CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2007 Flagrant or not..Xavier still had their 2 shots at the line to ice it and then didn't defend the guy shooting a 3, it's thier fault. Asking the refs to make a call that completely decides the game isn't right and they shouldn't do it. Unless it was the right call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2007 You kinda got to call a flagrant when the guy lowers his shoulder and just levels a player. He wasn't going for the ball or nothing, he just slammed into him. I guess they figured him fouling out was enough. Xavier did blow the game on their own though with that pathetic display of offense and defense in the final two minutes of regulation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2007 Having refereed university-level basketball, and watching Seth Davis' explanation of the Oden foul, I can say definitively that he has no idea what he's talking about. His saying that the officials would be saying Oden should be ejected from the game if they called an intentional is ridiculous. An intentional foul has nothing to do with the nature of the contact, and everything to do with whether or not he was making a play for the ball (which, from my viewpoint, he wasn't). If he wasn't making a play for the ball and just wanted to commit a foul to stop the clock, it's an intentional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's very rare for a player to get ejected for an intentional in a college game, unless it's a malicious foul. While not malicious, Oden's foul certainly was intentional (e.g., no play on the ball).

Corkscrew_Senton 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2007 I can't get over how bad that charge call was on Maryland's second-to-last possession. The defender was 1. still moving 2. under the basket and 3. didn't give Strawberry a step. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2007 Yes, Maryland got dicked on that charge call. But they didn't play like they really wanted for most of the game so fuck him. It's the NCAA tournament and if you dont play like you want to keep playing then you dont deserve it anyway. They had plenty of chances and blew it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
