SCU guards have had a few threes blocked like that, they needed to get towards the hoop then kick it out for a better look

JG's Zips hangin' in there with ~ 6 remaining

[EDIT: That aged poorly!]

Two possessions in a row where the guy made no space for himself before trying to shoot over a taller longer defender.

not calling time out after made 3 or fouling when approaching half court ...

There’s a great view that he tried but refs ignored it before the ball was inbounded

What an epic collapse by Santa Clara.. Rough way to lose

 

[IllinoisFan733]

Did Owen save Mark Popes job?

 

[Illini2010-11]

Is it too crazy to say a banked in 3 to push the game to OT might have saved Pope's job?

not calling time out after made 3 or fouling when approaching half court ...

Their coach was calling timeout but the refs ignored him.

 

[Illini2010-11]

Zips are running out of gas.

 

[kyillinifan]

UK got a break on the no traveling call.

 

[eas23]

This is how buzzer beaters work obviously, but Santa Clara technically a lead with 0's on the clock. That's a crushing loss.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Just brutal for Santa Clara. They played well.

 

[wettsten]

classless dunk by kentucky at the end there. i think santa clara would have let him dribble it out

Wright St giving UVA a hard time going into the half.

 

[abchew2]

Definitely felt like Santa Clara earned the win but sometimes the ball favors the more fortunate. I wonder how things would have changed if that timeout was granted. Hope someone asks the coach if he would have fouled on that possession if he got the timeout.

Had a friend send me this:

Go Wright St.

 

[Grandpa]

Referees had $$ on Kentucky. Last 5 minutes what was a foul on one end wasn't on the other.

 

[Piotyr]

Akron got it within 4 at 66-62, and then Texas Tech went on a 16-4 run to basically put it away.

Coach was calling for it, refs didn’t give it to him.

Such lofty aspirations…..

 

[FreshlySqueezed]

Can you imagine what some folks on this board would have been like if we were down 5 at halftime like Virginia is?

 

[Oracle21]

Can’t believe they didn’t foul in the back court

It’s just bad coaching. So many of these teams let 3s be shot, while up 3. It’s like they don’t practice how to foul in those situations

I get the sentiment that it’s specifically at that site but it does come off hilarious framing it from the entire tournament perspective
