Will Tyler Olander be hired to the coaching staff?Olander has more national championship rings than Jim Boeheim, Tom Izzo, John Calipari, Bill Self, Phog Allen, Lute Olson, Jerry Tarkanian, John Thompson, Al McGuire, and Eddie Sutton. If UConn lets him walk away from the program, it will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in the history of college basketball. (He is currently playing in Lithuania.) Mark my words.

Kentucky just took out their frustrations of those last two tough road games on Missouri. They have just physically defensively dominated some clubs this year. They kind of remind me of the 90-91 UNLV club, they just seem huge and awesomely athletic.
I think UK could be beat, but you are going to have to have a good night shooting and stay even with them on the boards and turnovers. That is not an easy task if the Wildcats are imposing their will on defense.

― #wegonnabechampionship (Spottie), Tuesday, 7 April 2015 04:24 (nine years ago) link
I hate to be the one griping about refs because his team lost but the officiating seemed particularly bad these last two games. Not just the usual where they're calling ticky tacky fouls on one end and "letting them play" on the other, but egregious missed calls, even after lengthy reviews. In the last game vs. UK this shit at least went both ways, but in the last five minutes of this one Winslow was basically untouchable, clearly steps out of bounds w/ the ball at one point and of course had the ball go off his fingertips in a really critical spot but somehow retained possession. Like Wisconsin didn't seem to be playing any different than they usually do but somehow Duke winds up in the double bonus with 9 minutes to play, as soon as Wisco got up by nine it seemed like they were whistling on every single Duke possession. Oh well. Great run Badgers anyway, its kinda been a historic year for college basketball and its been awesome watching what might have been the greatest Wisconsin team ever.
― Abstinence Hawk (frogbs), Tuesday, 7 April 2015 10:54 (nine years ago) link
like how many times could Duke get the foul call by just putting their head down and driving into guys. ok I'm done.
― Abstinence Hawk (frogbs), Tuesday, 7 April 2015 10:58 (nine years ago) link
the fingertips one is rough, but that is about the system in place -- the only way to tell definitively was that one camera angle in slomo & that is not what the refs were seeing. from every other angle it was p impossible to tell
duke got very aggressive when they went down 9, I did not think the foul calls were bad really either way
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 7 April 2015 11:14 (nine years ago) link
I can't see how, the ball stopped spinning when he touched it. Like I get that he barely touched it but I thought when you slow it down it's pretty clear. As for Winslow stepping out of bounds I understand that it's a hard call to make in real time but there's a ref like 2 feet away so it's kind of inexcusable.
Everything else is so subjective but in general I kinda think that elbowing a player in the face ought to be a charge (and not a defensive foul, as it was called) especially when Wisconsin was constantly getting hacked in the lane, as though they were going in slow motion as soon as they started driving. Duke got so many And-1s they were pretty much encouraged to just throw their arm out against the defender, that's almost never called an offensive foul but you do get block calls sometimes, IMO this is one of the worst things about basketball in general
― Abstinence Hawk (frogbs), Tuesday, 7 April 2015 12:56 (nine years ago) link
i'm not going to claim the officiating was *good* (nor was it good in the wisconsin-kentucky game, at least the part i saw) but i don't think it was particularly slanted, either. duke's two best players* were in foul trouble the entire game, after all.
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 7 April 2015 14:38 (nine years ago) link
Duke also made shots and that had little to do with the refs. But those two missed calls def deflated what would have been a more interesting end.
― And let’s say a new Hozier comes along, and Spotify outbids you (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 7 April 2015 14:59 (nine years ago) link
xp that's true but they wouldn't whistle a 5th on either and thus I think they both got away with some things. though I do concede that Okafor's 3rd was real sketchy. for the record I kinda suspect that Duke is better with him off the floor anyway.
But those two missed calls def deflated what would have been a more interesting end.
that's basically it isn't it? seemed all game like it was gonna come down to the last shot.

― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 7 April 2015 18:30 (nine years ago) link
I was making dinner, so I missed about a third of the game, but I thought the officiating was very mediocre. The refs seemed like they got caught up in making a bad call on a close play, realizing it, then making another bad call the other way to make up for it, then feeling bad about that make-up call and shading the next call the other way, ad infinitum, so that close foul calls began to function like the possession arrow.

I mostly agree with Joe Posnanski's theory on the matter, which is....he turned 35. not a lot of golfers having consistent success after that age. The fall from "he will definitely break Jack Nicklaus's record" to "he will probably never win another major again" is pretty crazy though
