No they weren't, Jenkins clearly hit the guys arm on the first and the other one was pretty obvious when both guys hit the ground. xlolxI only saw the one reply on the first foul and it looked like he whiffed on it to me, the second one, yea, maybe, it was a dumb foul, the replay was kind of from behind and it didn't look like a foul in real time but he might have grazed the guys leg.

Those foul calls on those threes were weak as hell, particularly the first one, but a pretty good game.
I thought the first one was a foul, the second I had doubts. It seemed like SDSU would get down by 10, make a run and tie it and than go back down by 10.

It seemed like SDSU would get down by 10, make a run and tie it and than go back down by 10.I might try and watch a replay, I missed the first half. I honestly did not see the foul on the first one but I will defer as I didn't have the best angle on the play.

I thought both foul calls were legit in the SDSU game. The 'Jacks simply made crucial mistakes down the stretch. They have a chance next year to make it to the second week.

SFA and Texas Tech has been hotly contested. Could go down to the wire....

Arizona is going down but how many other big programs go down with the? Does the NCAA actually do anything to the premier programs to keep the integrity of the game or is it more about the money?

I have my doubts as the NCAA has shown they are all about the money.

Bucknell is getting physically whipped by Michigan State. They hang around for a while but the last 10 minutes of the 2nd half things have really gotten away from them. The Bison are a good program in the PL but haven't really done much in recent years to make them relevant nationally. They're kind of stuck in Patriot League athletic purgatory.

not quite "last second". there was 3.5 seconds left after the basket was made, which gave TN enough time to get it down the court for a shot attempt.

Queens made some really stupid decisions late in the game. Their All-American had one point and seemed like he was watching paint dry- disinterested and listless. Northern got that five point play after Queen's fouled the three point shooter, who missed the third but then hit a three to tie it up.

He should just step-down now and allow the program to move on. No one is certain that McKie is the answer either. He has no head coaching experience. His #1 qualification at this point is he's a Temple/Chaney legacy.


Temple has decided that Fran Dunphy will coach the men’s basketball team one more year and then be succeeded by assistant coach Aaron McKie, according to a source.

UNC wins the 2018 CIT despite a second-half surge by UIC. The Bears won 76-71.

Fact: The Bears were the last Colorado men's team in all divisions to wrap up its season. (The article on the official athletic website only refers to Division I teams.)

Uh oh. Loyola collapsed as Michigan took a 12-0 run in the middle of the 2nd half. Goodbye Ramblers... the #11 is now 0-4 in Final Fours.

Villanova wins another national title while Temple alums/fans have to suffer another year of Dunphy before we can have hope! I can't stand 'em but Villanova is damn good. Tonight was a coronation for their program and an affirmation of Jay Wright's greatness. The title two years ago was memorable because of "the shot" to win but tonight cemented the Wildcat's greatness. This is one of the 5-6 best teams of the last 20-25 years imo.

It's hard to have a better start to 2018 than having the Eagles win the Super Bowl and Villanova win the NCAA Championship (well, having another Philadelphia Big Five team winning the title, especially St. Joe's, would be better, but I won't complain).

The 76ers are now on the clock. They are a relative long-shot, but I think they are a legitimate dark horse threat for an NBA championship this year.

Wow! Big loss for the Coyotes. I guess losing the coach makes the older players less likely to stay.

Not directly basketball related, but since USIE doesn't have football- Southern Illinois and USIE could split.

Kind of an odd move. They are a much geographic fit for the Big South.

Why would anyone, other than a D2 move-up, choose to join the A-Sun? The conference is a geographic nightmare, and schools generally depart as soon as possible.

Despite all the nice language, I suspect the Big South asked Liberty to leave.

I agree. Notice going there lets them get back into the Big South if they ever drop back to FCS.
