Goddammit you obtuse fuck….it’s a literal description of a foul. It’s like yelling “he walked!” Or “he’s hooking!” Or “he slapped his shooting arm!” JFC.

Speaking of hooking, I saw a few of those by Miami that were ignored

Timmy may have gotten called for a foul on one of them now that I think about it

Not that this argument needs any more fuel, but even Omier thought he had fouled out on the play. Just sayin'.

Exactly.  It's like when a batter starts heading back to the dugout then looks over his shoulder and realizes you didn't call it strike 3.

Nobody knows better than the players.  He fucking knew he was gone.

Why didn’t you yell “PLAYER CONTROL FOUL!!!”?

This exact situation happened right after Carr’s injury...Miami dude drove straight into Brock’s chest and Brock got called for a foul...2 free throws for Miami 

There definitely like 5 calls that in every other game were called charges in Texas's favor but in this game were called blocks against Texas

Serious question. Why would I yell that? I don’t know what you mean 

Edited March 27, 2023 by Hammerin Hank
Ok I looked it up. I actually yelled that he was hooking him. Does that count?

What sucks is regardless of anything else, we had opportunities. It’s like the basket had a fucking lid on it 

We should have played more guys in the second half

RT was subbing a lot in the first half and that worked great. He kept with basically one lineup the last 10 minutes. Which was not the right call.

[BurntOrange&White 39934]

Damn Rodney Terry in his post game press conference has it dusty af in my house.

[hobbes2702 13045]

The FT disparity in this game is so absurd. Forget the Brock thing. The fact that we took 11 more shots and had less than half the FTA is pretty crazy.

That’s the actual official name of a foul committed by a player who has possession of the ball. “Hooking” is not an actual name of a foul. Some around here think we can’t say things like “over the back” since that’s not an actual name of a foul.

I agree with this. I thought we should have had Arterio Morris in more once Carr got hurt. He made some good shots in the first half

Yea, syntax arguments are fucking dumb when the overall point is that was an absurd “reversal” of a 50/50 call

CDC needs to carefully think about this next move. Beard wins this game by 20.

Nope.  When the offensive player can be like Beard trying to take his glasses back anytime there is pressure, it's gonna be tough to defend.  

[Willfully Horn 8023]

Off topic, but HEB’s crawfish boil was legit. The crawfish.were incredibly smart. Shrimp and veggies were too salty. Hence bourbon and beer, hence this shitty post. 
 

I really had high hopes for this team.

[chemHORN 1241]

The biggest mistake any player made in this game was Carr taking that last shot instead of throwing the ball straight at one of the refs heads.

He could have helped with Wong also.  He had like 2 points in the first half and didn't start doing shit until Carr got hurt.

[KingBobo81 535]

Really a heartbreaking loss. It seemed like player health was one of the things in our favor for the most part this season and to see Rice/Carr looking gimpy and Disu not being able to go, we will have to ask what if.

Nevertheless, it was a great season and I’m so proud of our guys and coaches for making it one to remember when it could have easily spiraled.

[CycleTex87 2970]

Really fun, strange tournament this year. Enjoyed the X game immensely.  Ran out of plays and playmakers in the 2nd half of the 2nd half against the U, much as I loathe that school.  Let’s let Coach T reload and give a go next year. 

[InkaUtexas 25954]

good run, more than I expected. Do I want to see us win it all? Of course, but just not the year. 

Kids played hard this year. Suggest we remember that.

[Longboard Horn 40326]

Hire Rodney Terry. He is the guy!

[chemHORN 1241]

8 fouls called in the first half.  29 called in the 2nd half.  Either they switched crews at halftime or the NCAA memo was received.

If we'd had a guy go 7-7 from the field and 13-13 from the line, we'd have been calling it one of the game's greatest performances ever. And rightly so. Regardless of how many FTs Miller really earned, that guy was a killer today. Has anyone on that stage ever hit all 20 attempts? Not even Walton. 

I think Laetner did it one time in an elite 8 game.

