They're calling that bizarre arc lane violation.

On a made shot.

In a two-point game.

With 2.8 seconds left.

Holy hell.

3/17/2012 12:20:51 AM

haha, now the tech

3/17/2012 12:21:10 AM

weird, this is twice now they have called a lane violation during the tournament

3/17/2012 12:21:12 AM

Today, we are all Karl Hess.

3/17/2012 12:21:40 AM

pretty sure the player crossed the 3 point line before the ball was released... which is a lane violation...

3/17/2012 12:21:45 AM

Did they really just loae the game o. A lane violation??

3/17/2012 12:22:19 AM

hahaha oh my god that kid on the notre dame bench was crying

3/17/2012 12:23:02 AM

what's worse is they saw it happen yesterday and still did it.

3/17/2012 12:23:43 AM

on a second look, I don't think he crossed the line... bad call

3/17/2012 12:23:46 AM

what the fuck are you smokin? dude was clearly over the 3pt line before the ball hit the rim

hell, he was in front of the shooter before it hit the rim

3/17/2012 12:24:26 AM

is it rim or release? I thought it was release... which is why I said release...

3/17/2012 12:24:56 AM

The rule is you can't cross the free throw line extended until the ball hits rim or goes through the basket, if you started from outside the arc.

3/17/2012 12:25:28 AM

Horrible fucking call

And i hate ND

3/17/2012 12:26:15 AM

^^ok, the commentators got it wrong, thus me confused. they said release and entering the 3 point arc; not rim and foul line

[Edited on March 17, 2012 at 12:26 AM. Reason : ^]

3/17/2012 12:26:22 AM

God, here we go again.

The guy is beyond the FT line extended. From there you cannot go until the ball hits the rim.

Correct call. Goodnight. End of conversation.

3/17/2012 12:27:04 AM

it is 3-pt line AND FT line and rim, IIRC.

3/17/2012 12:27:16 AM

^^the commentators said release, thus my confusion. sheesh

barkley is an idiot. DON'T OFFICIATE AT THE END OF THE GAME. JUST SUSPEND ALL RULES.

Don't decide the game by calling something. Do decide the game with no-calls.

3/17/2012 1:45:55 AM

Called both the Ohio and USF upsets

Karl Hess officiating the Syracuse KState game...

3/17/2012 12:23:45 PM

how is syracuse getting these calls again?!?!?! what the fuck is going on here

3/17/2012 12:39:53 PM

3/17/2012 12:56:47 PM

HAHAHAHAA

3/17/2012 1:06:47 PM

looks like some psychic shit

3/17/2012 1:10:22 PM

dammit k-state is killing me. They can beat this team come on

3/17/2012 1:12:05 PM

Syracuse zone is milli.g k state. They cant get anything inside

3/17/2012 1:12:50 PM

UNC-A did what you should always do against the zone. Put a man at the free throw line and throw him the fucking ball. The zone falls apart against that because you have the option to shoot, dribble once then shoot or pass, kick it back to the wide open wing.

It works nearly every time. There is no better way to beat a zone, period. I remember Roshown McLeod scoring like 30 points once against a great Temple team when Duke ran that on every play.

3/17/2012 1:16:55 PM

Lehigh's coach talks like he's reading from a script

3/17/2012 1:22:01 PM

3/17/2012 3:24:58 PM

Gonzaga always fucks my bracket. Either I pick them and they don't do jack shit, or remember that they don't do jack shit when I pick em and then I don't pick em and then they fuck me by winning

3/17/2012 3:34:09 PM

so basically you dont keep up with college basketball all season and then you just pick a team based on their name, mascot, or colors?

Did you actually think Gonzaga was close to as good as OSU?

3/17/2012 4:27:53 PM

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!, I AM! WHAT I AM!

3/17/2012 4:33:50 PM

^^down 2 points with 5 min left.

3/17/2012 4:47:10 PM

"What do you want your tattoo to say?"

"'I am' on one side and 'What I am' on the other side"

"Aight, what font?"

"Tattoo font, please"

3/17/2012 4:50:39 PM

yeah i mean they might win but its ridiculous to act like you expected the zags to beat osu

3/17/2012 4:53:00 PM

It's difficult to tell whether Gonzaga has a legit squad each year

On one hand they've gone really deep when they've been a low seed, but I think when they've been a higher seed they make early exits.

Not a fun team to predict in the tourney

3/17/2012 4:57:49 PM

they are a legit team this year no doubt. borderline top 25. But OSU is arguably the best team in the country

3/17/2012 5:01:58 PM

"Did you actually think Gonzaga was close to as good as OSU?"

no, I didn't, not based on their performance this year, which is why I picked OSU. and OSU was taking a dump in the first half. what part of that doesn't jive with the statement I made at the time I made it?

then again, me picking the Zags wouldn't mean that I thought they were better than OSU, just that they would beat them in that game. Surely you understand the difference between the two, right?

wow, no foul on that crazy pushoff on the marquette player battling for position? come on

3/17/2012 5:52:53 PM

refs are sucking it up in this game. disciples of hess?

3/17/2012 5:53:26 PM

the correct bracket picking strategy varies based on how many people are in the pool and what type of people you are doing the pool with.

the smalller the field, the more favorites you should select.

with a larger field you stil pick favorites but you pick against local favorites or underdogs that everyone likes.

Your statement implied that you picked gonzaga. Which unless you're up against a HUGE field, or work with a ton of Ohio State graduates is just a dumb pick. Which is why i made that comment

"Your statement implied that you picked gonzaga."

no, it really didn't. I'm not sure what part of "Either I pick em and get fucked or I don't pick em and get fucked" implies either way if I picked em.

3/17/2012 5:57:36 PM

god damn. how does the NCAA have such consistently AWFUL officiating like that? dude CLEARLY took 3 steps. even Ray Charles could see that was a travel

this. everybody in that arena called the walk except the refs ??!!?

3/17/2012 6:03:46 PM

nah man, you don't want the refs deciding the game at the end of a half by actually applying the rules.

3/17/2012 6:04:48 PM

dude they were down ten points and you started whining about how whenever you pick them they lose.

Stop.

3/17/2012 6:05:12 PM

There is a SOLID base on that Lehigh pyramid.

when burro posted that, gonzaga was winning... pretty sure he posted it in the first half
