2015 ncaa

i'm not going to claim the officiating was *good* (nor was it good in the wisconsin-kentucky game, at least the part i saw) but i don't think it was particularly slanted, either. duke's two best players* were in foul trouble the entire game, after all.

Duke also made shots and that had little to do with the refs. But those two missed calls def deflated what would have been a more interesting end.

xp that's true but they wouldn't whistle a 5th on either and thus I think they both got away with some things. though I do concede that Okafor's 3rd was real sketchy. for the record I kinda suspect that Duke is better with him off the floor anyway.

But those two missed calls def deflated what would have been a more interesting end.

that's basically it isn't it? seemed all game like it was gonna come down to the last shot.

well you knocked off Kentucky, and that was great.

i love him, but it seemed like cbs told raftery 'you have to do all catch-phrases all the time in the final four'

also he isn't a priest or marquis or former president or something, and he hasn't been a coach since 1981. 42yo men don't need to refer to him as 'coach' all the damn time

even nantz seemed a little overamped -- hope he can ratchet it down to a respectful whisper for the tradition unlike any other

my (g)listening wife was loling hard at raftery last night

not sure I heard "nyA leeetle Kyuussssss" last night though?

I don't think it's likely but patritos > duke > tiger winning the masters is the unholy trifecta that nantz has been dreaming abt his whole life prob

I was making dinner, so I missed about a third of the game, but I thought the officiating was very mediocre. The refs seemed like they got caught up in making a bad call on a close play, realizing it, then making another bad call the other way to make up for it, then feeling bad about that make-up call and shading the next call the other way, ad infinitum, so that close foul calls began to function like the possession arrow.

nor '2-3 zone . . . withman-to-manprinciples!'

nah, nantz is from charlotte, u know he's a carolina fan

I miss Gus

xps to crunch: lol, those three + a lakers NBA championship + a yankees world series would effectively guarantee evil's dominion over all bc all of the coaches/front offices involved have clearly sacrificed human lives on the altar of baal in the past & will again

(i don't follow the EPL but i'm guessing man united or arsenal would be the appropriate analogue for that league?)

Tiger winning the Masters would be amazing right about now

Amazing due to its enormous improbability. Whatever drove Tiger's run to greatness, it seems totally broken and scattered to the winds now. He's a lost soul.

I mostly agree with Joe Posnanski's theory on the matter, which is....he turned 35. not a lot of golfers having consistent success after that age. The fall from "he will definitely break Jack Nicklaus's record" to "he will probably never win another major again" is pretty crazy though

Someone on twitter said Grayson Allen kinda looks like Joffrey and that's something I can't shake
