texas gets ousted by az

**Bill_Brasky** · 03-21-2011

Observations from someone who is a fan of neither team:

1) Texas fought hard to get back in it and if they had played the first half the same way they played the second, it wouldn't have even been close.

2) The 5 second call was utter bull . I've seen some go 6-7 secs and still get the timeout call instead of the 5 second. That was under 5 and still got called.

3) The and-1 wasn't really a foul but I can see calling it. It was one of those 50/50 where maybe they call a charge sometimes, maybe they call a block sometimes, and sometimes it just goes uncalled. Can't really complain about it either way, and Texas should have been playing better defense on that series anyway.

4) Brown took forever to get the ball down the court after the free throw. He should have been running his ass off to maybe get 2 shots if his missed.

5) Brown was probably fouled on the shot attempt. If they were gonna be calling fouls for Arizona on the other end, they should have called that one. But again, I can see reasons for not calling it.

6) The guy who got the rebound for Texas(I think it was Hamilton? Could be wrong) should have went for the tip instead of the rebound. That being said, he was for sure fouled on the rebound and should have been at the line.

Bottom line, Texas sorta got screwed there, but it wasn't the worst I've seen, and they could have easily prevented it.
