UNI pissed themselves but my god the officiating was atrocious. The gift wrapped the comeback chance for A&M. I am so sick of college sports.

SFA and UNI both got completely jobbed at the end of regulation. Yeah, UNI choked, but some awful horrendous calls. Especially that late and 1 call where the UNI player didnt even touch him.
Refs went full tard trying to get the aggies back in the game and it worked
Amazing. After all the 1st round upsets, only 1 small conference school in the Sweet 16 with Gonzaga? (Unless Oregon loses, of course). 15 of the 16 from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC & Big East & possibly the Big 12.
UNI didn't lose because of the officiating. They lost because they panicked.
There is no fargin' way you can pin all that on officiating. That was the single worst cough up job in NCAA tourney history.

Does the NCAA execs and tv execs want to see a final four with SFA UNI and MTSU? No
That would never happen and a mid major making a run adds excitement to the tournament for the casual fan. There is no bias, college refs are just bad in general.
St. Joe's couldn't close it out; Oregon wins. So, 15 of the "Sweet 16" come from what were BCS conferences. I know the NCAA doesn't control that, but they can't be too disappointed with those numbers. Those schools have alumni & fans that'll travel and spend money.
Just explain to me why Nova is going to Kentucky, Kansas to Kentucky, Virgina to Chicago? UNC to Philly? How does that make any sense? WTF was the NCAA thinking?
The reviewing of stuff inside of 2 minutes is such a stupid concept. A blown call in the first 2 minutes of the game matters just as much as a blown call in the last 2 minutes of a game.
UNI deserves plenty of blame for the loss, but not all. The refs do as well. I prefer they just get rid of the reviewing BS personally. Look at how the play with around 19 seconds left where the clock didn't start. They probably spent 3 or 4 minutes on that one clock reset. Give me a stop watch and, using elementary math, I could have figured it out in less than a minute! If the officials can't subtract....find someone who can!! The "foul" at the end of reg seemed BS to me and was a huge point....but didn't get a review?? ECT ECTUNI didn't lose because of the officiating. They lost because they panicked.

This is absolutely correct. Furthermore, they need to create a box or something that the players stand in while a review is going on so they can't go to their bench and essentially get a free time out.
That or they create a review type system where a coach has to call a time out to get a review. I understand wanting to get calls/time right, but there has to be a happy medium.
I imagine they put it in there because everyone focuses more on the blown calls in the last couple minutes. For example, the Woodbury shove on the game winner. If that happens in the first 2 minutes of the game, no one cares. Since it happened on the last play people freak out, which makes no sense.
But yes, I agree... it's obnoxious how they take 3-4 minutes to review an out of bounds play, only to draw the same conclusion that was originally called. This gives the team trying to make a comeback a free timeout and rest. Incredibly dumb.
I remember watching a Big Ten game this year where the coach was out of Time-outs. It was under 2 min and there was a clear play of the ball going off of the defender. They still went to review it because they said there was an error with the clock?? That coach got a free time-out because of the clock error. After the review they never did change the clock.
I would like to see them use TO's to challenge. Give each team 5TO's a game. If there is a close play and the coach wants to use a TO to challenge, they can. If they don't have any TO's, then they don't get to challenge and the play stands regardless if the ruling is right or wrong. I just think they are using replay WAY TO MUCH. These officials have to be held accountable for their calls. Bailing them out using replay is wrong.
I have thought for a long time that players shouldn't be allowed to consult with the coaches during a review.This is absolutely correct. Furthermore, they need to create a box or something that the players stand in while a review is going on so they can't go to their bench and essentially get a free time out.
