Double Dribble No-Call in Creighton Game

[ShockerHoops]

I'm surprised no one is discussing the double dribble that was not called on that last play.

Stinnett (or whoever was dribbling) was double-teamed, then tried to pass the ball to his teammate. In trying to gather the ball to pass it, he clearly touched it with both hands. Then, he lost the ball, got it back, dribbled once, then passed it to his teammate.

If you don't believe me, go back and rewind it, watch it slowly, and you will see. It's unfortunate, and I know many things added up to this loss, but last second plays in a one point game need to be called correctly.

We traveled multiple times and were allowed to continue.

I'm not referring to other plays. I'm referring to the final play where he lost the ball after touching it with both hands, regained the ball, dribbled it, then passed it.

That is a double dribble. Regardless of what happened prior to that, a last second missed call in a one point game is critical, and everyone knows it.

Who else saw it?

Too angry to see anything

MTXE is a tool also. Did anyone see that play?

[boyshocker]

Its a double dribble, travel whatever you want to call it. Replayed several times, no Shocker knocks the ball out of his hands. Should have been our ball with 5.6 on the clock.
mtxe is an embarrasment to MTXE

I just saw the highlights. I didn't notice it during crunch time but that was an obvious "pass to one's self".

Am I surprised that it wasn't called or it's being overlooked by a few retards here? No.

They're gonna say we could have done more to win, which I agree with. But also, you don't let blatant infractions go in the waning seconds of a game. There were a lot of blatant misfires today by the "fix".

The reason we lost the game was we didn't foul down by one with over 13 seconds to play. Maybe the refs were in shock as well?

Ok, I'm glad I'm not alone in seeing the call. I agree that the refs were probably in shock OR didn't know whether someone knocked the ball out of his hands. Also, the call would have been VERY unpopular in front of 17,000 screaming fans. My immediate reaction while watching on TV, when it happened, was "That's a double dribble!!" But no call came. No comments on the post-game show by Marshall, the radio announcers, or the TV announcers.

I don't think there was any "Fix" in on this game. I thought the Shockers fouled almost every time it was called on them, and I didn't see very many times when Creighton fouled that it wasn't called. Creighton's guards were much quicker and determined than ours today.

They were fired up to beat us...for some reason, the Shockers bring out an absolute FIRE in Valley opponents to beat us. Creighton is no exception. This marks two years in a row in Creighton when the game came down to the wire and the Shockers got a VERY BAD CALL (or non-call, as it were) at the end of the game.

We actually fouled several times in the last 13 seconds, but couldn't get the call. I guess we should have plowed one of their players over, but then they would have called the intentional foul.

why does everyone believe this? very poor effort to foul imo.

We have eyes. We saw the Shocker players trying to foul. Up to that point in the game, all of those would have been called. But it was obvious the officials decided to not call those at the end (just like not calling the double dribble).
Personally I don't think it was a fix. It was just the way the officials decided to call the game and in this case it worked against us.

It is quite obvious now that you did not watch the game today. No, it wasn't the best effort in the world, but that's not the debating point here.

just watched it again on espn360. in the last 9 seconds there was one possible foul that wasnt called. when i saw it live it looked like a pathetic effort to foul on wsu's part. after watching the replay it was still a poor effort to foul. i believe it was murry that at least made an effort to foul and for an end of the game scenario i agree it usually would be called but after kyles apparent effort to actually not foul i dont blame the refs for not calling it.
