Miss St ot win at buzzer over uconn
Miss. St beats uconn women
- Thread starter ErickTheRed
- Start date
A flawed rule was exposed at the end of the game.
Why could they not put time back on the clock, after going to the monitor, and changing a no call to a flagrant?
In between the foul, and actually going to the monitor, Mississippi St. had a whole offensive possession, and UCONN brought it up, and called time. Something like 30 seconds went by. So, because of a flagrant that occurred with about 50 seconds left, UCONN could have held the ball for the win. It's only because they screwed up, that Miss St, got another chance.
I'm a huge replay advocate, and I do think the flagrant was properly enforced, but I think the clock should have reset to when the foul occurred. Basically, 30 seconds of overtime (about that much - I forget how much time actually went off the clock) was played under false pretenses.
What if Miss st had scored during that 30 seconds?
Good question.
Under my scenario, you'd have to take the points off the board. Since we're retroactively calling a foul, if the clock is reset, anything that happened after the original point of the foul should be null and void.
I don't know what they would have done tonight, when all the time was allowed to elapse.
That's what happens when you over use the replay rule. How would civilization continue if they missed that call. Uconn beat Miss St by 60 in last year's tourney so karma came back to bite Geno and Uconn in the arse. Miss St vs S Carolina in an all SEC conference final.
I'm
NY born & bred but lived in Avon CT for 9 years - in the mid 1990s, saw Felipe & Zendon beat the huskies in Storrs - grew to dislike the obnoxious ( some not all) fans so like to see UConn teams lose
However
1.As w the dreaded Patriots I give them full credit for all their astute personnel moves & successes; UConn men's & womens BBall teams have been amazing - they built a solid programs starting with their meager/lowly Yankee Conference days;
2.I have to be impressed by your ( you as a UConn fan) fairness about the results of the Miss State game - acknowledging Miss State was the better team!
3. Didn't see the game, but come on UConn women - you won enough, appreciate your tremendous achievement! To whine would be like me a Yankee fan disparaged in 2001 when the Yanks "only" won three World Series in a row 1998, 1999, 2000.
Thanks again Logan - your women's team accomplished the unthinkable! They deserve significant credit and admiration!!!
Go St. John's...

Glad to see David slay Goliath
It's good for the game to see Yukon get upset on a national stage
Geno has been an arrogant SOB for so many years
Although, to his credit, he maintained his composure in post game interviews
Now we have an ALL SEC final (Miss State - South Carolina)
Anyone who bet a significant amount of $ in Vegas on that is pretty wealthy today

Not a big UCONN fan at all, but have always been impressed with the program Geno put together up there. But it is good for women's basketball for someone other than UCONN to win for a change.
Only caught the last 6 minutes of regulation and the overtime but that was the most exciting part. flagrant call came at a great time for UConn and it looked bad for Miss St.. Coach went ballistic but people on bench came to his rescue .Wonder if the refs would have called another tech if he was not held back ? Thought the UConn player acted a lot about getting hit. Was she really Hit ? Itsy Bitsy brought the ball up court every time except the last play . When I realized that she wasn't bringing the ball up I yelled out "whats going on here " but she eventually got the ball and made a great play to end it . Looking forward to final .
