It doesn't matter if it's incidental.

It's clear path...

Josh Hart just got fouled, no call.

The "walk" a minute ago, that was a foul, no call.

It is identical to the to ND except Hayes didn't charge...

It does matter and it was not a clear path. The ball was CLEARLY going out of bounds OFF OF WISCONSIN.

Can we just go over how brilliant the final play was by Wisconsin for a second? Villanova had ZERO chance to do anything after that free throw.

I understand they were trying to freeze the dude at the line, and it worked. But they could've used that last TO at the end.

Except, you know, it doesn't. If you foul someone who is ahead of the entire defense from behind, it is clear path flagrant 1.... intent does not remotely matter. No where in clear path does it say anything about incidental contact, cause if it did, everyone would "accidentally" trip the player in front of them.

RIP Nova

And a good chunk of my bracket X_X



The only positive to this...

Is it's now down to Zona on that half of the bracket that could beat us.


Yeah I have UNC > Zona so we'll see

Then again my only real experience with college basketball before the tournament was Sportscenter during breakfast. >_>

He waant ahead of the defense. The other guy was behind him

So, with Nova getting fucked,

It's pretty much locked up that the National Championship game will be

UK/UCLA vs Zona, maybe Duke, with the slightest SLIGHTEST shot that Baylor or UF crash the party.

I got Baylor beating Duke so I hope they at least crash that party.

but yeah on that side of the bracket I can only see Arizona right now. I'll throw a bone to Gonzaga though, if there's any recent year that they actually had a real shot, this is the one, but getting through Press Virginia and Arizona to get the Final Four is going to be very difficult.

We're pretty much on the same page though on who has the best chance to win. My three main brackets have Zona, UK, and UCLA as the champs

That was not at all a flagrant on Hayes. I could see how a Villanova fan wouldn't like the officiating down the stretch but really Wisconsin was playing pretty clean.

You can play clean and still
Commit a flagrant. And he did. The flagrant is because it was clear path, not because it was malicious.

He did have a clear path to the basket. He was going that direction to coral the ball, in front of everyone, and got fouled which stopped his wide open layup.

The rest of the conference really dropped the ball today.

No, they've had legit incredible years, good years, and average years....



The difference is THIS YEAR when they quite clearly fucking sucked, the media was treating it as it was the best conference ever and saying shit like "they should get 12 teams in" and "winning the ACC is harder than making the Final Four" or "the ACC should get 3 1 seeds" or my personal favorite "very good chance for an all ACC Final Four"...

They have to care to win, and right now it's obvious one sees it as the game of their life for the honor of his school, and who is thinking they'll beat this team by default and looking ahead to "revenge" against UCLA...
