College Bball Thread

Lol college basketball being college basketball.   Ohio st wins it at the buzzer.   Rutgers did everything right at the end of that game except hit that last FT 

[HinnyHoosier]

Wow. Rutgers deserved that game.

Another case of intentionally fouling up by 3 at the end of a game backfiring. I have no idea why teams who do this get so much praise. The last thing you want to do as a Big Ten team on the road is create extra possessions at the end of a game.

Karma after some fine Big 1.o officiating?

Holy crap. 
Hairless nuts with a wild 3 at the buzzer to win. 

He stepped OB prior to shooting. It was hard to tell but I don’t think he fully re-established in bounds before he caught the pass. Oh well.

This was my thoughts too. I think it would be hard for an official to make that call at that time. 

[HoosierAloha]

That early season emphasis on calling flops has gone away quickly. I’m sure the players have just adjusted.

Iowa State is 39th in Kenpom. It's amazing how they always seem to get so many top 25 votes in various sports. Must just be a name-recognition thing.

Minnesota is sooooo bad. Really wish we played them twice this year

down 30-11 at home in the first half to Michigan

They did until they fouled up three when still in one and one on other end. Just play defense and at worst you are in OT. You put huge pressure on your own FT shooters and bring losing into play. Just play good D as they did all night and at worst you are in OT with a chance to win. By fouling up three you lost in regulation and brought losing into play.

OSU deserves all the credit for that shot but Rutgers dug their own grave fouling up three with way to much time left and deserved what they got. For a defensive minded coach like Pikiell to not trust his d in last ten seconds was ridiculous and got what was coming to him.

I had no horse in that game but I CANNOT stand fouling up three and bringing losing in regulation into play.

100% agree and posted about it below your post. Its ridiculous.

They are so bad it’s almost better to not play them twice if that makes sense.    From a bracketology standpoint you gain nothing by playing them and if you lose to them that’s a bad loss.   Home game against them is a Q4 and a road game is Q3 for now and trending down to the Q4 area.

If you are a bubble team, yes. if you are competing for a big ten championship against Illinois and Purdue, among others who play them twice, I disagree.

I actually didn't know that.  I thought it you re-established back in bounds you were okay to catch a pass.  Have to say this is probably a violation that occurs quite a bit and never gets called, although not as blatantly as above.

[HinnyHoosier]

I didn’t know that either. I also thought you could re-establish and catch. If that’s the case, and I doubt Bilas to be wrong on it, that’s pretty blatant and should be addressed by the B1G.

BTW, just read the rule on going out of bounds and it is different in high school and NCAA.  In high school, if you step out of bounds 'voluntarily', it is a violation (which would result in a turnover).  A whistle is to blow the ball dead and the possession becomes the other team's ball.  Assume refs use discretion here because it would seem silly for a player on defense to be allowed to go out of bounds and force the offense to re-inbound the ball.  There is no rule at the high school level, however, against a player going out of bounds non-voluntarily and then reestablishing in bounds and being the next player to touch the ball.

At the college level, it is not a violation to go out of bounds but you can not be the next player to touch the ball.

[RaceToTheTop]

It gets even worse...I ran the video back.  Even if the rule WAS that you could re-establish and be the first to touch the ball, he DIDN'T.  Looks out of bounds to me and even if he wasn't, he didn't have both feet back in bounds when he caught it.

Edit:  zooming in, it is clear his right foot is clearly out bounds and looks like his left foot isn't in bounds either.
