The Biggest thing I loved from the UT-A&M Game Last Night [Archive]

I think the best thing about the game last night besides the UT win was how much respect these two teams have for each other.

Alot of trash talk goes on on boards between fans, but it so obvious these two teams like each other, and IMO I will take a good clean great game between rivals over bitterness and fighting anyday

When I was in HS in Forney our main rival was Crandall yet I was still friends with this off the field in most cases. I am still friends with some of them now and I even work in Crandall now!

I agree. It was great sportsmanship from both sides. From the post game interviews that I have read, they've had nothing but postive things to say about the other team. Good to see.

I'm not an aggie or a horn, but I did think the calls were slanted towards the Horns. At the end, Law drove the lane and didn't get the call. Late, Durant did go to the line on a blocking by Pompey that could have been an charge.

That was a great game.

I think alot of that was Texas going inside more than A&M..Plus that is the nature of the game..A&M spent most of the OTs behind

Straight from the 2007 NCAA Rulebook:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rule 4.26.6
An intentional foul shall be a personal foul that, on the basis of an official's observation of the act, may be purposeful or reactionary and is not based solely on the severity of the act. Examples include, but are not limited to:
a. Causing excessive, non-flagrant contact with an opponent while playing the ball;
b. Contact which is not a legitimate attempt to play the ball or player specifically designed to stop or keep the clock from starting;
c. Pushing or holding a player from behind to prevent a score;
d. Fouling a player clearly away from the ball who is not directly involved with the play, specifically designed to stop or keep the clock from starting; and
e. Contact with a player making a throw-in.

It was a foul, and he was in the act of a shot, so they screwed up twice by not calling the intentional or not calling it a foul on the shot. Either call would have been appropriate and correct, and it is the job of the officials to call the game the right way at all times, not matter what.

but he clearly reached as far as he could to pull on the jersey to stop him from shooting.. if it woulda been the aggies that did it then yeah they need to have it called. Bottom Line is intentional foul is an intentional foul. yeah it didnt get called but it shoulda been, and the way I see it NOMATTER WHAT TEAM committed the foul it shoulda been called! But it wasnt and we lost by 2 points to Texas. Suck it up guys, swallow it and look ahead to the Missouri game

was it a foul? Yes. Could it have been called intentional? Yes. Will it? No. Why? Because they passed on the first hack and when they didn't blow the whistle, Texas was forced to do something to get them to blow their whistles. This is a philosophy in officiating where you do not penalize a team with an intentional foul when they already had fouled and you or your partners passed on it.

Also REMEBER just like the last foul against Durant when no time went off the clock on the in bound pass. That could be called same as well..but was not

The game should be called the right way at all times. All I'm saying is that I would have felt a lot more comfortable with Acie Law taking the three free throws that he should have been given than having to take a chance on throwing up a crap shot with the hopes of getting a put-back. It might not have changed the game, but the right call was not made in a situation that could have very well decided the outcome. As I said before, the game should be called the right way at all times, you're just looking at it on one side because it came out the way you wanted. If I'm going to take a balanced view at it, I would hope you do the same, because I should naturally have a much larger bias than you do as I attend A&M.

I agree. If it was texas that was down and we intentionally fouled him and it wasnt called I would agree with any UT person on here that said it shoulda been called right. I wont go as far to say.. it cost A&M the game and I wouldnt agree if the shoes were on the other foot (as in it woulda cost Texas the game) To me great teams like UT and A&M should be able to over come that kinda screw up,

Well, if you had played organized basketball in high school, then you would realize that he is part of the play, and players do use their hands to prevent players from receiving the ball and it is natural tendency to reach out and grab a player or push or use their body to keep them from getting the ball freely.

They didn't need to foul, they needed to take a chance on a steal. Apparently you didn't see how pissed Gillespie was when he gave Pompey the "what the hell were you thinking" look.

The one thing that cost A&M the game, is the number of point blank shots they missed. Should an intentional foul been called on the Law play, yes. But if you call that one, you have to call the one on the inbounds play. Great game played by 2 good teams. Maybe they will meet up one more time in the Big 12 Tourney.

