Creighton Raped By The Refs
- Thread starter T
- Start date
And now all the basketball people try to defend that ridiculous call. Nowhere near his shooting hand, the shot wasn't even close. No way the offhand touching his hip had any effect on that shot. Exactly why I very rarely bet on the sport.
I had a decent bet on Creighton. I would not have made that call in that spot but it it what it is. Blue Jay's had plenty of chances to win but missed way too many shots of their own & gave up too many 2nd chance points.
Completely agree… That is a absolute fact. Still it was a tie game with 1 2nd left… And a very very questionable foul, nowhere near his shooting hand.
Not going to be a popular view, but my view is refs regulate totals more than games / sides for 95% of the clock.
in the last couple min, esp secs, i think they’re so abused / campaigned to, cursed out, they have no idea wtf to do!
if they wanted creighton to lose they wouldnt leave it to chance that close.
not saying sports are real, but the EOG stuff if not impacting a total is just incompetence.
not an excuse. Just sayin

Carbon copy of the Bama game Jack. Bama went 3-20 from 3 with 17 turnovers. And like Creighton, Bama missed 10+ shots under 2 feet. Maybe SdSt deserves the credit for this.
I watched SDSU play Fresno St from the floor and it was a grind it out game. The final score was 45-43. Fresno had a chance to beat them in the final seconds. But I have never seen such a low scoring game. Both teams were heaving up shots in the final seconds of the shot clock on every possession. Their defense is real. This might be a blueprint on how to win in the future. Tenacious defense. Who woulda thought?
I bet Creighton so maybe I’m a little biased but considering how physical the game was and how many no calls there were up till that point I think the call shouldn’t have been made. If it wasn’t called I don’t think people would be up in arms. The bottom line is it was a foul though. Barely. Sucks but Creighton had chances to put the game away and didn’t so they really can’t blame the officials for losing. And yes - I do think officials influence these games way too much. I had Miami and I 100% think Texas got hosed. Even taking out the intentional fouls the disparity clearly showed Miami was getting favorable treatment. I doubt it was done on purpose and I don’t think the game was “fixed” but Texas backers have a legitimate gripe. But again in that game - Texas seemed to lose their intensity and Miami took advantage. Both games were heavily influenced by the officials which sucks tbh.

If a foul wasn't called the people that bet SDSU would be up in arms
I played a lot of basketball during my years here on Earth, as a youth and adult, I'm 6'4", and I'm now a referee for basketball games.
As a player, if you are displaced while you are in mid air, it's very difficult to make the basket. He was clearly in midair and clearly displaced on the shot, enough to throw off its trajectory.
As a referee, I look for a player being displaced while being in midair. This player was indeed displaced by the hand on the hip and pushing him sideways. Making it a difficult shot to complete.
Now. Would I have made that call during that game? I don't think so. I am very good at making a call without any thought to consequence of what it might mean. In other words, if I think it's a foul, I don't care if it comes at the last second against the home team and I put the road team guy on the free throw line at the end of a game. A foul, is a foul, is a foul. But there was a lot of physical play in that game and the call didn't coincide with how the game was being called by the referees.
My 2 cents fwiw....

if the officials are going to call a “foul” a “foul”
as you say, letter of the law, explain that?
If it’s “no whistles at end of games, then the SDSU player wasn’t fouled (by that standard at least).
with these debates ppl wanna have their cake n eat it too. Its very hypocritical.
the solution is an automatic replay initiated review on any foul under 30 secs, or lead changing foul call.
otherwise, this happens indefinitely.
i had SDSU large, i did not think that warranted a foul for the record. The chest bump in the video (tenn not called) 99 of 98 times is a foul. But if thats not called, FAU bettors have no case.
it blows period
Officiating is part of any game. You will have men/women missing calls because we are human. We are not perfect.
If you read what I wrote, I said if I was given that opportunity, I don't think I blow that whistle. But heck, I'm human and in that moment, your mind might be triggered and you see the hand push/check as the player is air born and you blow it. It's an imperfect science. The only way to adjudicate that is to give coaches in college a chance to overturn it like they now have in the NBA. But let me ask you this. If the Creighton coach had a review opportunity left and he asked for a review of that call, do you think they overturn the call on the court because there wasn't a foul?

Most here are pissed or happy because they lost or won $$$. I am heartbroken for the kids on the Creighton Team. They certainly played well enough to win & as they say "Left it all on the Court". BTW-I bet on the Aztecs ML(+110) so put me in the Happy Group.