One ref called a foul on Miami, one ref called it on Texas. They got together and went with one of the calls; that happens all the time…

Wait so both refs blew the whistle at the same time?

Bullshit. One ref called the foul. Then he met with the others and overturned it.

[TommysTinyTowels 787]

Gutted. Deepest, most mature team we've ever had, easily our best shot ever to win the whole damn thing. Top seeds out, it was there for the taking.

Really going to miss Rice and Carr, going to take a while to get over this one and appreciate how great this season actually was.

[CTC2 2797]

What a fun season.   I doubt I will like many Longhorn teams more than this one.   

[JGrayDBU 339]

we're never getting away from the Big 12 b.s. are we?  Is that really true, that 2 of these refs were big 12 guys? 

 

Great postseason run by the horns.  No matter how many times it happens, I never expect refs to determine the outcome  of a game.  Especially during the postseason.   It happened twice today, earlier game and ours.

and I was correct!  Christian Laetner 1992, in the game in which he hit the buzzer beater he was perfect.   I am impressed I remembered that!

Ah, I see.

Cunningham is supposed to be thinking “as soon as this guy jumps, I have to stop moving backward.” 

While his momentum is moving backward, his eyes are on the ball, and he’s supposed to be able to discern when the guy has gone vertical.

You guys are fucking something else.

So... For fuck's sake... Let's just not see it and it's not a foul. Like little kids and object permanence.

He didn't intentionally foul, but that doesn't make it not a foul. ust because he can't see what's happening, doesn't make it not a foul.

sometimes, hustling like you're supposed to results in a foul. It did.

 

[horn4life 3761]

I'll confess, maybe I don't watch enough college basketball, but I have never seen them stop counting the fouls on the tv screen.  

Of course it's also sort of hard to say the Ref's are not influencing the game when on team gets 32 free throws, and the other team gets 15.  I hate the way television influences the refs to try to "keep the game close." in these big matchups.  

Great season for the Horns, but the one lesson that EVERY Texas team has to learn.  At Texas you will always have to be better than your opponent, and the referees...

So over the back should be a foul on the guy blocking out every single time then.  

Nope. Boxing out doesn't mean move your feet backwards. It's not even taught that way.

Bullshit. Once you’re boxed out and the ball is on the other side of the player boxing you out, you’ve lost the battle. Any contact you initiate in that situation is a foul on you. Period.

We would have won with Disu.  No doubt.  Miami didn't have to shoot from the outside because we had nobody to block out the inside.  They just drove in and laid it up….at the end, just gave the ball to Miller to drive it to the basket…we couldn’t stop him.  If he didn’t make a short shot, he’d get fouled…he made 13 straight free throws…they took 32 free throws to our 15….

 It hurts losing a close game that we should and could have won…I’m sure the players are hurting more than the fans.  

[TexArcher 37894]

I'm so sick that it ended this way for these guys.  Everybody involved with this season deserved a Final Four.  

If Miami had come out and whipped us by 15, hey, tip your cap.  If they'd hit three after three to come back from 13 down, hey, tip your cap.  But to be given 21 fucking free throws in the last 10 minutes and win a game without hitting a single field goal in the last 5 minutes?  That's a god damned robbery.

And this season, with all its storylines, deserved a better ending.

This one's gonna bother me for a long time.  Forever.

[Starscreacher 179]

One of the refs from last years Purdue game also did this game.

You're saying Omier initiated contact. That's not what I'm saying or what was called.

And you're still not fully correct...

Cunningham had him boxed out. For some reason, everyone seems to think moving your feet while clearing out can't be called a foul. Cunningham had a great box out... But the backwards walk with contact turned into a foul.

I know someone will post a gif if I'm seeing it wrong.

I'm in the same boat.

Particularly the way the game was officiated. First half and maybe a handful of minutes of the second half were "let them play" but then the refs shoved themselves into the second half and the last few minutes especially.

And what it did was disrupt Texas' flow and rhythm and let Miami score all they needed from the line. Good on them for making their free throws, I guess.

Texas only hit 5 of their last 18 FG attempts.
