Jones travels.
He barrels into a stationary briscoe.
Davis pushes skal in the back on the jones shot.
Davis pushes skal in the back again on the rebound.
a&m Bench illegally runs on the court during game action.



Glad we're following the letter of the rules (rather than swallowing the whistle) late in the game like they would be before the final minute..............

[eyeroll]
 
I'm certainly not going to defend these officials, but in fairness, Davis didn't really push Skal. He put a hand in his back, which happens on EVERY single play, and Skal folded up like what you would expect from the softest player to ever put on a UK uniform.
 
It is really sad when a ref decides the game, which should have been a NO-Call, instead of the game being decided by the players on the floor. The black ref made some questionable calls all game, and this one was stupid.

OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
 
Look at the video before you start it! Clock is at 4.1! Which shows that they didn't start the clock even close to on time, this was after the ball was inbounded, dribbled and passed by Caruso to Jones. Add 2 offensive fouls on Skal while winning on a tip with .3 left.

Clock was 4.1 before they inbounded it, how is it still at 4.1 after Caruso caught it and passed it to Jones? Should of at least had .5-1 second run off after that, especially when the guy tips it in after 2 offensive fouls with .3 left.

We weren't getting out of there with a W, even if Isaac would have made both FT's and we went up 3 then something else would of happened, probably Cal gets tossed and we still lose.

If only we had those Mountain West officials from the Boise State game to use the stop watch
 
Murray got beat on the dribble which forced Skal to help which put him out of position for the rebound. Not really Skal's fault for his man getting that offensive rebound.
 
OP, none of those calls are automatic, according to our contrarian UK fans who always want to set us peons straight with their objective narratives. Only slamming the ball and calling a timeout when you don't have one are automatic calls. How do I know? Because those fans told me, and they always know what’s objectively true.

We are so lucky to have them around to educate the unwashed, ignorant masses
 
Looks like to me Skal fell over the driver. Should have never left Davis but Humphries should have been in the game any way but that's a different story I guess.
 
like i said..it has nothing to do with Strength.

He just gave up on it thinking it's the last play. He should of blocked off immediately when that shot went up...instead he went away from the player that he needed to block out or pinch underneath the board.

He also clearly extended his forearm pushing Skal out of the play which is a foul and if allowed will make any player all american and a rebounding phenom. It happens and on the road in the SEC it happens a lot. I felt as the previous posters but Skal was shoved he did not leave his man but was pushed out of the way. He is just not strong enough to fight through this at this point in his career. On hindsight Skal should have clobbered #34 as he was hitting 5-10 free throws. The ref would have probably swallowed his whistle.
