The Gators are just burning clock & keeping the lead at 10+
The Bucks could've won if they had their normal outside shooting which is disappointing. Oden and Conley are beasts lol. Congrats to Florida.
Florida was covering very tight... most of the 3-point attempts came with somebody right in their face, thus the poor percentages. The Gators couldn't stop Oden, (plus they were getting called on fouls & Oden wasn't!) so they single teamed him and focused on stopping everybody else. Later on, by the time a few of Ohio's shots started dropping, Oden was worn out.
Masterful coaching, if I say so myself.
I've lost all faith in watching Basketball, pro or college. until the refs actual prove they can ref, its not a sport.
I love playing it both the basketball refs are the dumbest refs out there, it's even worse for Professionals.
let the guys play on both teams and if a foul is obvious, then you call it, not someone just touching your waist going up for a layup
Yeah. They should always err on the side of NOT calling a foul/penalty. I hate seeing succesful plays called back/disallowed by a minor penalty - much more then care if a foul should have been called and isn't.Quote:

the one thing they never call is palming, but just about every player now does it, so the refs blew this.
the refs always assume there will be contact once the ball goes low and blow the whistle immediately before/after a shot.
and the refs I guess are never wrong. you see in other sports, the officials will make a mistake and correct themselves, but not NCAA/NBA basketball officials. just like how they didn't have any clue how much time was left during the Clemson/Duke game at the end. which ended up costing Clemson a possible OT win
You are a good sport smiley. Florida looked pretty awesome. Oden is kind of unstoppable in College ball. I wonder though about the pro's.Quote:

At one point, a Seminole slipped & a punt bounced right off of him into the endzone and was recovered for a Gator TD. The refs decided that because the kick reciever was slipping, he had a knee down when the kick touched him, and awarded the Seminoles the ball at the spot of the fumble.
In the same game, a FSU RB clearly fumbled, the ball was out bouncing on the ground, there was a pileup, and as the whistle was blown, a Gator player jumped out of edge of the pile with the ball in his hands. Yeah, the fumble was awarded to FSU.
Florida is going down next year,and my boys will be back next year.And have one of the better recruiting classes also.
Congrats to the Lady Vols for winning the womens title last night.
Now that, my friends, is a dynasty. Seventh nat. championship for coach Pat Summit.Quote:

LOL, I am a good sport because I am happy we weren't embarassed like we were in football!Quote:

haha good one. Sometime you wonder how they can justify some calls... with instant replay now though, I think it will work better. Before, I do understand how sometimes the wrong call got made (refs are human), the problem was they were too proud or something to pick the flag back up or reverse their call if it was obviously wrong after a little discussion.Quote:

If he was allowed to just keep playing if he wanted to, or keep the dunk instead of losing those points and going to the line intead, it would speed things back up and get rid of that whole despicable strategy.
Of course, it was kinda funny watching coaches pull that strategy against the Gators late in games. They would start the intentional fouling to try to make Florida miss free throws, and they could respond with potential treys with plenty of time. Instead Florida made about 90% of their free throws, and then would go down the field and make defensive stops, and their lead would grow.
yes they do have replay but even still the refs know how to screw up a call.
I think the refs are starting to not call more things on the field because they know the Replay system will clarify the play.
but heres another thing that gripes me is when the refs check for a play clock or game time adjustment, they spend 10 minutes looking at the screen when everyone at home knows what time it should be.
I like the FX programs :DQuote:

Jslone, (sorry they gonna put the Maryland D to shame)
I'm just glad that "THE" Ohio State won the national championship in B-ball. I didn't want to see Florida repeat...oh wait, the Gators did repeat, didn't they? :D
BTW...Bucky Badger will be the National Champs in football next season. And ya'll can say you heard it here first!
Congratulations to Michigan State for winning the most important college national championship there is!
Wow! What an awesome game. Good defense, great hitting and a come from behind victory from MSU. Great sportsmanship from BC. Wow again! I can't remember when the last time I saw a college game as awesome as this game...except for maybe when the Badgers beat BC for the national championship last year!
Hansbrough and Lawson have announced that they will return to UNC for next year. UNC should be pretty tough. Now, if only Brandon Wright will stay put.
Oden or Durant. Who will be the number one pick in tonight's draft.
Oden...Portland isn't going to make the same mistake they made when they passed on MJ.
oh god, the Bulls picked Noah :(
sort of surprised to see Mr. 3 pointer at Florida not get drafted
Atlanta is interviewing for a quarterback.
Need I say more. http://www.racing-forums.com/vb/imag...lies/smile.gif
I know, I know, a person is innocent until proven quilty. However, if quilty they should hang him up by his crotch and lower him to the dogs.
look, Marcus and Michael will be jail buddies :p :
what a waste of talent
Yup, very sad. The rest of you guys in the south should be lovin it though. The saints should roll through this division
Too bad the dog wasn't taking a chunk out of Vick's behind.
Enough of that crap,for those of you interested in Baseball,Mark Texieria(a local guy),well be traded to the Braves tomorrow,and KG well be traded to the Celtics for 5 players and 2 picks.
I know sports ain't allowed in this off-topic thread, but can't find the sports thread,
but #5 Michigun is losing to Div 1-AA Appalachian State 31-20 :laugh: with the end of the 3rd quater in sight.
its official #5 Michigun lost to a Div 1-AA school 34-32.
biggest upset ever in College Football :rotflmao:
Not really. Only for those unfamiliar with Appalachian State. Upset yes, maybe. Appalachian is 2 time defending I-AA national champion and they are ranked as I-AA's preseason No. 1 team. Michigan was foolish to schedule them early on in the season, even if it was a home game for Michigan.Quote:

sorry slone, Clemson put a rocking on your boys, but an excellent day in College Football. USC and Florida both lose again :D
Those 2 games were sweet werent they Harv.I got a friend who graduated at Florida and went to the first basketball title game,I dont think I will see him this week,maybe the dad,but he is a Irish grad.Doh.
heh, I got tickets for the UNC basketball game against Nevada on Dec. 27. You have any idea how hard it is to get tickets to a UNC game. :) And I only paid $40 for each ticket. Normally they go for $400 each or against Duke like $1000 each.
hope you have a great time at the game, where will you be sitting
How much do they go for when the Terps come to town?
Prices will vary depending on the seats and when you buy them:
Maryland at UNC tickets - $200 to $1000
Duke at UNC tickets - $600 to $2900
