Travesty of Officiating

Anyone else watch the Villanova/Georgetown and Women's Rutgers/ Tennessee games? Fouls with .1 and .2 seconds called. Total BS

This was the worst I have seen especially because the clock operator paused the clock in the women's game.

Didn't watch the other game, but the call at the end of the Rutgers/Tennessee game was horrible. Just horrible. And, if they were going to call the foul on Rutgers with .02 seconds left, why didn't they call the foul on the inbounds play on Tennessee? Again, horrible.
 
Nova was 75 feet from the basket on a play with little physical contact. It was just awful. On the other hand, I'm sick of 55-53 Georgetown games running into the Texas game.
 
That Rutgers call was one of the worst I've seen in a while. Do they not have monitors to review this? Absolute terrible way to lose a game.
 
The officials should have seen the clock stop. I hope Rutgers does something to protest. It won't change the outcome, but it will draw more criticism of this officiaitng crew.

I love how the Georgetown/ Villanova announcers kept saying what an awful call that was. It was nice to hear them criticize the officials.
 
I'm a Georgetown alumn, but I'll concede that the ref never should have blown the whistle on that one. Honestly, the officiating was very spotting throughout that game, so I'm not at all surprised it ended the way it did. There were tons of missed travels and kicked balls, and a lot of phantom calls.
 
I can't wait 'til halftime to see what y'all are talking about.
My hatred of the Lady Vols is second to none. I have had - literally - about 600 different arguments since I moved up here about how the Lady Vols could beat most men's teams.

I thought College was like NBA in that refs can review the clock at the end of the game. If so, they'd see the game's over. Very bad clock operator at home and G'town call was also at home. Now, since we're home team tonight if something like that happens...

Wow. That was really, really bad. How in the hell can a ******* clock stop just long enough for TN to get a BS foul call? Jesus. At home, none-the-less.
These two examples are why I find it hard to watch college and professional basketball. I hate to see games that are so influenced by the officials.
 
I feel sorry for you Knoxville-Horn, cause you're going to have to hear about the "awesome win" tomorrow. You know those officials just didn't change the call b/c they were scared of the home crowd's wrath.
 
The thing that gets me is they let the scrum go on during the GU/Nova game and then call a non-existent foul a second later. Crazy.
 
Well, according to the Vol site I was just on, one person called it a terrible call, the other 15 or so say that the call was correct.
wtf.gif
So, yes, I am going to have to hear about how the call was correct and how great the win was.

It was a travesty of officiating to go with a travesty of a basketball game. Just agonizing to watch.

Villanova finished with like 4 (?) field goals in the entire second half. . .and almost won anyway because Georgetown was just about that bad.

It wasn't great defense either. Both teams were air-balling open looks and chucking it out of bounds with no defensive pressure at all.
 
And our officials tried to hand the game to the in the end too.

I guess the ball is always out of bounds on us. Good guys win anyway.
 
I'm sitting in a hotel room in Frederick, MD watching the D.C. news. Even the sporscaster, a very hot lady sportscaster I might add, thought Nova got robbed. It did not even look like there was any contact. I hate college officiating in all sports, but especially basketball.
 
haha, sportscenter just showed that 1.3 seconds went off the clock in 0.2 seconds.

what a crock of **** for rutgers. wow.
 
If I had a vote in the Women's Poll I would vote Rutgers #1 based on wins over UConn and UTenn.

Hook'em!!!

After watching the replays several times, the only thing I can think of is that the ref in the Georgetown game thought that the contact (and there was some contact) caused Wallace to step out of bounds. It was tough to see in the replays, but his foot might have caught the line. And if that was the case, then maybe the ref thought he either had to call the foul or the out-of-bounds step -- in which case, the foul was the right call.
 
The timing really has 0 to do with it in the Nova/GTown game - that was a clearly bad call at ANY point in the game, whether 0:01 or 19:59. Rutgers-Tenn was even worse because at least that men's foul just prevented OT, and didn't 100% surely change the winner of the game the way the clock did in the women's game.
 
You could ask why the heck the Nova player was making contact with .1 second left to begin with. I would never have made that call, but geez get out of the way.
 
He wasn't making contact, he was playing good defense and sliding to beat the guy to sidelines, and when he didn't quite make it het let the guy go, and the offensive player barely brushed into him as he got past. Perfect no-call. Defenders shouldn't be called for blocks for moving laterally just b/c the offensive player changes his angle to turn the corner, but refs call it all the time unfortunately.

Oh, and don't be bragging on NBA refs just because they wouldn't have called that. Watching Spurs-Raptors before the UT game, and it was ridiculous how Duncan was obviously favored by the refs over Rasho, and how Bosh was obviously favored by the refs over Oberto.
