My tin hat is always within arms reach so this take shouldn't be a surprise. The NCAA did not want UT in the final 4. The NCAA wants it's dream match up of UConn vs Purdue. The NCAA is going to get that match up no matter what. There is no way the NCAA and their zebra crews will allow a NC St vs bama matchup next Monday night. If the games get too close too late, the officials will make the moves to ensure the preordained outcome. You can't see a game called like ours and not believe the fix was in. There was zero and I mean ZERO chance the University of Tennessee and their fan base and administration was going to be allowed to partake in the final 4 of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. The elite 8 is and was always going to be our ceiling this year.I don't think that's the solution, though I do think there should have been an adjustment to how Edey has been officiated. It's simply not good for your sport if the team with the tallest and biggest guy on the court always wins. It seems like an exploit and can't be good for long term vieweship if the sport can be so easily hacked as to just find the biggest and heaviest player.
For a start though, I think the refs should have officiated him tighter. Call 3 second violations. Just as easy as it is for someone to swipe his arm and be called for a foul when going for a ball out of reach, Edey should have been called for his elbows hitting other player, even if it was inadvertant.

Yeah, and guys who shoot really good from 3 pt range should only get 2 pts, and good FT shooters should only get 1 point. In fact teams that are really good, we should subtract 5 points to make it fair. SMH.Too easy for those with the ability to make them. Or raise the goal another 2-3 ft. That would level the playing field a little and give all shooters more credit.

Hes right it's all about ratings views ads and contracts and that's why you wouldn't see a team like Southern Texas make a deep deep run, just enough for views until it stops benefit the market revenueYou're right, you are a crazy conspiracy theorist. This is so far beyond dumb I don't even have a word for it.
