[I COULDN'T AGREE MORE:
When the announcer has to make up an excuse for the St Joes guard NOT being called for a charge with..a lesson for younger players...." this is how you push off your man (lower your shoulder into the defender rather than using your ARM to push off to gain space to shoot...this results in a no call".....as they show the replay"..!!!@#@$!..Really? Oh when a guy lowers his head into the guys jersey and jumps into a standing defender....no call because that would be 4 on the center and we are only @18:00 minutes left in period 2.
If I went on I would never finish...
DONT BLAME VEGAS : Don't get me wrong Vegas likes CHAWK to win keeps the FANS interest and betting but with UNDERS... But lets face it this tournament is ALL about AD money now,,,,not Crowning a fair Champion... their not spending $3.8 billion on BLOWOUTS & mid regional with low market VALUE.....
Consider this: During the regular season how many overtimes do we see? With Extra time outs to SELL products, Media TO's Ads kills the momentum of the teams....either that or the REFS are told keep the games close if possible to keep the RATINGS UP, {even though they are falling.....}
With the game in the balance under 1 minute:
The final TO by St joes, led to the Ore Guard being tackled!! as he gets up to begin to sprint from mid court to the basket ALL alone...BUT the St Joes forward quickly decides its a "SCRUM" and tackles the player before he completely gets up from the floor.with the ball...NO EFFORT to reach for the ball..or attempt to defend his basket..Just dove for the head and landed on the player and stayed there.....like the basketball had been fumbled....
As everyone including the announcer who just could not help himself by telling us over and over how he JUST LOVED ST JOES Team BLAH BLAH.during the game NOW . he has to explain the graphic" flagrant 1 and 2 rules on the TV screen", but instead the refs were only concerned over the clock....{ as in how much more time can we get ST Joes to get back on top>?)
Really>? the reaction of the guard after his team scraped him up off the flour out from under the ST Joe's guy. thought the play was DIRTY..
. A couple of guys at the book, while we waited, began discussing the Antonio Brown hit in the
PITT/ CINCI Game during the NFL playoffs
{back to TV} ...Then this same announcer " who luvs the st Joes team, says the EAGLES could have used that same ST JOEs player on their defense the way they tackled this year.....WOW....
Based on what I saw..Oregon should have had at least 1 more foul shot and an extra possession....
Then I get a text from an A10 graduate telling me the PAC12 plays sissy basketball???..after I asked IF he saw that tackle?.
Maybe he was right the EASTERN conference schools have invented a new game "SMASHMOUTH RoundBall.... best Floppers, under-choppers, smackers and punchers move on to get their schools a BIG NCAAM March Madness Tourney $$$Check!
Never mind talent just have more viewers interested in seeing your team move on...
So stop complaining it how things work!! ]
