(BET) Creighton, Sat., Mar. 15, 6:30p, FOX

One days 20 years from now when I'm 75 some young guy like DK is going to check this thread for receipts and he's gonea say damn that Maher guy was right the entire thread and never backed down and even added to his win prediction. Then he's gonna say wtf were a couple of these other guys watching it cant be the same game they are saying the exact opposite :)
 
Either too tired or too emotionally drained to read through and comment on most of the posts on tonight's incredible win. That said, if it hasn't been noted already, well-deserved kudos to Ayo for his contributions thoughout the tournment. Did everthing that was asked of him and more.

Ayo played an almost perfect tournament. He came in tonight after we got punched in the mouth and instantly changed the energy. He hit two treys to keep us in the game.

I trust him completely. His assist yesterday in transition…who does that with his limited minutes? When there’s a shot clock violation for the opponent, you almost know he’s in the floor.

He’s shooting 43% from 3 for the year.

And he's very vocal from the bench with the guys on the floor.

Future assistant for Rick at SJU?
 
More old school stuff from my big mouth but I am really surprised at the preponderance of comments about the T called. The team did exactly what you do when a bit of adversity comes your way, as my maternal “Nanny” told me from the time I could hear, “hitch up your big boy pants, move on NOW and go take care of your business”.
Good thing the team, and especially Luis, didn’t decide they needed an apology or the call reversed before he and they took off from there and did exactly that. Some fans could take a lesson from them but certainly to each their own.
Refs are human, they make mistakes, and I for one would rather forget the apologies and rather reverse the stupid use of technology that is taking the human aspect out of sports under the guise of “getting it right”, which it most definitely does not do.
And all I can say is if there were machines calling the tennis lines years ago, we would have had no “Johnny Mac” and the world would have been a much duller, homogenized place for it.

Completely disagree. It's one thing to make a mistake on a common foul, but it's a whole other thing to call an unwarranted technical. The officials are "big boys" themselves and should have the brain capacity to exercise judgment and discretion, especially in a championship game. I'm glad the call didn't have an impact on the game, but it should have never been made.

We disagree but obviously the ref thought it warranted and it his call, period. I thought it was a bad call, no question and said so in a post here, but where we really disagree is on the fan reaction.
Quick question, have you ever refereed? I know basketball through and through and found myself absolutely flummoxed trying to do it at the Boys Club level, never mind with the atmosphere and stakes involved last night. So maybe the guy is a lousy ref, I don’t know and I don’t care but he made a lousy call, it happens. Like players have brain farts and make lousy plays, like Wilcher fouling a guy taking a rushed, off balance 3 or Luis diving into 3 defenders on a drive to the basket.
Or coaches, as great a coach as Pitino is, failing to assign anyone to stop the ball in the final seconds against Baylor. Posters on here comment on Maryland losing yesterday on a similar brain fart but it happened to us. But posters here comment frequently about the clock against Baylor but the truth of the matter is, Pitino and staff f’d up because my point is you take care of YOUR business and he didn’t that game, so mistakes are made even by the very best.
Finally, IMO, the call did have an impact on the game, a very positive one for the Johnnies because the players moved on and decisively took care of THEIR business.
And finally, finally, nothing at all the matter with disagreeing, makes the world go round.
