Oh my, a ref made a call regardless of time on the clock!

And it was a legit, hard to see, outstanding call. 

That ref is gonna look at the replay tonight and be damn proud for making a necessary call with the game on the line.

An IU story; I was home plate for the all-campus intramural softball finals. Men on in the bottom of the fifth for a team that was down one. On a 3-2 pitch I rung a guy up looking. The batter nodded at me and walked away. No one on his team said a word. Small stakes but one of my favorite moments as a ref/umpire.

San Diego State shot 23% from 3 and 66% from the line and won.  Helped that Creighton only shot 11% from 3; that makes an Archie Miller team look like good shooters.

That almost never gets called at the end of games.  

You are right, it doesn't. But it should. If it's a foul 2 seconds into the game, it's a foul with 2 seconds left.

Daughter lives in San Diego near Balboa Park...used to work in marketing for San Diego State.  She does not follow SDSU sports.  Just said that she was surprised that she did not hear any yelling in her neighborhood when they won.

My wife and I were watching the end of the game and spot checks throughout.  All I saw was missed 3s.  And rebounds.  And players roughing it up...

It was all captured on video ...

And that would be fine, except that hadn't called that (or worse) all game. See foul totals. Guys were getting banged at the basket all game but a gentle touch decided it. 

Yeah, I don’t like the call. Body contact was minimal. Perfect hand positioning. I’m not an advocate of letting all things go at end of games but this was super soft. No skin in the game but if we (IU) got jobbed by that call in the exact scenario we’d be justifiably hysterical.

The problem is they hadn’t called that all game.  This game was physical.  How are players supposed to know what they can get away with?  Players also know they can get away with a little extra at the end of games.  I don’t care who won but don’t like it.

Also breaking out a manual stopwatch and comparing it to the clock at the arena is ridiculous.

I’ll take your (and Jay Wright’s - he is fired up on postgame) word for it, I napped until the under-8 lol. I did think it was the right call without the context of how the rest of the game was called.

Anyone taking a 3-2 pitch in slow pitch softball that is anywhere near the plate, should be rung up on general principle alone

They didn’t call much the whole game.  Horrible call.

Physical during the game is different from a push that changes a shooter’s balance

As miami progresses through this tournament at what point do we admit we had a tough second round draw?

Meh, it was subtle and soft. Both players moving towards the basket. Not upper body contact. I, with video replay evidence, do not think that should be called.

MY GUESS. I think the official THOUGHT he got him on the arm from his angle during the shot. It looked like it from that angle. Rough call imo. But thems the breaks, I guess.

I don’t think it changed anything.  The final little nudge came after he released and as Barkley pointed out postgame he had already missed the shot at that point. Pretty soft contact to blow the whistle there in what was a physical game in my opinion.

As good as these teams are left playing, I still feel like we were a healthy Xavier away from being right there. It was wide open this year. We lost our dogg! He was our best perimeter defender and he pushed the ball up the court like no other. I think Kopp/Galloway would have had a lot more open looks if we had X all season. I don’t think people understand how big a loss he was . Bringing Galloway off the bench gives us depth and our team wouldn’t have been so worn out.

We couldn’t defend like most of these teams who played this weekend. Not enough athleticism.
