Not A Goaltend? Is This Real Life???

[kNicKz]

I've accepted that the referees simply will not let uconn win by any means. I am done watching this shit

[InspiredLebowski]

Illinois is overrated as shit. That's not a top 25 team. Shut down Paul and they're done. Can't defend, can't board, can't score inside 20 feet.

[IGotACoolStory]

Anyone see the end to the Colorado-Arizona game just now?

Bananas.

Nevermind, they waived it off. Complete bullshit call from the refs. Unbelievable fix.

And now they are getting screwed over in OT. This is insane.

Colorado was robbed. I want Zona to win but that shot was clearly out of his hands with 0.1 seconds left.

[IGotACoolStory]

Colorado ****ed themselves on the line, but they still won the game in regulation.

Jobbed all the way around. Watch them miss the NCAA Tournament where this win would have put them in.

Colarado should have won but the heart of Arizona so far this season is admirable. Just to come back and tie that game was phenomenal.

FUKU U, U FUKIN BITCH.

Nah, but that's just not true. At least I know we won't spiral out like we did the last few years. I have faith in these guys. Let's talk after the season.

Had to throw in an emote for that one.

Edit: BTW, I don't think we're top 10 but we're definitely top 25.

yup. it's a shame. great fight by Arizona but Colorado should have won.

Talent-wise, I agree 100 percent. Once conference play starts they will be exposed. Can't wait until my spartans play them, they just don't have the depth in the frontcourt to be taken seriously as a top 25 team. Groce has done a good job of getting them to play hard so far this season, but there is only so much a coach can do.

Colorado's coach is so distraught over his teams loss that he...wants to end instant replay

It's fair to say Colorado coach Tad Boyle was frustrated by the officials' decision to use an inconclusive replay of a potential game-winning 3-pointer to reverse an on-court call at the end of Thursday's game against Arizona.

How frustrated?

Enough that he wants college basketball to take a dramatic step: Don't go to the monitor to decide a game on such a close call.

"Get rid of instant replay," Boyle told ESPN.com by phone from Tucson. "In basketball, football, human error is part of our game. If human error is part of the game, let the officials call the game. Players, coaches and officials will make mistakes. It's part of the game.

"We spend all this money on replays and we still can't get it right. Get rid of it."

[IGotACoolStory]

That would be moronic.

A simple way of putting it: Does instant replay do more good than bad?

I fail to see how it does more bad, even after such an erroneous error like last night. In fact, instant replay needs to be uses fully in all sports. I'm talking to you, MLB.


What they need to do is not show the arena the replay of the call before the call is officially made.

he's butthurt that's all.

you had a chance to win in overtime. i guess the replay lost the OT for you as well?

i know that was a questionable call, but there are many things that were within their control. They gave up a double-digit lead in the last 3 minutes, and then when OT started they got blown away and didn't even put up a fight.

they may have gotten it wrong, but instant replay has gotten it right 99% of the time, there is no need to be such a sore loser

[Kiddlovesnets]

Duke still as dominant as ever, Arizona always manages to win the game somehow, UK looks like an NIT team to me.

[Jailblazers7]

Pitt sucks.

[wang4three]

Up 12 against tOSU at home...

I really like Aaron Craft. Guy is solid as hell. He reminds me of Kirk Hinrich. Great defense, solid playmaking and offensive skills. He could play in the league in my opinion.
