Rutgers Women SCREWED

[kegray1]

Anyone see the end of that game(not that I really care),but they got screwed HARD @Tenn.

Tenn down 1 throws up brick after brick to end the game. Some Tenn hoe gets a rebound with 2 tenths of a sec. left on the clock.
One problem the clock was stuck on that before she even got the ball. Then she shot it and they call a foul.
She hits both FT's for the Tenn win.

NCAA SHOULD OVERTURN THIS WIN.
DO THE RIGHT THING FOR ONCE.
Just because some idiot stops the clock doesnt mean the game is not timed. They got 2 or 3 extra seconds before the foul.

I don't care, I just dont like people getting screwed then watching the bitches celebrate.

 

[3 Seconds]

It wasnt 2-3 seconds....it was closer to maybe 1 sec, but clearly more than .2 secs.

You are completely right. Rutgets got straight rammed high & dry in the arse on that one.

 

[Box and one]

I saw it also.Time expired..only saw the replays...did the refs go to the monitor after the buzzer went off..?? That to me could be corrected..Rutgers should of won..

As a point of education, there is no "clock operator" who sits at the scoring table pushing buttons. The game clock is an automated system which utilizes the belt pack sensors that each referee wears. When the clock is running, it can only be stopped by the sound of the referee's whistle. The only way that they clock can be started is for one of the referees to push the button on their pack to restart the clock. As such, the whistle will usually sound, stopping the clock, before the referee's hand goes up to signal a foul. If the clock restarted after it "paused" last night, it was because one of the referees pushed the button on their belt pack. The whistle can not re-start the clock, only the button can.

As to the foul, that should have been a flagrant foul because there was no intent to block the ball, only to stop Anosike. If Rutgers were playing smart basketball, they should have let her follow through with her shot because she would not have been able to get it off before the buzzer, just like in the LSU game on Saturday.

Is this a Believe It or Not :shrug:

Apparently not. That was copied and pasted from the local paper in knoxville. Actually a reader posted comment. Even some high schools are using this type of clock system now, but it was the first i had ever heard of it.

As crazy as it looked, it was a foul. But this wasn't nearly as bad as the way the Gtown-Villanova game ended. A tenth of a second and a little bump foul called! They should have went to OT.

Beaver ball:shrug:

And I live in Knoxville, don't give a damn

I'm sure Don Imus is outraged by the whole thing.
