Replay clearly shows that was a terrible call by the refs. SMU got screwed and the guys on TBS are ripping that call!

LOL.....SMU got hosed big time.  Well, UCLA might make the Sweet 16. If so, I'll make a trip down to Houston.

The big XII might be to basketball what the SEC is to football this year. "Best conference" and "facing tough opponents every week" but then don't win in postseason. Big SEC teams with high expectations didn't produce in bowl games this year and now Big XII following suit in basketball

it's off to a good start for sure.

Texas, Iowa State, Baylor & SMU all lose in the tourney's first 6 games. Not a banner day for the state or the league.

Looking at the video & picture Juan posted, I'm thinking that ball would have never touched the rim. Some guys on TBS & ESPN seem to agree with me also but too late now. UCLA gets the win, SMU gets the shaft.

FINAL in OT

Ohio State 75

VCU 72

Shaka Smart, VCU's coach, is many fans' top choice to replace Barnes. Go ahead and add to the list above.

Shaka Smart has 1 more NCAA tournament victory than Barnes in the last 4 years. 

I still think Shaka would be a good hire but I also think there are better choices. This also reinforces my thought on this coaching search......it's not going to be nearly as easy to upgrade over Barnes as many think.

We need to recruit shooters. Can we steal Beilien away from Michigan?
