@Jajaoly takes the early lead with great under picks on both games nice work man

Jajaoly · April 6, 2024, 3:46am

Thank you @jayreid. That missed FT by CC and then they killed clock before the foul was huge for you. Difference between 2 game lead or 4 game lead. Horrible call on the illegal screen tho, so that evened out. Good stuff bro.

jayreid · April 6, 2024, 4:00am

Yeah I don’t like when refs take the outcome and decide it for the players

jayreid · April 6, 2024, 4:04am

And I had UConn +1.5 should have took pregame line instead of live that point matters but that’s gambling

Not calling the foul decides the outcome just as much as calling it

Ultimately no one has said it wasn’t a foul. Because it obviously was

The only complaint is “you can’t call that there” which is fine if you’d then be ok with not calling the moving screen then as Paige rises to sit the game winner Clark hacks her on the arm causing her to miss but you don’t call that either

Best way to avoid the foul is for Edwards to not be moving on the screen. Then you’re good

But i just hate that in every sport. Where people don’t want the rules of the sport followed just because it’s late on the game

CBs tackling WRs on the end zone with the ball on the air. No penalty. Guy driving to the hoop abd gets his head taken off on the last shot. No call

It’s a tough spot. The refs don’t want to be in the middle of anything but it’s just as bad to not make a call as it is to make it imo
