Devastating. Let's get rid of the Big 12 all together today.

the won't call that becuase it is OSU

0.5

Especially when that shot is a 3 when you're the worst shooter on the floor.

And **** Craft; but that shot was gutsy as shit. Just hold it and pull up and drain it. Well, good plan I guess.

Nah, no reason to call it. Would ruin that kid's life.

No, they won't call it because that would be the dumbest thing the officials could possibly do.

WTF was that?

Great game by ISU too bad they couldn't pull it out. Congrats ISU on a great season.

Great finish ....... If you are an OSU fan.

*monopoly*

Lawlz beakers really calling for a T?

The potential for a Craft/Marshall Henderson matchup in the Elite 8 remains alive! America's head will explode.

Yep, it would be dumb to ignore the rules. Of course, they already did that earlier.

Hang tough ISU. That was heartbreaking.

No doubt ISU got hosed!

Dumb or not, it's a justifed call, because that kid ran onto the court while the game was still on.

What rule was ignored earlier?

I say this every year, but you KU fans are really like Bronco fans, and MU fans are like Chiefs fans. It's amazing really.

RustShack will recover the only way he knows how-- insane homerisms

There was a time out. So no, it wasn't justified.

Let's be honest Craft took a shot in a tie game, not really that ballsy. If OSU would have been down 2 or 3 it would have been ballsy.

You crack me up. I'm a KU fan and I act like a Chiefs fan because I'm a Chiefs fan.

They're used to that. All being an ISU fan consists of is heartbreak.

This. Granted the refs did call tons of tic-tac BS on both sides down the stretch, the next step would be to start blow whistles on players that aren't even playing.

Anyways, OSU can suck it, glad they won for my bracket though.

The timeout wasn't called until AFTER the kid was on the court!

That shit was off Ohio St on that rebound. ****in horse shit.

Feel bad for the Booclones. tOSU shouldn't have had that last possession, ball last touched tOSU on its way out of bounds.

ISU season defined by two charging calls (one called, one not).

Thomas definitely pushed it with his hand, wasn't sure if Ejim tipped it before going out of bounds and they only showed the one replay.

New chiefs commercial...can't wait.

Yea, after letting ISU back into the game by missing the front end of 3 1-1's, then turning the ball over twice, leading to 11 of ISU's points in that 13-0 run, it wasn't ballsy at all to hold the rock for 29 seconds and release a three with 1.5 on the clock to win a trip to the SS.

Not at all.

Their season was actually defined by lack of defensive presence. You can boil it down to a couple of possessions if you like; but teams that don't play defense don't typically win close games.

Sure, I would have loved to have seen them send Craft packing, but I'm not going to act like one charge(bad call or not) defines the entire game. Especially when they let a half dozen uncontested layups go in and were down 13 at one point.

That's true. But Craft totally waved off the best scorer on the team who the play seemed to be run for. I like that kind of confidence. Now if he bricks it like he probably would 70% of the time, we would all be laughing at him and calling him dumb.

Craft is such a douche, he was taunting ISU after the shot.

LMAO CBS making damn sure everyone knows about the guy running on to the court

The replay they showed from the baseline looked like Ohio St knocked it out. Is that a reviewable play with that much time left?

The game was tied. It was ballsy, but their Tournament life was not on the line. Good ol' KILLER_CLOWN has a point.

I don't think those are reviewable, period.

To be honest, If I was coaching there, I would have played off too, make him beat you outside and not drive on you to the rim. He can get to the rim easily at times and is a good FT shooter, even though he missed a few at the end of the game.

No, they can only review timing issues and flying elbows.

That's the play that I thought the refs missed. But I looked again and Ejim got the last touch. And he knew it.

No it wasn't. Ejim touched it. And he didn't argue.

Well, I guess I'm rooting for anyone else to win that region now. I'll take whoever. In fact I hope it's Ole Miss and Henderson; and I hope his smacks that rosy cheek mofo.

Really I'd take anyone though. Wichita State or La Salle works too. Just not them.

Yeah, to me it was the ISU players hand that was swatting in that direction. It could have went off OSU but I didn't see it that way. Even if it was off OSU, I don't like plays called like that. If you're the one swatting it OOB on those fingertip players, it should be off you and I think the refs often automatically call it like that.

Barkley must have had money on the game. He's fuming

Things are getting a little chippy on the postgame show.

He's just pissed b/c he was calling OSU(and the B1G minus IU and MU) soft earlier and they won.

