NFT: Round of 32 - Day 2

dep026 : 3/24/2019 1:58 pm
Tennessee in the midst of an epic meltdown. Up 21 at half as much as 25 in the first half.

Iowa down 3 with 7 to go.

absolutely awful call. 5 point swing. Referee close to it correctly called it but was overruled by the official no where near it, mind numbing.

These refs better hope Tennessee wins.
Grant Williams gets away with bloody murder

It's ridiculous. I really hate Fran McCaffrey and Iowa but this officiating is pretty ludicrous.
The foul on the 3 point shot  
dep026 : 3/24/2019 2:21 pm : link
Was just an atrocity. Game changing call. Ref should be removed from tournament and not allowed to work it next year either.
Tie game

It was, but Tennessee got a slew of favorable calls both before and after.

No impact on play. Just terrible.

Tough loss for Iowa. Hell of a comeback. 15 minutes into the game it looked like they had absolutely no chance at all.

Go Heels!
Great  
AcidTest : 3/24/2019 2:58 pm : link
comeback by Iowa. Good game. Tennessee was just a little better.

Love him. Does not play like a freshman at all.

Really easy kid to like. Lost his dad to cancer, too. Very sad.
Ouch

This tournament is crazy chalk  
MetsAreBack : 3/24/2019 5:36 pm : link
Someone big is gonna lose today ... gotta be Duke right?

Very satisfying W for (our - wife went there) Heels. Auburn game Friday is going to be NBA score ... like 110-100. Can't wait (unless we lose)

The only team on Sat/Sun on TruTV is uva ... I got a chuckle. I'd lap up Greg's tears but I have two great friends who went to uva so I do hope they aren't the upset we've got to see today. This is the most chalk through 10 games I've ever seen.

arcarsenal : 3/24/2019 6:02 pm : link
Yup - super chalk so far.

UCF is giving Duke a game to this point. We'll see if it lasts.

This year is tough because I typically absolutely hate Duke - can't stand them. But, as a (likely delusional) Knicks fan... I still like to envision Zion or Barrett @ MSG later this year. So part of me kind of wants to pull for those guys.

But.. if they wind up making an early exit out of this thing, it won't bother me at all.
5 fouls rule is incomprehensible

Tacko not in at the moment because of foul trouble
Second

Three clear as day blocked called a foul. This needs to be looked at for next round.
Come on UCF.

I'll donate $ to you guys if you win.

Duke.
Zion with the cross court bounce-pass of the day.

Never watched a Duke game before, I see. They always get these calls.
Why a three point shot is granted 3 free throws  
MetsAreBack : 3/24/2019 6:30 pm : link
Is beyond me. Makes no analytical sense.

But the Tennessee 'foul' on a 3 not called by the ref two feet away but called by the one 60 feet away was one for the ages. At least Tennessee still won.

These AT&T commercials need to be shot. I didn't chuckle the first time
Oh and Lebron seems focused on Lakers/basketball  
MetsAreBack : 3/24/2019 6:33 pm : link
Out there. Lol.

I might watch though - idea may have merit
Foul on a 3pt shot gets 3 FTs

because had you made the shot, it would have been worth 3 pts

Well, no shit. But you can't assume he makes it- it's supposedly worth more because it's a harder shot even wide open. should we start incorporating percentage efficiency into free throws? So fouls in the paint at 60% get extra shots? Off-balance perimeter shot fouls get one shot ? Fast breaks (that aren't technicals) get 4 shots?

Zion has a nice little stroke. He'll hit those open 3's if you don't follow him out there.

Wow relax. You are way over-analyzing. Yes, a foul on a shot gives you equal opportunity at the FT line to get the points you would have if you make the shot

Fast breaks for 4? That does't even make sense. They don't and shouldn't factor in FG%. You're reply isn't at all being suggested or even the point to 3 FTs on a 3
Lol  
MetsAreBack : 3/24/2019 7:10 pm : link
Williamson literally mugged him but no call. Taco has been called 4x for half of that.
My bad  
MetsAreBack : 3/24/2019 7:12 pm : link
Apparently is was called a foul
Let's f*cking go UCF

Need to go with the call on the floor! Go UCF!

arcarsenal : 3/24/2019 7:25 pm : link
Man, that's about as close as humanly possible.

I don't think it actually touched the rim - but it's so fucking close that it's tough to change the original call.
.  
arcarsenal : 3/24/2019 7:25 pm : link
That's the right call. They have to leave it on the board.
I think that's right  
ChaChing : 3/24/2019 7:26 pm : link
I did think it hit but too close

HUGE missed dunk into a 3...great game!
too close to overturn i mean
