I filed it under ‘suspected point shaving activity’.

FWIW, I saw the line on two services as UCSB by 3 and by 3 1/2.  Mitchell went to the line with UCSB up 3 with 4 seconds left and hit both free throws.  If it was point shaving it would have a perfect opportunity to throw the game but he did the opposite.

I said “suspected”  ;)

Close game with 5 minutes left in the PAC 12 Championship. Crazy UCLA is competing with the injuries they've had

So are you saying we haven't competed this year with our injuries.  I guess over coming a 1-4 start to finish tied for second wasn't competing.  Your passive/aggressiveness slams on IU is getting old.

He has done well at UVA I was very impressed with him and always liked him. 

I like Franklin but he has really had not progressed since he left IU.  His best shooting season was his sophomore year at IU.

anyway, the point wasn’t that IU couldn’t have used him — they most certainly could — but when someone says that IU could have used him today, the fact was that he played poorly today for Virginia.

Woke up to this being hailed the worst call people said they’d ever seen. Yeah, maybe. 

I'm trying to figure how on earth stripes gets offensive foul from this. ... Borovicanin leaves his feet. He is inside the arc. Bailey doesn't use either arm to create space. I'm flummoxed. I have no horse in this race and yet I'm so incensed by this call -- I  just threw a chair!

Terrible call. Refs should get suspended for such flagrantly bad calls and fired if they make too many of them.

Coincidentally, I'm watching a documentary about Tim Donaghy right now. They talk about some of the s**t that NBA refs pull along with how they'll hold grudges against players, coaches, and teams and call games according to those grudges. I'm sure NCAA refs are the same.

I’m forgetting which ref it was but remember a game where the ref challenged Tim Duncan to a fight. Talk about over the top. Duncan was just sitting on the bench laughing

Joey Crawford. He had grudges with Tim Duncan, James Naismith, and probably his maker too.

If you're Notre Dame... You go after Shrewsberry right?

Bunch of Georgetown chatter yesterday. Sounds like ND is in the hunt too.
