how the hell was that foul at the end of regulation in the ohio st/xavier game NOT intentional? he clearly pushed him and was not playing the ball... wtf

And why didn't Xavier foul before the 3 point shot? Bad coaching.

yea no kiddin judge.... i cant believe xavier didnt foul and put ohio st on the line... alot of coaches dont do that... they must not think clearly or something cuz its the most obvious thing to do in that situation

If I'm a X fan, i'm livid....coaches don't foul in this situation because of some stupid etiquette thing or someting. Hell, if I'm uo six witth 10 seconds I would foul. With less than five seconds and ball in own half of court and up 3, to let a three tie you is inexcusable...FOUL

Especially with Oden being out. That would be the main threat on a missmissed the free throw I told my kid right before the Xavier guy missed the free throw "If he misses Xavier should foul." They didn't and it cost them. It's going to be a very long time before Xavier fans recover from that collapse.

OhioSt. beyond lucky to be advancing here...far too many reasons to list. Thats why the "madness" thing will always be linked to this March tournament. Cannot believe X didn't take that sure victory home though -- WOW!

No way. That was all acting. The guy took a leap back about a half second after the little foul.

Surprised it wasnt called since none of the three refs are big 10 stalwarts.

Would think they preferred seeing top ranked OSU out so other teams in their home leagues would have a better chance to win the title.

At least Xavier covered the +7.5 in OT...would have been a real disaster if the dog cover bit the dust in OT.
