College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

Wow, the end of that game. Terrrrrrible officiating to make amends for a poorly communicated message.

Maryland scores with 8.1 seconds left to draw within 1. Purdue ball inbounding after a made basket. Officials blow the whistle to review the clock and reset it to 7.8, but do not tell the coaches that it now becomes a spot inbound instead of a free-run inbound. They DO, however, alert the inbounding player that it is a spot inbound. And yet he still tries to pass to a teammate who jumped onto the baseline to receive a pass while out of bounds. Matt Painter goes nuts because the coaches weren't informed and that was the play he had drawn up.

Instead, it becomes Maryland ball, they inbound, and go in for a layup. Guy defending lowers his arms into the driver and fouls him, but no call from the refs who swallow their whistle because they felt bad about the communication error on their part. Then as Maryland tries to foul the rebounder, the refs call nothing allowing Purdue to just throw the ball downcourt to run out the time.
I’ve been wishing for robo refs for all sports for years now. I know it’s still a long ways away but I’m hoping it comes to fruition one day.
 
Watching the ky Florida replay. If we had gotten Tshiebwe to transfer in we would be a top 5 team.

Also, props to Washington. Scrambling for a lose ball got his leg rolled up on. Instead of laying on the floor and stopping the game for 5 minutes, he slaps the floor, hops up and limps off the court strait to the locker room.
