Can a 16 ever beat a 1 seed?

Not if the refs have anything to do with it. UNC Ashville got screwed.

No way to explain that other than the fear of losing the New York tv market. That was just horrible!

A non-call on an obvious Syracuse goal tend and a called lane violation against Ashville on the missed front end of a Syracuse one and one when the guy clearly wasn't in the lane before the ball left the FT shooter's hands. Both occured late in the game and I believe in both instances it was tied, or a 2 point lead.

I missed the goaltending, otherwise, I saw the other two. The lane violation subtracts two points from the cuse, and the obvious missed out of bounds call means Asheville would have been shooting for the LEAD with less than a minute to play.

Can't wait to see what kind of officiating we get.

At this point I don't think it's the officiating.

Since it happened I've heard and read at least a dozen anaylsts say the lane violation call in the Syracuse game was legit.

The refs in the Iowa State Kentucky were horrible. After the IS coach got tee up, the refs made about ten make up calls against Kentucky.

The effect was just keeping the final score respectable, still...horrible calls against Kentucky.
