2016 NCAA Tournament

[sflzman]

Alma takes down St. Norbert 70-64 behind 25 from Trevor Gernaat and 17 from Chase Fairchild. Both have been relative non-factors so far this post season. That's what makes Alma so scary

Darned right, D-Mac. North Park lost an overtime game at Elmhurst this season because a ref who was five feet away from the play and had an unobstructed view swallowed his whistle when an NPU player got clobbered on a layup attempt just prior to the buzzer at the end of regulation. Seeing as how NPU missed out on the four-team CCIW tourney by one game, you can see how that act of whistle-swallowing altered the entire season for the Vikings, especially since the player attempting the layup was an 80% free-throw shooter this year.

I've talked to more than one ref who was watching a game from the stands who has told me that he will never blow the whistle in that situation. I've made the same argument you made, and they've still insist that they'd never do it. It's frustrating.

Clobbered?  I suggest you watch the play again.  The only thing worse than refs missing obvious fouls is when they make bad calls based upon assumption of contact rather than actual viewed contact.  Don't stop the game because there "might" have been a foul.

Did you see the game, AO?

Elmhurst has it archived.   Play in question is at 1:43  http://livestream.com/elmhurstcollege/basketballmens/videos/109990202

Only game I really want to see is Oswego State-Wooster and having all kinds of problems pulling it up. Got all the other games but can't get this one. Got it up and running three times and then it just quits. Anyone else having a problem with that game?

Wooster breaks out of a 35-35 tie to score the last 4 points of the half and lead the Lakers 39-35 at the break.

No, AO,I mean seen it live. (I've watched the archived webcast numerous times.) Numerous people who were there at Faganel Hall that night -- including Elmhurst fans -- have told me that it was a clear foul. In fact, at least a couple of Elmhurst posters acknowledged it on CCIW Chat.

Yeah, I'm having trouble getting the feed for that game as well.

[magicman]

Thanks Greg. Glad the problem isn't on my end. What's funny is now that it's halftime it's coming in just fine.

I gave up because it completely disrupts all other things I'm trying to do because of how slow and/or glitchy it is. No problem with the other feeds though. Got livestats on and will try to put the video back on at the end...

I don't see much contact at all.  Calling it clobbered is preposterous.  They tumbled over each other after the play, is that what you're talking about?

[Gregory Sager]

"Clobbered" was not my original term, AO. It was used to describe the play by someone who was not only there -- which, again, you weren't -- but was watching from that end of the gym.

[pg04]

Is there a "people arguing about a call from weeks ago that aren't in the 2016 NCAA tournament any longer" board? 

[Gregory Sager]

Wish there was, pg04. I don't know why AO is making an issue of this.

On the bright side, I'm finally getting the Oswego State vs. Wooster game to work

LOL! And when I just tried everything crashed. I think my luck is shot.

[pg04]

Finally got in and the other major problem is that the live stats is ahead of the video and you can't remove them from the screen. Come on Oswego up your game (I already complained about this on another board).

[magicman]

I'm getting it fine now as well Greg. Hope it stays that way.
