Not sure why I took the time to listen to a press conference from this embarrassment of a basketball team, but I took solace in the fact that Fish sure sounded like a guy who knows he's about to be let go.

Wondering if Weber being taken down by UNC would be considered an upset. I had Weber in the finals against that "other team"...

How about UND blowing two FTs that would have won the game and then losing in OT to that "other team?"


Seattle to Billings to Missoula to Bozeman to Portland to Billings

What a ride

I'm sure you meant UNC and yes, make those FTs and it's a UNC win. To add to that UNC got screwed by the refs for not getting it across the half line in ten seconds.
With 57.6 seconds left regulation the griz were at the FT line. They made the first and missed the second. UNC rebounded and were clearly across the half line at
the 47.7 mark. Yeah that's cutting it close but he was over. Go look at the replay if you have any doubt. The whistle was blown even earlier. If I knew how to post it here I would.
Last night I really thought it was a bad call and didn't take time to look at it till I got home from skiing this evening.
I've refed and know it's not an easy job because the game can be so fast but there is just no excuse for that mistaken call.

Sorry last time editing I hope. At 48.1 seconds the ref's hand is up and blowing whistle. Math challenged ref. [-X
Only had to edit twice because we stopped too long at a brewery on the way home. Thankfully my wife is a reliable designated driver.

You don’t know what you are talking about, the refs don’t look at the game clock, they only look at the shot clock, if the shot clock hits 20 it’s a ten second violation.

Ummm shouldn't those be in sync with each other, is it even possible in that situation of coming off a FT for them to be out of sync? The video shows it clearly on the game clock that the ref jumped the gun. As I said if I knew how to post a screen shot of the ref with his hand up at 48.1seconds and where the player was at 47.6 seconds I would. I hope someone will post those. By all means if you have a screen shot that has the shot clock showing what you're claiming share it with us.
