Texan4Auburn 1,626 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 4 hours ago, SlocombTiger said: I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I am extremely proud of this team. I've always been old school and believed that you should not put yourself in position for one bad call to cost you a game. Comparing this game to the NFC CG is a stretch. WAR EAGLE!!! I also am old school. Which means in the final minutes of games like this refs swallow the whistles and let the players decide the game unless its bloody murder. They don't make crucial no calls followed by crucial calls in a 3 second time span with 4 seconds left on the clock. Plus the refs had let that type of contact go all game. Reason why both teams still had fouls to give so late in the game. Consistency is important also. Don't let that contact go the entire game and then change the limits in the final minute.

Our guys held their own at the end and the officials made sure we all knew they were at the game too. I was referring to the missed 3s we had. We didn't need to be hot shooting the ball just have one more fall and it's a different outcome. Still very proud of this team. WAR EAGLE!!!

It was just a bad time to go cold from the 3 point line. I'm a believer in making plays so you are not in a position for a missed call to cost you a game. WAR EAGLE!!!

Games like this against #1 seeds who go 33-3 in the regular season and get to the Final Four are almost always going to be tight. It's almost inescapable. They didn't get there and win that many games, especially as a defensive specialist, by teams putting them away so refs calls wouldn't matter at the end. So, end of game calls are exponentially more important than just about any other play or call earlier in the game. The refs have to make those calls correctly. It was in open court with a trailing official in perfect position maybe 6 feet away and another on the other side with a clear view and neither made what isn't even a judgement call. We put ourselves in position to win. We fought through all the adversity, overcame the difficulties that a team like Virginia foists on almost everyone, and had the refs simply made the call right in front of their faces, we win. That simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlocombTiger 106 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Like I said before we are going to have to agree to disagree on this. The DD should have been called. I could have sworn that after the game Kenny Smith , Clark Kellogg and Barkley all agreed that they SAW it when it happened but neither of them REALIZED it was a DD. Bruce didn't argue the no call that I remember. The following stats had as much or more to do with the outcome as the no call did. Auburn 3 pt fg 9-31 29% Overall fg 21-55 38.2 % Virginia 3 pt fg 7-19 36.8% Overall fg 21-51 49% WAR EAGLE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offensive rebound shouldnt have ever happened. The guy who got the rebound came from out of bounds and never established himself back in bounds. To think I spent half time yelling at the tv about that call or non call. Like I said I know its petty, but it was just the first thing I thought if when I read your post. Anyways, I agree with you that it was a great year!! What a great run this team had!! WAR DAMN EAGLE!! 4 I missed that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them, nor you and I, are standing on the court, six feet away from it with a clear, unobstructed view being paid to catch it. The ref is. And there was another ref on the other side who could see it too. Steven Pearl even said afterward that they saw it and yelled but it was what it was. We put ourselves in position to win. And in fact, we had it. And it was taken, first by a blatant missed non-judgment call and then by a call they had not been making all night that they never should have had the opportunity to even attempt. Bruce as a coach has to take the so-called high road. I get to call a spade a spade - the ref failed at the one thing he is paid to do and cost us a title game shot.

auburnphan 6,050 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 It just sucks to have watched the dream of these players ripped from them by the incompetence of an officiating crew who are suppose to be the best. They did not deserve to go out like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker 2,457 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Bruce represented Auburn better than I would have and I love him for that. Publically, I won't whine. With "Family" here, well this hurts because: 1. the no call - that is his job to see and make that call. Inexcusable. I hate that. 2. As for those that that said, "well we should not put ourselves in that position" - well, we have just come from 10 down and then took the lead; not much time to get a 5-7 point lead; refs have to do their part too. I have ref'd recreational BB for 14 yrs - there are three refs and everyone is expecting them to do their job. I disagree with that sentiment. 3. I think I read 2 of the refs were from the ACC? how is this possible? The appearance alone looks horrible!!! Who is the idiot that set that up? This is also inexcusable. Auburn did more than enough to get the win. VA obviously played enough to win, but Auburn had to change it up, again and manufacture goals against another #1 seed. Overall, Auburn proved to be incredibly versatile and I could not be more proud. that's all I want to say; I will put on my "we're happy, we're proud and we're thrilled" face now.

I despise the argument that the ref(s) might have been looking for a quick foul so he (they) didn't see the double dribble. It's basketball refereeing 101 - when someone is dribbling and puts two hands on the ball they cannot dribble again unless a defender touches it. Neither ref was in a position where they could have thought Bryce knocked the ball loose. It was incredibly obvious that Jerome dribbled it off of his own leg, picked it up, and then dribbled again. This is a basic call that should have been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb1633 1,418 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I despise the argument of, "Well, you shouldn't have put yourself in that position in the first place." No kidding. That's an ideal situation, much like it's ideal that a football game never comes down to a kid having to make a last second field goal. However, these people have jobs for a reason, and when the game is on the line is when they should be doing their best work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
