All in all though, it has to be just pure incompetence and not actual gambling-influenced corruption.

They were nowhere close to Syracuse covering the spread, and no one offers moneylines on 1 vs. 16.




They'll be patted on the back and probably be given bonuses for it.

I doubt I'll watch another second of the basketball for the rest of the day.

That doesn't make any sense to me though.

Why would the NCAA want a 1-seed to beat a 16-seed?

Crazy upsets are what make people LIKE March Madness, and this would have been unprecedented.

All ignoring that that was obviously a foul against triche that wasn't called. Lol. You're just as biased as the announcers.

Yeah. No. Your ****ing ****** who can't read like Fab Melo and the rest of your team ran and jumped into someone's arm who had established position all ready. If it was a foul at all, it was on him.

Syracuse is worth a lot more money to them than a 16 beating a 1.

And really. I count two bad calls against UNCA. The missed goaltending and that out of bounds play (could have also been a foul against UNCA). SU had a bad goaltending called against them, and Triche should have had two free throws at the end of the second half (it was a shotclock violation, but he was fouled even before he shot). I also didnt see any contact on that first three point foul that gave UNCA three free throws.

It was a horrible officiated game. That horrible officiating was not one sided.

Don't forget the 5 second call where Cuse was awarded a time out when it had been like 5.5 seconds already.

And the head official guy just said on CBS that the out-of-bounds call was incidental contact, shouldn't have been a foul either way, and should have been UNCA ball.

Meh, I have a hard time believing it was more than 5 seconds on that one. Seemed closer to like 4 seconds to me. I wasn't actually counting though.

You don't know how the rule works. It does not MATTER when the foul occurred, it matters when the foul is called. The refs are not robots, they can't signal anything instantly. The foul happened before the shot clock, the signal was after. Half over. The game was completely one sided, and Kansas State is going to beat the **** out of you.
