what a horrible loss for SMU

[krk1030]

I think so, what I posted is the NBA rule but I don't think goaltending rules differ HS, college or NBA.

I guess you could say it had an "opportunity" to hit the rim, but ive never seen the rule applied like that before.

Always though it had to be above the rim.

NCAA coordinator of officiating on CBS now.

hes blind too, that was not going to hit the rim...it was past the rim.

[Plaza23]

Wouldn't have mattered if SMU didn't turn the ball over before that.

Just a burial of a day for in play players. You might see 1 game blown like that all season, and this afternoon there were 2. SMU blowing a 7 point lead with 1:24 left and Baylor a 12 point with under 3 minutes left. That stuff never happens.

g. Touch any live ball from within the playing area that is on its downward flight with an opportunity to touch the basket ring. This is considered to be a "field goal attempt" or trying for a goal.

I think it would of been an airball but was close so not a horrific call.

was unaware this was the definition.... i thought the ball had to have a chance to go into the hoop, which this shot clearly did not.... by definition this was the right call bc that shot probably hits the rim... and it was unreviewable, which is also ridiculous

[TwoWays]

Krk, it was goaltend. Just move on or you're going to blow a gasket on the obvoius

Gif of the play.

Easily about half a ball height above the rim, so 6 inches or more. Blatantly obvious it wasn't below the rim as so many people are saying.

It's a close call, and a really tough call to make in real time. Anyone saying it's the worst call ever needs to go turn off any sport and pick up knitting.

The director of officiating is claiming nobody knows if it could have bounced in if it hit the rim....laughable

I mean if the rule is that it doesnt matter if it can go in fine...but there was no way it could have done in.

Above the rim would mean the entire ball is above the rim....obviously if any part of the ball is below the rim it does not have a chance to go in....

I took UCLA Live in Game at +850 with about 3 minutes left.

Lets just say that coupled with a UAB upset has made for an incredible, incredible day. I have play money for the 1st 2 rounds now

In basketball, goaltending is the violation of interfering with the ball when it is on its way to the basket and it is (a) in its downward flight (b) entirely above the rim and has the possibility of entering the basket, and (c) not touching the rim

if it's an inch below the rim it's under dude. Def wasn't entirely above, not even close. And who would think that shot was anything but air and really had a shot to even touch the rim forget going in.

[Ralphie Halves]

Sounds like some of you had SMU in the sweet 16 like I did.

Does anyone see a loss like this, then stop watching the tourney for awhile because you think your bracket sucks now, or is it just me?

This is why I didn't pick Kentucky to win it. I can get torn up in my bracket, and if they lose one game, I'm right back in it.

Sure you did

That picture shows it all. Easy goaltend. No one is even talking about it cause it's not contreversal

It is above the rim, just watch the mp4 file at the top of Page 2.

I tried to copy and paste a picture from it but my snipping tool and paint keep crashing when I go to save and I do not have any other software on this computer to save it.

The pic cassidysports posted shows it above the rim, and that's actually a little further into the video so it was touched even higher to start

[Thor4140]

Kidder that was an easy call. It's not even arguable. First call that ucla got that game

Actually it was a great call cause it was made in live action. These guys calling it awful all had money on smu and let their bet blinders do the talking. I had no dog in the hunt and easily see that is goal tending.

clearly had no chance to enter the basket, if it hit the rim it grazes the side.

don't know how anyone with a brain could dispute that.

[Thor4140]

if above the rim...which it wasnt.

dude go get ur wife and let her view it for goodness sakes

Fukin nostradamus over here. You really layed down money on UCLA when they had given up 17 unanswered?

[Thor4140]

is it possible he is getting an angle that we are not?

Reg back in the game? Your money and not a buddies? This smells like trouble

I thought I was the only one who caught on to his fantasy

[jtoler]

It wouldn't be changed in a million years so Smu ml backers move on brethren, on to the next one, don't let this game affect later games judgement.

[Ted Sheckler]

lol...reg is a "good" guy.

[Al Masters]

I agree SMU f'd themselves just as much as the refs at the end. Still a ridiculous call though.

Exactly.

[existential]

you really are a fukkin moron aren't you?

not a single part of the ball was "below the rim" when it was touched. every single replay and photo clearly shows it was well above the rim.

face it, you're a complete fukkin loser who not only bet on SMU in basketball (LFMAO!), but also gave 4 points to a blue blood UCLA program while at it.
seriously, how fukkin stupid do you feel right now?

[Regul8er]

Diod you see the $25 parlay I hit over the weekend for over 11k. That'll get ya back.

[gauchojake]

I just came here to see the people having a conniption over that call. The ball was on its way to hitting the rim and the kid interfered with it. End of story.

smu still had two clear looks at the basket to win and shit the bed. Not to mention that brutal turnover trying to clear half court.

Good or to see regul8er is back in the game. You're a sick man.

[TwoWays]

Reg I always root for you. But we've seen how the story pans out

[Regul8er]

HAHA.....just tossed a $50 on it. They were only down 6.......and the way games have been going today, you just never know.

Baylor put up a major run vs Georgia St and were up 10 with like 2 minutes left.....its March Madness

[Regul8er]

Reg I always root for you. But we've seen how the story pans out

Thanks bud.....I appreciate it. I left myself a bankroll, and the rest kills my debt. None of us really leave the game. We may for months or a year....but we always come back.

[gauchojake]

Does your wife know about this?

[TwoWays]

Reg I rather liked your previous approach to gambling...by setting up a Ponzi scheme to fund your addiction

[Ghenghis Kahn]

lol people are gonna claim the ball was way below the rim and the ball's trajectory was actually going up. smh...
