    RockyHill Loves Auburn more than Tennessee.

    As I previously said, my opinion would not change had Auburn been the beneficiary there.

    And what will always hurt was Chuma getting injured. Obviously you never know but with him they are probably the best team and likely get the Natty.

    You want it both ways. Review what your position is.

    Not at all. Defender was in place and the shooter was initiating contact. If anything that's a player controlled foul on Auburn.

    My point was that, if in this context we can define blatant as clearly a foul per the rule book, so called blatant fouls are not called throughout the entire game. And this is true in most college basketball games.

    Right. So this is not really a circumstance in which you can complain too much. They got it right. Stick to complaining about specific instances they didn't, such as the double dribble.

    Exactly. Offensive player initiated contact is totally different than the foul call in favor of Guy.

    If the Auburn player hadn’t fouled the shooter, Auburn wins.

    Auburn’s defender did foul the shooter.

    The ref correctly called the foul.

    The UVA player subsequently hit three free throws, gave his team a decisive lead and Auburn lost the game.

    No other debate is necessary.

    Scream, [itch bay], whine, moan, jump up and down, hold your breath, or whatever else.

    You can come sit on the couch in my living room with me and ol’ Bruce and watch the final game, for all the difference it’ll make.

    [uck fay] Auburn.

    If he was fouled, it should have been called.

    Who’s arguing otherwise?

    Even if you’re right - and you aren’t - you’re just arguing two wrongs, anyway.

    To be fair, UVA may sink that shot without a foul.

    Perfectly fair.

    And the problem is that we will never know.

    Because Auburn fouled him.

    Texas Tech is on a 1-0 run, might need to take a timeout here

    Virginia seems to have trouble holding these late leads. They've evaporated fast the last three games for them, too.

    Texas Tech has had an astonishing number of good bounces the last five minutes. They win right here on Hunter's missed pass, they are just destined to win.

    No better way to defend that.
