    my wife and i were cracking up last night. either he couldn't get his jacket off or gave up midway through the attempt. either way, the call was not terrible. his feet probably were not set but that isn't what lost the game for cuse. boehiem's dumb antics did.....hell of a game though.

    i love the expression on the assistant coaches face to the right....haha..."ahhhhhh, what are you doing?"

    under the current interpretation of the block/charge call where you have to be set at the time the hands of the offensive player starts his upward motion it was an absolutely terrible call. Fair's hand start their upward motion a good 3 feet or so from where the Duke player was. just awful but so typical of Duke getting the calls in Cameron.

    Boeheim did end the game but let's be honest the chances of Cuse coming back at that point were still pretty low. Duke wasn't getting a 5 second call and unless Duke made a terrible pass no way the refs are letting Cuse get a steal on the inbounds. Sometimes you have to take a stand and show the refs up for such a terrible call. I loved Boeheim's reaction because it helps highlight how terrible it was.
    eh, i don't know:

    but either way, it was still a one possession game with 11 seconds to play. syracuse has won how many games in the final seconds this year? that game was far from over at that point....and then boeheim stupidly, and hilariously, ended it.

    Pretty bad call. Not only was he late getting to the spot, but he leaned a little after the 'cuse player jumped. Could've been and and 1. A likely win or OT is a pretty good position for the way the game was goin.

    Having said that, that loss is on Boeheim. Duke was sucking at the line, so it probably would've came down to the last possession again.

    congrats to Wichita State for going 34-0 in the regular season. Let's see how they do in the tourny though.

    Well, they did get to the elite 8 last year and had a late lead on Louisville. They were one or 2 possessions away from the Final 4. It's tough for the power conference teams to even get that far. I don't think you can say they were a disappointment if they don't duplicate last year.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    actually they made the Final 4 last year and had Ville down in the semi-final until the walk-on hit 2 3s for ville. Wichita is very good. wouldn't shock me to see them back in the Final 4. think they have a shot at winning it all. only team definitely better than them I think is Florida.

    Wow, my memory isn't what it used to be. I thought that was a regional final game.

    We should start a 10club bracket for this year's tournament. Anyone down?
    I've been fortunate enough to see Pearl Jam live.

    I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan

    I'd be shocked if Wichita isn't in the Final 4 this year...Florida as well

    Complete garbage officiating at the of the Duke Clemson game. How the hell does Duke get that call, but the Clemson guys
    wrist gets hammered and no call. If Duke gets a 1 seed it's a fn joke.
