Memphis Suffers

Memphis got rooked in the big tourney.

On the final possession, the Memphis player was fouled at least once, maybe twice.

That's because in the tournament, they let them play.

Rather than have a game decided by a bad whistle, they'd rather have it decided by a wrestling move.

A no call can be a bad call too.

Quit crying, it should not come down to a last possesion!

Are you a licensed official? Then you really have nothing valid to say, because you don't know or understand how to officiate a basketball game and what they are looking at. All you have is an over-inflated opinion of yourself that you think you "know better". Give me a break!

What do you have to know about officiating in order to recognize a mauling?

Shame on you, Picker, for having an opinion.

I agree with the Picker. If you're are going to call it in the first minute you have it call it in the last one also. It's a shame that these young men have to be robbed in this manner. When a team gives it the effort that Memphis gave, they deserve better.

I saw the same replays, and there was no foul...get over it...did it ruin your betting card???

A defender's body crashed into the Memphis guy. Twice. Foul.
Marathonman (last year)
You're right. That never happens in the first 39 minutes of the game.

You say foul.....you're opinion. Just because you get paid to write it for the paper doesn't mean its right. No whistle? No foul.

Texas got away with a lot (fouls) throughout the game. Not surprised they did not get called on the last one!
