Hoyas survive

I'm glad the Hoyas won but that was an easy travel call if the stripes felt the urge to blow the whistle.

Definitely a travel, no argument about it, although you could come back to the horrible over the back call on the last possession.

Good no call.

If 3 guys from Vandy couldn't keep him from scoring, then they didn't deserve a traveling call.

I won my spread wager, but lost my ML wager on that crap.

He got away with that travel looker!

I know it was a travel. Just saying, if three Vandy players couldn't deny him, then they don't deserve the travel call.

I can't believe he hit that shot, nor that any referee did not call a travel. There have been some extremely questionable calls and no calls in this tournament.

I knew what you meant looker. I'm just a little upset that I lost my ML bet on that game is all

Did you guys hear during the UNC/SC game Billy Packer say he didn't think Green traveled? I couldn't possibly hate Packer anymore.

Its a joke CBS really needs to get Packer and Brown off of these big games and put Gus Johnson on

I didn't mind it so bad as a non-call, but I only had Vandy plus the points. What is astonishing though is to hear Packer claim that he watched the reply and there is no way he traveled. Must have had GT on the ML...

billy pecker is a f*cking cunt

i was hoping tim floyd would deck him when he was going on and on about that technical as if the game wasn't already over at that point

and then he practically gives roy williams a BJ after the game

wow what a prick

Here I was calling Billy Packer a jackass as he tried to explain yesterday that it wasn't a travel but it sure looks like the rules back up his opinion.

The rules state you can pick up your pivot foot after its been established as long as you don't put it back down which means that when Green took a step with his non-pivot foot (lifting the pivot foot) then jumped off of it for the shot (the pivot foot never hit the floor again) it was a legal play by Green.

I learn something new everyday and will have to try this out the next time I'm on the court. My guess is the ref blows the whistle but at least I'll be able to refer him to the following