LOL @ Smith and Barkley

@tyshawntaylor for real though. Seen Craft play #kubball three times in two years and didn't even notice he was in the games.

That was pretty funny. Both make pretty salient points.

Yep. A team that plays defense can shut down a good point.

ISU couldn't. Even though Craft kept tripping over his own dick, missing shots and FT's; he still made quite a few easy points and hit the final shot to seal it.

He must post on CP. Hates the B1G. Hates the refs. Doubtful if he can even read and struggles with spoken word.

My dad said they should have doubled him on that possession and the last 4 or 5.

How many times you been wrong this year Nutsack?

All these points about the circle are the wrong point. He wasn't there in time. You can't sneak in as the guy rises into the air, circle or no circle.

If you are from OSU you can.

They pretty much do every segment. Barkley just sees this as a stage to give his opinion and go off on anyone he wants, including the two to his right. He constantly takes pot shots at both guys and their favorite teams. Kenny Smith rarely smiles, you can tell he doesn't think it's professional or necessary.

But, I think CBS thinks its good TV and Chuck is making his $ and until someone tells him to shut it....

He's always wrong.

I've had my fill of Cyclone tears for the season. I honestly don't care if he comes in here with his sadness. I know he'll re-fill my cup for many years to come; and that's good enough for me.

Nobody has even mentioned that the first player coming in from the shooter's left fouled him with the body before Craft was ever involved in the play, and I thought the shooter was up in the air before Craft even arrived. (My opinion)

So in five years, will we remember that Pablo didn't think ISU played good enough defense, or will we remember their heart-breaking defeats with the mass discussion about charging calls?

I get that you're on the defense soap box, but that's not how ISU won games. Hoiberg knew his team's strengths and weaknesses and played to them. It's easy to win games defensively with a Withey at the rim. It's not as easy when you play small and your best defender misses the entire 2nd half due to injury.

I dont know why ppl are so concerned if Crafts foot was over the line or not. It was a block either way. A secondary defender shouldnt be able slither under a guy that has already left the ground and expect a charge call. Sickening. Worse than the KU game because that was just a no call.

I thought the exact same thing. Shouldn't have been a charge, regardless, but in that situation, they missed both calls...

The head of officals just said that if his foot was hovering over the circle it would of been a foul but he couldnt tell if his foot was.

Also said that play is not reviewable.

:cuss:

After that comeback I thought ISU was gonna pull it out.

Already writers on twitter bringing up Hoiberg's name for UCLA. Really hope he stays IF offered some of these bigger schools. I think he can start recruiting better now that he has shown he can coach and they can win.

But Craft went in the lane untouched and got an "and 1". It was awful officiating on both sides.

lol, what a copout. Nobody's going to realistically claim his heel was over the line...

Twitter too. Scott Van Pelt and Seth Davis are getting after each other.

Ugh. I'd be so bummed if Hoiberg left, and that would crush Ames. He's a hero in that town...

:thumb:

ISU got robbed and the officials know it.

Yeah, like the head of officials is going to go on national TV and say his officials got it wrong. Keep dreaming.

ROFL LMAO ROFL.

This.

What a bunch of corrupt human beings. Doesn't matter. Ohio State never wins anything anyway. They may get to the championship game but they'll never win. After we trounced them in 2006 they can't win shit.

Still ****ing Bullshit. Head of officials knows the call was wrong. In other words Iowa State got screwed.

This. There were 16 fouls in the last 10 minutes, none of them "intentional." Let em' play!!!

This is mostly why I hate Craft, he gets every call. They'll let him molest the guards all game and not call shit, and since he's the smallest guy on the floor, he always gets the charge call when someone runs his dumb ass over.

Combine that with whining to the refs about every call/no call makes him my least favorite player in CBB. He's a bitch.

Ah well, at least my final 4 is still alive.

Possible that 4 B1G teams get to the Final Four. Michigan, Ohio State, Mich State, Indiana....then you still have Minn and Illinois in there as wildcards. Has that ever been done before?

I'm gonna guess no. Hell, I don't know if there's ever been 3/4 from one conference in.

ku fans complaining about another team getting calls. Hilarious.

I like how Craft can literally lower his head at full speed and spear a player and get a blocking foul called on the other player.

The reason it ticked me off is because after the charge call the announcers immediately started fellating Craft for having the presence of mind to raise his heel so it would still be a charge. It was pretty much the perfect storm of stupid.
