Hope you're all happy with your tainted "win." The REAL SCORE: Rutgers 58 TN 57. Cheating by a home timekeeper doesn't get more blatant than that, and the officials got into the act by ignoring the "frozen" clock. The same timekeeper tried to pull a few seconds off the clock at a dead ball when you were ahead at :49 sec, but the time was put back on. Rationalize this one all you want, but the tape proved it. Millions saw it on ESPN. Rutgers should protest and they should be given the win. They outplayed you for the entire second half and clearly won the game. What happened to "All-American" Candace when the game was on the line? She choked! I used to think you had a classy program. Not anymore. Now you're the LADY CHEATS! It's well-earned.

Grow Up!!! Not even my 5 year old sister would act like this.

And Candace didn't choke, she had 27 points and outscored everyone. hardly choking. For crying out loud, she has been hurt all week and just got to practice yesterday. If anything, all she has done is shown America what a great player and classy girl she is.

Tennessee Time...

0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 Official's arm up. Foul.

The timekeeper liked .2 sec so much that he left it on the clock at the end, even though the ball was touched on the inbound. Prince was slammed to the floor. No call. The officials walked off. Still .2 on the magic Tennessee clock. Announcer: "This game is over." It was over after the first 0.2!

Rocky Top Robbery. Total Bullsh#t.

We'll see you in the NCAAs. There will be a payback.

Well what is the fuss about, I looked at the video, and clearly the foul happened with 0.2 sec left on the clock.....some guy named Gino was the clock operator, so we know there was no monkey business.

I think Rutgers got what they deserved. There was so much BLATANT fouling going on against Candace Parker I'm surprised she didn't get hurt, especially by that big player whose last name starts with Ju. The REAL SCORE is the one they put on the books, after one of your players made ANOTHER cheap shot thinking that time had expired.

See you in the tourney. And I hope you lose to the lowest seed.

As I percieved it live, the whistle blew as Anosikie was going up, and the clock was still moving when the whistle blew.


*Edit.. I just got to listen to the audio of the replay on ESPN. Rutgers probably caught the wrong end of that call.

Check out the video. When you watch it in real time, you can hear that the whistle was blown after the clock should have expired. I'm just sick about this.

Then you need to come to my town and spend some time helping the tornado victims. THAT will give you a REAL reason to feel sick over.

It's a FREAKIN' game!

the operator doesn't stop the clock...it stops automatically when the whistle blows, then is restarted by a switch on the ref's belt.

And by the way, if that is true, then why bother to go check the replay? The official would've known the clock stopped with his/her whistle... so if the clock reads 0.2 then 0.2 it is. Why go look?
Just strikes me curious...

Adams had a good piece on this issue:

The game clock can only be stopped by an official's whistle, according to Tim Reese, the arena manager.
"Officials are using a precision-timing device, which is used by the SEC and most of the major conferences," he said. "It's tied into the control panel, and controls the game clock."
In addition to the whistle and an attached microphone, the officials also are armed with a belt pack, which sends a wireless signal to the clock.

They went to check the replay to see how much time was left when the whistle stopped it. The clock was inadvertantly started and ran the last 0.2 off the clock. They had to see how much time to put back on the clock and it was easy to see when the clock stopped. That's why it didn't take long to review the play. The whistle controls the clock, not somebody's finger on a button. Carolyn should have explained that on the broadcast and there wouldn't be such confusion on the clock. The play by play guy needs to brush up on how things work.:peace:

did you take the time to even read the article before posting? What part did you not understand about the clock being stopped by the whistle only?

All in all, the game is meaningless. It means nothing in either of the teams conference standings, both teams will be in the tourney, its a nonissue.

I read the article. I also watched the replay quite a bit.

Chain of events.

.5 .4 .3 .2 Clock Stalls. Anosike rebounds ball about this time. Begins her motion upwards and is fouled. Clock starts again. Hits 0 Official Raises his hand and whistle is sounding.

So the wireless transmission happened at .2 seconds, he reached down hit his belt pack to start the clock and then blew his whistle again to make the actual sound?

You all act like there's some rocket science "Ohhh a big lesson in how clock technology is" If at .2 the whistle was sounding, you'd have a really valid point. If the clock would have stopped at .2 and never started again and gone to 0, you'd have a point.

If the hand/whistle didn't sound at the same time after 0 seconds, you'd also have a point.

You ask, were the referees wrong? I think that it's most likely that they are instructed to act based on what the clock says and not to take into account that it may have malfunctioned.
