Re: Hoiberg...different strokes for different folks. He has 'em playing pretty good ball.
 

Ohio State with an impressive choke job right now...
 



Those idiots on Ohio State's bench could have been called for a TO if Iowa St. hadn't called a timeout. The one guy went running out onto the court.
 


Ice water in his veins shot by Aaron Craft for the OSU win. Glad to see another Big Ten team move onto the Sweet Sixteen. Let's hope Minnesota, Illinois and Indiana can join them later on this evening.

Go Gophers and go Big Ten.
 

The block/charge call came back to be pretty big for Iowa State, anyone else think that last ball out of bounds went off of Thomas? Iowa State committed a lot of unforced turnovers and in the end that really came back to hurt them.
 

Zeller looks awful today. Oladipo isn't playing much better.
 











If only Temple had Rodney Williams to block that Oladipo three.
 

RE: Craft taking a charge.

CBS brains are debating the charge yet. Did anyone think D Thomas fouled the shooter (arm and body?) before the charge occured?
 

Florida Gulf Coast sure looks good. Hope they bring it against Florida next week.
 

I can honestly say I have never heard of FGCU before this week.
 


Yeah, that was pretty bad. Not sure how they missed that.

It amazes me how we have the technology to get these calls correct, but have rules to prevent it from happening.

Yes, exactly. I think one of the main reasons is to keep the flow of the game intact. If anything can be reviewed, there would be a lot of stoppages. However, down the stretch of games like this, I think that calls like this one should be reviewable. That was a terrible call.
 

I didn't pay a lot of attention to Miami this year. What elevated them from the team that didn't care in the NIT to a legit contender?

A lot of favoritism today for higher-seeded teams. That out of bounds call was obvious. Glaring.

One of the worst days of officiating I can remember. Bad calls that directly influenced the outcome of Ohio State (Craft "charge") Indiana (Wyatt cleanly stripped Oladipo and had an easy layup to put Temple back in front; instead Oladipo goes to the stripe), and Miami (Kadji swats the ball out of bounds, but Miami gets the ball).

I can see the charge call, because that's how the college game is called these days: A defender falls, it's probably gonna be a charge 70 percent of the time. (That's not to mention that the Cyclone player was clearly fouled before he even made contact with Craft, but I digress.) The Wyatt steal frustrated me, because that's a steal Oladipo himself probably makes once a game, and should never be whistled. Oladipo was out of control, dribbling too far from his body, and Wyatt stole it, clean. Bad call. The Kadji call is baffling, because it was brutally obvious. That's a call officials get right 95 percent of the time. Rough day for the refs.

I don't think they graduated any of their starters from last years team. I could be wrong.
 

Bumping this thread so we can evaluate the coaching candidates that we'll presumably start focusing on if no news breaks by tomorrow.
 

I can already guess what's gonna happen if Marquette or Wichita St. lose tonight.

I'm sure the Buzz Williams......ummm....buzz, will pick up tomorrow if they lose tonight. Gregg Marshall too to a lesser extent.
