Interesting perspective. 

Stanford player inexplicably throws ball to Louisville for buzzer-beater in ACC tournament

I disagree with this analysis, base upon the close up replays that were broadcast just after the buzzer, it was clear that no specific player had complete control of the ball needed to make a pass.  Okpara did have for a brief second both hands on the ball but two different Louisville players were grabbing at the ball at the same time and in turn grabbing Okpara's arms.

Actually, I forgot the :).  Apologies.

For those of you who are not paranoid enough yet, think this over. Stanford is playing in the ACC. They have no chance of going to the NCAA tournament. Louisville has a pretty good chance of going to the tournament. But their chances would be severely diminished by losing to Stanford. Draw your own conclusions.

I'm all for drumming up paranoia, but feel like that's a reach. Louisville is the #13 ranked team in the country and a lock to make the tourney, even with a loss to Stanford.

We've all seen games that were officiated way worse than this one. FT's were only 18 to 12. No ref makes that call on Okpara at the end, foul or not.

Very happy with the mens team this year. Met/exceeded my expectations. I've always been a Kyle Smith fan - he does great even though he's never had much. Let's just hope we get to find out what he can do when he has more.

Agree Louisvilke is a lock. But a loss to Stanford would have given them a lower seed.
