Wildcats played great. Jim Burr should be the one without a job very soon. He was the official who made the no call on Kemba's three vs UT that was a second after the buzzer, blew the St Johns/Rutgers game, and now this:

Granted, if UT ever played with any intelligence they wouldn't find themselves on the wrong end of things like this, but dude is still awful.

leemajors:

You cannot call a timeout after the 4th second has been counted. The ref made the right call.

It looked like he was counting quick, I'll give you that. But the rule is no timeouts after the 4th second has been counted.
Yeah I read that too somewhere.

Not Barnes fault... horrible call, then horrible no call. Robbed. He still sucks as a coach though so toss his ass.

Huh???

I might be wrong about that actually. Was just told that the announcer fucked that up and that rule doesn't exist. Not sure who is right. If that's not the case and you can call the timeout at any point, then the ref certainly fucked up big time.

I'm wrong. The announcer on TV was incorrect and apologized per his twitter:

My earlier tweet was incorrect. A player can call a time out up until the ref counts to five. Rule changed several years ago. Apologies.

So, yeah. I understand why texas is pissed. That ref looked like he was in a hurry to get to 5 seconds.

It was a tough game to lose. Neither team deserved the loss. Will say that there were plenty of touch fouls in favor of Texas that helped get them back into the game, so I think it all balances out. Before the in-bounds, I had cursed UA's horrible FT shooting for the loss, yet again. I'm glad they took advantage of their rare second opportunity.

Glad to see Gary Johnson playing. Kid had some tough breaks. Was bitter when he initially picked Texas over Arizona in 2007. Sucked. Probably best decision for him, though, with all the issues he's gone through (heart condition).

I've been critical of Barnes. Don't think this loss is on him. He adjusted his gameplan three times until it worked. His defense harassed Williams all night. Solid job managing foul trouble as well.

I didn't understand that rule either, it makes sense now that it actually doesn't exist. I see players desperately call for a timeout right before the 5 all the time.

I think this was the same crew that messed up a Big East Tournament game so they might have just been paniced.

Not the entire crew, but yes to the crew chief in today's game being a part of that game.

Dick Cartmell, the guy that called the 5 seconds violation, is actually a Pac-10 ref and would not be doing big east games.

Oh well... The calls may or may not have been blown, but Texas sucked today anyway. They really shouldn't be complaining. They looked lost for most of the game which is exactly how they looked against Nebraska and Colorado which they ironically won't have to see again.

‎81-60 (wait until we play in CS!) 69-49 (wait until we play in the Big 12 tournament!). 70-58 (whoop! UT didn't get to the final four!) this confirms my suspicion that aggies love to see UT fail more than actually doing well themselves.

Holy shit! When the fuck did that happen?

Thank God for JCB. Hopefully he gets a lot more playing time (aka he starts) next year to show that he can do this on a regular basis.

Did the ref fuck up? Yes. Is it the reason Texas lost the game? Fuck no.

Subs having career games. Texas' lack of offense in the first half. Jordan calling a timeout after a rebound up 2 with 12 seconds left. JCB being the only option on the inbounds where the 5 second call occured. JCB being a little slow up the court at the end of the game. Barnes, while a great recruiter and first half of the season coach, needs to be on the hot seat.

That being said, if JH and TT decide to stay maybe the talent gap will be so large that Barnes can't fuck it up. Maybe.

edit: Forgot about JH's matador defense on UA's last offensive play. Dude, if you know you can't make it for the charge, get the fuck out of the way or actually foul the guy. Two bone headed plays in a row for him that probably cost Texas the game. Of course, he kept them in it in the first half. It really is feast or famine with him.

I hate UT and the overwhelming majority of their fans, but they got fucked on that call.

Let's not forget that if they give up the basket after that turnover they go to overtime. The most retarded attempt to draw a charge ever is what got them knocked out.

JH cost them that game IMO. Solo Hill has been an inconsistent disappointment this year but whenever UA needed a bucket to kill UT's momentum it was "Let Solomon Hill go to work on Hamilton". His defense was terrible and gave UA a scoring option not named Derrick Williams.

This. Hill absolutely raped JH. You could tell it was unusual for him to have that kind of an impact on the game from the way Kerr was jackin' it on the sidelines.

Officiating aside, I wasn't that upset because Texas played stupid basketball throughout and didn't deserve to win. You can't turn the ball over like that and expect to win in the tournament. Tristan Thompson couldn't buy a bucket and got a lesson as to why another year in college will serve him well. UT wasn't beating Duke in the next round anyway. Coach K outclasses Barnes every time they match up and his team is much more efficient.

The fact that Richard Cartmell and his crew had a hand in what went down is frustrating, though. Terrible...terrible timing on the five-second call. The guy has repeatedly f'ed up this season and continues to be put on the floor. He's the same guy that didn't waive off the Kemba Walker three-pointer when Texas played UConn earlier in the year costing them that game. Not to mention his questionable calls in the Big East tourney. I'll take solace in the fact that UT will be a lot of fun to watch next season if both Hamilton and Thompson come back with the addition of Myck Kabongo.

Yes, your obsession. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the A&M school song/chant include a reference to UT? Its funny to me that Oklahoma is considered our rivals yet the Aggies are obsessed with with us even though they're just an afterthought. Its analogous to Aggies saying "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!"

Lol aggy fan denying their obsession with UT is about as delusional as holocaust deniers.

Your fucking fight song spends more time dissing UT than it does instilling school spirit. Penis envy over UT is part of the very fiber of being a faithful Ag

Doesn't take much to be hypocritical. Besides, most "fans" don't know the words to Texas Fight. Although it sounds better if you just repeat "Aggy fucks sheep" for the entire thing.

I hate UT and A&M's animosity. A&M does act like spoiled little siblings a lot of the time, but UT doesn't help by acting like the douchebag older brother who bullies his sibling around. I went to A&M and my brother went to UT so I respect both schools.