Also wanted to point out that it was one of the best basketball games i've seen in a long time. It had my heart racing from the very beginning to the very end. I just wish that i would have been able to sit down and watch the entire thing. Law is a tremendous player and Mr. Clutch. There is always that one guy for the other team that keeps hitting the shots that they need but you dont want them to. And he did it time after time.

Good game, good job Horns, Ags, you played a great game, and you still have that last win to hold over our heads. So lets just wait til baseball.

"what if" ColtMcCoy didn't get knocked the Front door out and didn't get put out of the game? I am sure you would be willing to say the horns would have won, right?

What if, the intentional foul is called, Acie hits both free throws and inbounds the ball and gets hacked and goes back to the line and hits both to get the lead?

What if the horns realize that it took them 2OT and 3 A&M starters to be fouled out in order for them to win by 2 on their home court?:clap:

All I'm trying to say is that there were calls that went both ways. Quit trying to act like there was some sort of conspiracy against the Aggies.

Oh, and if Acie had been injured during the game on a cheap shot (like colt) then you would have an argument.

LOL! The officiating has nothing to do with the game when it is a 30-40 point game. Anytime that there are 30-40 fouls in a game the officiating has something to do with the outcome. Good, Bad, take your pick.

Back to that cheap shot fallacy again? You 'Horns never give up do you? It's easy to not have played in a football game for five, ten, fifteen, or more years and call that a cheap shot when you haven't been out there and experienced anything associated with the game except for watching it and not looking at the big picture, just what the TV edits it out to look like.

Funk-D-Fied really classy to try to take away from Texas win. Is Texas suppose to be ashamed of their victory because A&M players fouled out. The calls atthe end of the game are judgement calls. If you look at any close basketball game your going to be able to see where refs made questionable causes its part of the game no refs perfect. Could that have been called an intentional on Acie Yes should it have been probably not imo... Both teams got calls all night it wasn't one sided. Like said early the over the back in the fist overtime. Or the major charge on Donald Sloan when Kavalaskius sp? hit the 3 in the second overtime. Some calls Durant got were ticky tack but all in all it was pretty well even. You can't look at foul count and FTAs bc those numbers can be skewd by the fact of one team taking it to the basket more and end of game fouling. Both teams played great Texas was 2 points better on this night. A&M IMO as much as i hate to say it is a better team but all that matters is who is the best team on a given night and that was Texas last night. Great game both teams Aggies nothing to be ashamed of yall fought like hell and played great but just came up a little short. Texas great win for your resume lets keep it going saturday against Kansas and get a share of this Big 12 title

see for yourself incase you forgot.. That's not the call I'm talking about. How about the one 3-4 seconds after the whistle as Colt was already heading towards the sideline.:rolleyes:

That wasn't three or four seconds. If you're going to make an assertion about something, make sure that it's factual.

WOW this thread has turned into exactly what I was trying not to do.

We go from saying how much these two teams respect and like each other to the football game and late/or not late hits

For both sides..THAT IS OVER LET IT REST

oh my God we are talking football on a BASKETBALL thread during March madness. I agree with the original intent of the thread. I was treated well in Austin by most people. There was one Dad that got in my face, but when I told him he was being a great example for his kid he left me alone. Most everyone there was very complimentary of the team.
I will say the horns have really grown up and are playing some excellent ball. To be perfectly honest, I dont even know if Durant is the most important part of his own team. I think that might go to AJ Abrams. Dont get me wrong, Durant is probably the best player in the country. I am just saying that texas wins on the backs of their guards. Durant puts up crazy numbers, but when Abrams is on fire, much like overtime last night, the horns win. JMHO They are really good right now. I will definitely be pulling for them at Phog Allen.

come on let it rest, the first hit was LATE, dirty and he was ejected. It was 2.76 seconds after the play was over.

Did you watch that off of the feed off of ABC or something and time it, because I'm calling crap on that one.
