HORRIBLE - and one - call ended up costing them the game. As bad as they played without
that fathom call UNI still wins by one

Wrong you are.

Oregon now in big trouble

Don't look now, but St. Joe's is up 4 on Oregon with 4:44 left.

The refs didn't turn it the ball over multiple times to a person right under the basket. Also, if he gets out of the way and gives them the layup, they still have a one-point lead.

That is the point. He did get out of the way, gave him the lay up and got called for the foul anyway. He didn't touch him at all. Completely horrible call.

Viewership will go down because of that call? lol ok.

The problem is there is never any accountability. That call isn't even being talked about except on a UNI message board and maybe a handful of other places. And in a few days, it'll be totally forgotten about. Nobody gives a **** if a guy makes a bad call. The same guy is out a night later calling another game and making another stupid ass call. Referees definitely make impact on plays with their garbage officiating. That's not deniable. But nobody's ever gonna do anything about it. And as for tonight, it wasn't the reason for the UNI choke job. How could anyone blame that call on a loss like that? Nope. Not gonna happen.

No, viewership going down because of the mutltiple bad calls against AF Austin and UNI and no "little guy" left to cheer as afor as a result.

Name a bigger choke job in all of sports, ever.

Go.

What do you mean? Syracuse is a 10 seed.

Maybe the viewership at your household will go down, but it's not anywhere else.

Next time, let's have UNI know how to inbound the ball so then they're not in a position to be questioning calls at the end.

Who had the posession arrow at the end of regulation? If it was UNI, that makes Washpun's play even worse. All he had to do was go into the fetal position and wait to get fouled or tied up.

[lemuel777]

What do you mean? Syracuse is a 10 seed.

And Gonzaga a 11 so?

Dammit, Oregon keeps hitting big 3's; now St. Joe's can't get a shot off. 15-4 Oregon run. :(

I think you're ignoring how media markets, alumni bases, and brands work. If Davidson, Wichita State, VCU, and SFA were all in the Final Four, it would likely set a 15 year low for ratings. That's how this stuff works.

Not saying it's right or fair, but that's reality.

[proshox]

The number of coaches who don't foul early and often when down and the other team is in the "one & one" blows my mind. I don't get wasting the time and I will never understand the logic...

[ShockerFever]

And now when any casual observer or fan outside of the Valley sees a UNI shirt or a UNI graphic, they'll think "hey, that's that team that choked up a 12 point lead with 40 seconds left in the NCAA Tournament".

That's what they'll now be known for.
