Overall, I thought the officiating was good. I also liked how they let them play, unlike previous games with this new NCAA mandate on touch fouls. However, there were two fouls (no calls) right at the end of the game which I thought cost us the game. One was on a loose ball where people were diving on the floor. Gfeller who was standing upright had his legs cut out from under him as he picked up the ball by two diving Zags. He dropped the ball the Zags got it and called timeout. It ended up being a possession swing and points for them. The other call was Breunig being mugged under the basket with a no call on one of our last possessions. I think there were some significant no calls that should have been called on us earlier in the game. However ours happened at crunch time. Refs determine the outcome of basketball games all the time.mtgrizrule said:grizindabox said:acehunter65 said:How about Montana's "5 point play" that almost put them in a position to win. Never in the history of basketball has a call like that been made. The Zag player without a doubt ran thru the screen and was guilty of a foul as called, but how can you then count a three point shot that was clearly after the foul. Ball is dead when a foul is called unless you are playing pro ball with their continuation calls.
This is total fail...player was in the act of shooting...it was not continuation....call was correct....
I just watched the game and replayed this play several times. The referees absolutely got it right. Gfeller was stepping to the pass for his shot as this simultaneously happened. Speaking of refs, I absolutely loved how the refs let the teams play this game. The GRIZ needed to have a physical game. That is how post season basketball is when you get outside of the conference. Note to Big Sky officials, please let every team play and swallow the whistle more. It will benefit the conference when Big Sky teams play in post season tournaments.
