March Madness Game Thread: Northwestern vs. FAU

[FeralFelidae]

Okay what just happened... Goldin is a p*ssy and took an elbow off a rebound so we got docked 4 points?

'Cats had a fast-break opportunity with numbers, and the announcers agree the refs shouldn't have stopped the play. But they did stop the play, looked at the monitor and retroactively called a flagrant 1, then of course FAU got the ball after the free throws. Just a huge call.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

What. The. ****.

 

[EvanstonCat]

Just not Boo’s day.

He took us here though. Thank you Boo

 

[RhabdoWildcat]

This is a total ref screw job.

 

[Cat-Court-Jester]

That flagrant call rescued FAU.

Maybe it was the right call, but it was huge. The 'Cats were about to put it away.

So they incorrectly stopped play for an injury at the other hoop when NU was advancing the ball (that was incorrect by rule)

Then they review for a foul, give FAU a flagrant 1 when Martinelli is looking the other way and can't see behind him... FAU gets two shots AND the ball??!

If NU had scored / completed their possession, then would they have counted the points or gone back a full possession?

That was not done correctly, at all. And completely changed the game. Another brutal game changing call under 5 min in an NCAA Tourney Game, shades of Gonzaga. Ugh.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

The last 4 offensive possessions have been embarrassing

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Not a great game but I hope the world is entertained

It was a flagrant one. He clocked him and left a strawberry.

 

[Figrating]

Two shots for an NU w. Shoot NU.

 

[FeralFelidae]

They still shouldn't have stopped the play, if they didn't make the call on the floor.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Refs talking to Dusty May, and he's like, "Okay, I understand. Our ball."

 

[GatoLouco]

Quite the choke. Ugh

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Get the **** outta here with this flagrant review

 

[AdamOnFirst]

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED

 

[FeralFelidae]

Quite the choke. Ugh

Sent it to extra time.

 

[EagerFan]

I'm surprised they didn't call another one on Brooks for brushing 50's hair. did you see how he reacted to the contact? I think there's a concussion.

 

[Figrating]

screwed to the wall by a bad call

 

[Darren72]

Or he's flopping for the call.

 

[EvanstonCat]

What? OT? I’ll take it. Brooks Barnhizer for President!

 

[Figrating]

#$%^&*(+_)(*&^%$%^&*()_+, NU is OWED this game.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

I can't take much more of this!

 

[Darren72]

Langborg!

 

[FeralFelidae]

How was that mugging not a foul? We ended up hitting a 3, so it worked out, but I don't understand how the refs allow that much contact.

 

[Darren72]

BOOOOO!

 

[stpaulcat]

Regardless of how this ends, these guys are fighters!

 

[EagerFan]

Or he's flopping for the call.

Well, yeah, that was my hot take. He flopped for the flagrant, too.

 

[EvanstonCat]

Langborg!

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Langborg showing emotion what has this world come to

 

[AdamOnFirst]

AHH HAHHA HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[EvanstonCat]

Make free throws now!

 

[Just Gary]

You were saying…?

Do I know my cats or what?

 

[zeek55]

Incredible poise at end of regulation and in OT here. Impressive.

 

[stpaulcat]

Hard to believe. What an OT!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

THAT IS A FOUL

 

[EagerFan]

The refs missed that slight foul on Boo's drive, but I think they may decide to call it after review.

Ryan getting it done!

 

[zeek55]

Hard to believe. What an OT!

Yeah about as dominant an OT as possible.

 

[drewjin]

Let's call another retroactive foul!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

This is clearly gonna be a blown call going to FAU

 

[RhabdoWildcat]

Another terrible ref call. These guys suck.

 

[GatoLouco]

I'm surprised they saw the 5 step travel. Man they have made a lot of bad calls.
