Huskies and their coach are total boneheads. Everyone saw this coming 10 minutes ago.

3/20/2011 2:26:47 PM

henson should be benched for the first 9.30 minutes of the next game

he tried to grab the out of bounds ball and gave washington another shot

then he tried to goaltend, or did goaltend, i couldn't tell but it looked like a distance of 0-1.3nm between his finger and the ball

3/20/2011 2:27:01 PM

Washington's coach is also to blame for not asking for more time. Totally inept in the clutch.

3/20/2011 2:27:11 PM

Just went back and looked at the inbounds pass that Henson tipped. He was mighty close to touching the ball before it crossed the baseline. I couldn't tell definitively either way...but it was very close. IIRC, that's an automatic technical foul if he did touch the ball prior to it crossing the baseline...but it was way to close to make that call. Not really arguing the call, just pointing out that it was close.

3/20/2011 2:33:47 PM

Holy shit....

^ he landed out of bounds too. you can't do that.

3/20/2011 2:35:58 PM

Romar said that they asked the refs to check the clocks and they said they did.

Wow refs screwed them at the end.

3/20/2011 2:37:44 PM

**SPOILER**




post game is saying the officials didn't do their job

3/20/2011 2:37:56 PM

washington coach said they did ask for review of time - refs said they did review...uh oh

3/20/2011 2:37:59 PM

Anthony wants to call Kenny Smith out so bad for being an UNC shill. That set seems very tense.

And fwiw I think Romar is lying to cover his ass.

[Edited on March 20, 2011 at 2:39 PM. Reason : ff]

3/20/2011 2:38:06 PM

Lol so Washington contested the time on the clock, which should have been 1.2 for the last shot vice 0.5, and the refs claim they 'reviewed' it

then the postgame crew calls the refs out on it with the review clock


typical tar heel home-cooked bullshit, even with henson trying his best to give it away

[Edited on March 20, 2011 at 2:40 PM. Reason : ^lol OH THE DRAMA]

3/20/2011 2:40:05 PM

he has to be, there's no way an impartial official checks the clock and doesn't change it in that situation

3/20/2011 2:40:13 PM

^^^I wouldn't doubt that. Of course he's gonna say that he asked them to look...but they obviously didn't look. So I don't know...

i tend to agree with that. because if anyone was looking at what they were showing with the officials clock post game, there's no way they could have left it at .5 seconds


although this is carolina we're talking about

bomani jones made a good point

whenever the monitor is checked it's a big deal, refs asses stick out on camera for a couple minutes ... we didnt get that in this game

3/20/2011 2:43:43 PM

i saw no gratuitous ref ass-shots

That's why I think Romar was probably lying about asking for a review...I really doubt the refs would outright lie to him and say "we already reviewed it" when they obviously had not.

3/20/2011 2:50:48 PM

Whether he lied or not, (I think he did) the refs still colossally fucked up by not reviewing it.

3/20/2011 2:58:33 PM

yea that is what everyone was saying after the game...that maybe they didn't break a rule by not reviewing it (if they weren't asked) but by common sense...they should have reviewed. they walk awfully close to the line of right/wrong during these unc games

le sigh

3/20/2011 3:05:32 PM

Michigan looks like Duke of 3-4 years ago. Unathletic white guys shooting all 3's and falling down all over the place.

3/20/2011 3:17:49 PM

^ excellent analogy.

3/20/2011 3:28:58 PM

Yeah, this Duke team seems harder to hate then past teams.

3/20/2011 3:33:38 PM

Only guys I really don't like are Kelly and Singler. Really I don't dislike Singler, I just think he is way overhyped.

[Edited on March 20, 2011 at 3:40 PM. Reason : what a crap foul on the rebound]

[Edited on March 20, 2011 at 3:40 PM. Reason : irving closing in on double digits with 1 shot taken]

3/20/2011 3:34:16 PM

bad call to end the half. I hate the way this Michigan team is playing. Duke should be forcing tempo... they're playing right into their hands. terrible.

3/20/2011 3:46:37 PM

The clock explanation from the head of officials is COMPLETE BULLSHIT. They say go by the whistle, not the clock. They NEVER did that in the regular season. They always went by the video replay.

3/20/2011 3:53:42 PM

this guy sounds like Charlie Sheen

3/20/2011 3:54:24 PM

lolz @ pitino sucking up

3/20/2011 3:54:47 PM

if you can review when the ball falls out of the net to get the correct time with under a minute left, then why can't you review the time based on when the ball touches out of bounds?

3/20/2011 3:57:04 PM

Colt McCoy can't believe that call

3/20/2011 4:03:27 PM

^^^ hahaha was totally thinking the same thing

[Edited on March 20, 2011 at 4:05 PM. Reason : d]

3/20/2011 4:04:58 PM

that was a pretty bullshit explanation by the head of officiating

also, Clark Kellogg and Jim Nance are annoying as fuck, especially with how they try to justify every single foul call the refs make, and compliment the refs for making the right call

3/20/2011 4:09:54 PM

Gym Nance

3/20/2011 4:10:38 PM

I miss Billy Packer and his hatred of... everyone and everything.

Yep

3/20/2011 4:13:45 PM

god damn Nolan Smith... holy fuck


and Duke has been by far the most impressive team to me in the tournament so far

[Edited on March 20, 2011 at 4:18 PM. Reason : d]

3/20/2011 4:16:40 PM

Smith in full-on superman mode right now

3/20/2011 4:19:38 PM

Singler is shooting like shit

3/20/2011 4:21:29 PM

Duke getting all the calls also.

3/20/2011 4:22:16 PM

^^^^ probably, but they really haven't played anyone yet. Michigan is a 13 loss team that was .500 in conference.

[Edited on March 20, 2011 at 4:22 PM. Reason : x]

3/20/2011 4:22:47 PM

Ryan Kelly could have come here

3/20/2011 4:22:57 PM

he has Shavlik Randolph disease

3/20/2011 4:25:10 PM

nolan smith was awesome in the reg season though, too

michigan not being a "good team" has nothing to do with the fact that he is the man.

i, personally, think duke has played sloppy today. outside of nolan smith. and a couple of other clutch plays, of course. that is, i don't think they are playing their best...or even close to it, against michigan. so its not like i see this as duke playing their usual game and struggling against an unimpressive team

but that is just me. def feeling slightly better about the game now. the first half was making me veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery angry.

3/20/2011 4:26:08 PM

Wasn't disputing the Smith part. He's nasty. Definitely one of the top three players in the tournament.
