Ive watched that slow motion video 3 times now and don’t see the forearm getting hit. Unless you lost a grand on that game, that’s being a bitch complaining about that.
Suggs' block on Riley's shot

At first, I was impressed with Suggs - and sort of disappointed in Riley (how is a big going to let a point guard block his dunk?). Then I saw the replay. That’s pretty obviously a foul. Watch the left elbow of Suggs and the right elbow of Riley. Don’t focus on the hand/upper forearm. You get hit in the elbow, you’re not going to maintain control of the ball.
Especially when they all cheered after we clearly got screwed on some crucial late calls that made the difference
Didn't bet on the game. Was pulling for UCLA for full disclosure. But, nonetheless, it's in the first second of that clip. Clear as day. And I'll concede that Suggs DOES hit the ball at the same time as he hits the forearm. If you're watching the ball and rim, you may miss what happens below but if you look down towards Riley's elbow, it's pretty clear there is contact with the forearm/elbow.

Bingo. And I will say I am by no means saying that cost UCLA the game. Would have been 2 shots for Riley but he was not a great FT shooter. So, who knows if things go differently. But, certainly believe that should have been called a foul.
Jealous of their whopping zero titles and two final fours. Kentucky fans aren’t jealous of Gonzaga. Critiquing their accomplishments and jealousy are two entirely different things.
The thing I didn’t like about that call is that it wasn’t clear that the movement of the shorts was clearly caused by the ball. Leg movements also cause the shorts to move. Wasn’t enough to overturn imo
you ignored the part where you didn’t see that real time only in a slo-mo replay
you, nor me, nor anyone else including the refs saw exactly what happened real time, hence no call
bet you were rooting for UCLA

No, I thought it was a foul when I saw it live (confirmed when I saw the replay).
And, yes, as I said above, I was rooting for UCLA. And, I'll also be the first to say that the charge on Juzang at the end was the correct call (unlike this missed call on the "block").
It was a clear foul. That is called a foul 99% of the time, especially in that game situation.
I don't hate Gonzaga and I certainly aren't jealous of their program but I thought it was a foul.
