way? Yikes....

And like I said above, they must go over this again, and again, and again in practice.

What a horrible way to lose the game.
