Balbay 6, OU 4

[FWHORN]

We are getting Duke-UNC on both ESPN and ESPN2 problem is down here our ESPN2 is an international feed so they assume you dont get regular ESPN but those of us with cable package do so we get shafted.

ESPN3 is blocked down here for rights restrictions so that isnt an option either.

Oh and no ESPNU down here or fox sports for that matter unless I go to sports bar.

Always happy with a win, but another pretty lethargic 2nd half effort by the Horns tonight.

Horns do seem to have a cruise control against lesser teams once they get a double digit lead. Will be interesting to see how they come out against Baylor who embarassed us last year with slam dunk contests the last two games against them.

Somebody do a "separated at birth" for Tyler Neal and Napoleon Dynamite.

CU over ags by 1, 44 sec to go

Puke up on NC by 6 now.

 

[GemStateJim]

Corey Joseph cans a couple of free throws to reach double figures. Every starter has now reached double digits ... is that the first time this season?

 

[FWHORN]

Interesting that zero points off bench tonight.

All in all seems to be a workmanlike win on the road.

 

[FWHORN]

aggy hits 30 foot three pointer to tie with 2 seconds left to send game to OT.

uisage, he is in the Cayman Islands.

Anybody see the highlights of that Villanova-Rutgers game? If I were Jay Wright, I wouldn't be very happy with the ref who awarded a 4-point play for what looked like incidental contact (a slight graze to the arm before the shot but during the act of shooting) with less than a second remaining.

 

[Third Coast]

Yeah, I couldn't believe the ref would call a foul in that situation.

 

[GemStateJim]

aggy gets a HUGE overtime win in Boulder tonight.

Meanwhile, UNC blows a 14-point halftime lead to the Blue Devils. Wish they hadn't played that game concurrently with the Texas-OU matchup.

 

[Statalyzer]

I'd probably be pissed about that call too, but OTOH it usually doesn't take much contact to throw a shooter off if that contact is on the arm during a shot.

 

[Alex_de_Large]

If I were Jay Wright I would be more pissed at the guy who got anywhere near someone putting up a last second 3. If it goes in, it goes in, but you cannot foul the shooter.

 

[GemStateJim]

Good points, but that call would be unusual at any time during a game because there was nearly no contact. To call it then when you haven't called it all game ... I dunno ... seems kind of incompetent, to me.
