Agreed, but at that point there were bodies being thrown around everywhere, that was a crazy sequence of events leading up to it and the refs let them play the whole time...

And like was said, it should never have even come that...

maybe it shouldn't have come to that, but there is still no excuse not to call that foul. of course, if the refs had been calling the game right the entire time, oden would have fouled out with 5 minutes left anyways.

Bodies were flying around when they were going for the rebound. Then after someone had possession of it and Oden shoved him hard with both hands the same way you see people who are trying to pick a fight. Didn't even aim or look near the ball and was obviously just taking out his frustration at sucking all game.

Sean Miller is a phenominal coach, they are a team that is very experienced made up of Jrs and Srs, they have great experience and X has always seemed to play well in the NCAA's...

When Doellman and Cage were freshman they went to the elite 8 under Thad Matta...

Oden is touching the ball during the "shove." You should probably watch the video again.

A team is the players and coaches, right? So, without Matta, they have done nothing "great."

I understand that Oden did. However, Xavier had every opportunity to put that game away...and did not.

Therefore, blaming the refs is simply a way to try and rationalize their poor play down the stretch.

I don't know, I see it as an intentional foul that went uncalled and could have changed the game and tournament drastically. Refs should always make that call and if it was one of our Vols instead of King Oden, they would have been ejected from the game.

Either way what you said was that you thought they were not that great...it came off to me that you thought they weren't even good...
