I've come across a few articles that talk about Bernard from UCLA missing a crucial free throw in the closing seconds of that game, which is fair and matters. At the same time, I would like to see a little follow-up that the foul call that sent Bernard to the line should've never been called in the first place, especially at that stage of the game.

Why would they ruin the story like that? It's irrelevant to the story that they are telling - a story about one tiny bounce - a flip-of-the-coin, so-to-speak - changing everything.
If you want to tell a story about the quality of Pac-12 officiating . . . well, you probably won't be hired by any sports networks. Here's the thing about officiating: no one cares about the bad calls that happen to the other teams. Which is why announcers and pundits always downplay it (if they mention it at all). It's not to cover up for the leagues - it's because it's bad television.

Love the mention of scandals at some "other" schools in the PAC.

Completely agree. Phantom call. It makes for a better story if you don't include that opinion. 😀 |

That and 3 seconds is an impossible amount of time to inbound and shoot. you can even put the ball on the ground with 3 seconds if you have too. Acting like it was 0.3 seconds on the clock here |

Moronic Statesman Journal headlined our article as "Oregon" not "Oregon State", respect is hard earned.

Publicly critiquing refs can be dangerous to your livelihood. No one does it. They all talk around it. Everyone knows that bad calls happen. It’s part of the game. They accept that and move on. You have to beat the refs, too. |

Good article....the Beavs have "cut in" big time! I like that he admits the Beavs have "no-doubt better" than all of their opponents in the tourney.

The Statesman hasn’t been a local paper for a while. A couple of local reporters but most content is from USA Today or AP. That headline was probably written back east by the weekend crew. They probably still don’t know they screwed it up. |
