*****NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 Friday Thread*****

Wiscy with a medium-grade meltdown against the press....just cost them the lead late. It's good to see that other teams (Wiscy, UNI, etc.) at times can struggle against the press.
 
Jeez, the officiating is just random. ND definitely fouled on the game-clinching steal, a play that gets whistled almost every time.

I thought it was a foul as well....however, that Wisconsin guard has got to better protect the ball when dribbling. I realize it was probably the last thing on his mind (thinking the defense would go for a steal), but you have to shield the defender off better. Being up three at the time, I actually thought the ND guy was trying to foul him so Wiscy couldn't get a three-point shot off.

Man, no kidding. Refs just let it go at the end. Didn't even call the intentional on ND when they were up three and had two to give before Wisconsin could go to the line.

Definitely should have protected better against it, but as you say, it was so blatant as to appear almost intentional.

He reached all the way across the body, making clear contact every inch of the way. I don't know how that possibly went uncalled.

Yes, officiating is horrible and gets worse in tourney because they change the way they called it during the season!

:facepalm
 
Syracuse is giving Zaga a lot better game than I thought.
 
Jeez, these officials in the NC-Hoosiers game are blowing the whistle every time that Indiana even gets CLOSE to a Heel player!! It's OK for the NC post player to lower a shoulder and bowl over the Indiana player, but let a Hoosier get within a zip code and here comes another whistle!
 
Wow all 4 ACC teams may end up winning. Wisconsin and Zaga lead most of the way.
 
That's exactly why I cam on here Nick. I wanted to see if anyone said anything. One on one and block is not vertical. Slaps arm and "gulp"!

We would have died!
 
Carolina has the best front court in college basketball....and I don't think it's close.
