Well 13 layups missed and Miami not missing a thing…

Shit happens, and tonight it happened to Auburn. We (Texas Tech) damn near joined you. We missed 11 lay ups. Just that kind of night.
 
When Gonzaga gets jobbed by the refs in the elite 8 game verses duke maybe then you will understand Gonzaga is still a johny come lately as well
There it is. From what I can see, not one team lost yesterday or this weekend, because the other team was better. Always the refs.

And I will say this, from what I saw this weekend, the officiating has been just awful for all teams.

Auburn didn’t lose because of officiating yesterday. We missed 15 layups. Baylor did screwed though when you allow bagot to basically be a Middle linebacker

He has been doing that all year. He sets picks by laying an elbow into they guy. He is a dirty player, but i think the refs feel sorry for him because he is so fugly.

It wasn't awful against UT, we just got beat by a team that had a hot hand.
 
To be fair, Miami has a history of playing excellent wide-open layup defense. Saw this happen last year to Duke.




For reals, though, that one Walker Kessler missed layup, directly after the Waardenburg block on Jabari Smith, was wild. How could you miss that badly? I would post a clip of it, but I can't find it anywhere.

That’s a fair point

The biggest possession of the game was auburn down 1. Early in second half. Walker missed 2. Jabari missed 1. Would have gotten our first lead of the game. Auburn had all momentum due to close at half. Right after that Miami goes on a quick 8-0 run with two complete miracle shots that went in. In my 30 years of watching basketball it’s the most frustrating loss I have watched. Even more than the uva final 4 game

The thing about momentum, though, is it can be stopped at any moment. I think with about 14 minutes left I knew the game was over. The Miami guards were running circles around Auburn, playing with all the confidence in the world. Obviously missed layups are gonna mess with your mind, but Auburn just didn't look like they had much fight in them most of the second half.

Also, kind of interesting that Auburn keeps losing to ACC schools in the tournament. Clemson, Virginia, and now Miami.

Yeah but we also beat unc an ACC team by 20 in the tourney in that stretch. Auburn couldn’t make any shots. Jabari went 3-17. By far his worst game of the season. It wasn’t just layups.

Auburn and Iowa Fans handled themselves very poorly this year. Hopefully it was a learning experience.

Life ain't easy as a high seed and the pressure that comes with it. Especially with the parity of this era. That's what's annoying about fans of teams that make surprise runs. They think that if they can make a deep run with a lowish seed, then they'll kill it every time as a high seed. That's not how it works.

except come here and post 150x about how you're not melting down at all if that's what anyone thinks.
I haven’t posted 150 times about not melting down. Perhaps work on that reading Comprehension. I hade enjoyed poking unc fans though yes

Ill second that last part. Sone games i didnt give two effs who won, the refs were still atrocious. They coukd probly run a what not to do reffing clinin on the second half of the unc/baylor game geeeeeze. Even the boards refs was like yea thats terrible lol.

Second half of Baylor v UNC was bad. I also thought TCU got hosed at the end a bit against Arizona. But I’m still glad that Arizona advanced.

Doug Shows watched the attack at the time line and never called a thing. It allowed Arizona to win.
