screwed. How can you not call that tripping foul? Only if the tripper is a UNC player.

indeed. ncaa/espn wanted no part of a uri/dayton final.

NC player traveled right before game winning shot also. Refs gave that game to NC.

They did get hosed.

Absolutely, and it wasn't the first time that the officials ignored a foul by UNC in the NIT.

Well, if URI would have made their free throws, then all the rest would have been moot.

All I saw was a replay of the no-call when the URI player was tripped. Left a really bad taste in my mouth. Looks like nothing has changed when it comes to the NIT. They know who they want in the finals and they do whatever they must do to get them there.

Dayton will probably get screwed as well.

No argument here. And it is not just the NIT.

In addition, basketball officials in the past have been known to hang out with bookies. Some have even been caught cheating for such purposes. Some of the guys I have seen work college games, are either incompetent, or on the take.
