Matchup of the night, the two best players in the country. Okafor vs. Kaminsky, they are guarding each other. Kaminsky with a huge three and then draws the charge on the other end.

HR puts doggies up 16-2 over ArKy. Whenever Arkansas bats again, run rule should end it so I can switch over to pull for Wussconsin.

National Regular Feed

I was looking for a homer channel when I stumbled on the softball game. I'm not sure there is a homer feed for championship, though I thought there was going to be.

I've never been to a roundball game in a football arena. I can't figure out if I'd love it or hate it. It would seem you could end up with some really awesome or really crappy seats.

They should be ashamed having Wisconsin have to go through UNC, ZONA, and Kentucky. Duke had a cake walk. Gonzaga was the only team to challenge them 30 minutes. The refs will make sure Duke wins.

Hot start of the half by Wisconsin. K calls a timeout, so we'll see if they make an adjustment to stop this roll.

I went a few years ago when Kentucky beat Kansas and sat in the upper deck end of Super Dome And the view was great. I wasn't sure how good they would be but went anyway. It was well worth it to be there with 77k people for a basketball championship. Hopefully I'll get to watch the Bulldogs play in one someday.

Watching Badger offense in the last minute was like watching certain MSU football teams from the past try to make a comeback.

Under 2 minutes they went to the monitor on an out of bounds play. Replay clearly showed the ball was off duke but refs still called it duke ball. Was a HUGE call.

Why have replay of refs aren't going to actually go by what it clearly shows?

Is that finger touching it or is it behind the ball? A very small part of it is hidden by the ball and you don't see the ball change direction so there's not enough to say if that's a touch or a very tricky camera angle. Refs got it right because they can't overturn the call without definitive proof. That's not there. We should know. Bama fumble vs us this year not overturned.

The call on the field, "was," overturned by a call made in the booth as if that call had been made on the field.

From the camera behind the basket you can also see the ball change direction slightly.

They also let Jones get away with a flop that took away 2 Wisconsin points and a charge where he bulldozed a Wisconsin player to lay one in. There was another obvious pro duke call around 3 min mark, where the duke player clearly stepped out while under the basket, passed to okafor and he laid it in. 6 point swing on just those three plays, not mentioning the finger on ball out of bounds. Ridiculous.

This. Two of the 3 angles showed either a touch or change of ball trajectory, and the human element was allowed to influence the outcome. With the technology available today, there's no way this and the stepping out of bounds play shouldn't be overturned. Don't have any replay of you are not going to use it correctly. It's better to leave it as originally called and let people argue. When you go to replay and it's obvious what happened, yet the call stands, it is more detrimental than not reviewing at all. Any red or ump who goes to replay and fails to overturn an obvious call should receive one warning and then never be allowed to red/ump a game at that level ever again.
