N.O.B.

There was a point in the game where Grant Williams threw on a switch and started his gamesmanship. He was posting against Travis, jerked his head and arm and drew Reid’s third foul. From there, that mfn bitch started into flopping and crying and getting calls... changing the tempo of the game. He was getting dominated up until that point. Was almost instantly after PJ three down that dunk on his ugly face.

**** that guy.

Doug Shows is a Khunt.

The refs may not have "cost" us the game. We nearly won in spite of them. But that video montage of Reid's 5 fouls is hilariously atrocious. P.j.'s flagrant 1 phantom that cost him 14 minutes in the first half. The charge on keldon when he drove and kicked it out to p.j. who made the 3 that would have out us up 10. That flop was wwe worthy. The call on the sidelines that they called keldon out of bounds when he had 2 ft in bounds and the Tenn player was laying out stretched with 2 ft out of bounds and a hand on the ball in front of 2 refs. I mean. Holy freaking shit. And we still should have won. I hope this pisses them off.

While this ^^^^^^^ is undoubtedly true....the refs didn't cost us that game. Not by a long shot.
I respectfully disagree. Reid was playing on eggshells after his 3rd and got his last 2 fouls on incorrect calls.

After he got DQd our defense and rebounding matchups were focked.

The KJ “charge” alone was a 6-point swing.
 
Was surprised to see the ESPN douche squad all picking the Cats to make the Final Four. And Jay Williams even picked the Cats to beat Duke in the final game. WTF?

Feel like this is pretty much the kiss of death.

Also...I used to like Jay Bilas. Now I basically just want to punch him in his mouth every time I hear his voice. Other than that I guess he's still an OK guy.

All good points, brother.

But we will have to agree to disagree on the point of decisive factors and how they rank in affecting the outcome of that particular game.
 
Reid is the straw that stirs the drink. When he's out we're just lacking 'it'. He was out due to mostly crappy officiating, including two phantom calls. PJ can be that guy, but teams are focusing on him so much, that it'll be hard in the later rounds.

What I don't get about 'hook and hold' is that the held player has put his arm in a place where contact will be made in almost any situation. The only way to avoid it is to drop the arm completely and give up for a few seconds. If your arm is in the way and I jump up for a rebound, you cause it to bend like that and the entanglement is forced. There aren't many options. What is stopping a player from causing that foul as they do with flopping on a charge? Put my arm in your way, don't go for the rebound at all, get 'held', profit. Some big poussé is going to figure that out and make that his go-to play.

Let's get to Thursday. I got us vs. UNC to go to the Final 4. I won't pretend to know what happens during and after that game. Duke will be there. Michigan and UT also there. I don't know if we have 4 wins in a row in us. Hope so.

Was going to put Murray in the sweet 16, but everyone else will too, so I'm not going to now.
 
Welp, pretty much alienated my entire immediate household, including my dogs, with post-game redass in the moments following the loss to UT Saturday. They are finally coming back around though. I mean, they're somewhat used to it, but they never really get used to it.

Good news is I haven't broken anything since we lost to Florida in football a couple years ago.

I like our draw. Let's do this Cats.
 
Will it travel through Paduchaville?
Yepper, but we are on the very southern edge of the totality zone, which means it will only last 2 minutes. Ergo, I'm gonna scout out locations in southeast Missouri and that armpit of humanity known as southern Illinois to find a location right on the center line so that I can experience over 4 minutes of totality.

Mav, let's invest some money in this upcoming event. Rent some land and sell tickets.

We have the technology.
