@alexinman Wasn’t Sirmons not supposed to advance after his supposed gaffe?

I don’t obsess over the names, personalities, primary conferences, haircuts, or bicep size. They’re all damn good officials. You cannot fake your way to the Final Four.

@dirkchatelain No surprise…Of course you said that you idiot.

Just as everyone suspected, Duke’s biggest challenge en route to the Final Four was Siena.

@martymush Barstool, of course.

Lmaoo we're such a miss match for UConn it's crazy almost feel bad for them

@alexinman You have no clue how this works do you?

Doug Sirmons, Brian O’Connell, and Earl Walton not advancing to Elite 8 after their mistake in Iowa-Nebraska game must feel odd to those who say there’s no accountability. There is accountability, there always has been whether we see it or not. They made a mistake and pay for it.

@jayslive1878 So, so many things…From Cotton Eyed Joe and the crap music, stale promos, the empty student section over break, concessions have gone downhill, the new ribbon board underutilized because of sponsors…(the list is long.

@big_suaz @USC1620 Jack Mitchell can never be taken seriously. Every single game it’s the same tired shtick. That @USC1620 continues to roll that buffoon out is an embarrassment to the station.

@USC1620 Jack Mitchell is the biggest pussy and fraud that has ever existed. Bitch was complaining from the start about officiating like he does every game. They lost cuz they settled for 3s. He is they dumbest mutant that has ever been given a microphone

@ColeySchuler @NickBahe Interesting…and an obvious miscommunication somewhere in the NU huddle during the timeout.

@ryanhandrews @NickBahe Mast and Frager were both on the floor before the timeout. Buyuktuncel was on the bench prior to TO, and Fred waved him to check in at the TO. Then both Mast and Frager were on the sideline when ball was put in play. Not sure who Berke checked in for. Tough one all around.

Inexcusable & failure on a lot of levels to only have 4 players on the floor, but technically the officials are supposed to count 5 players on each team before beginning play. It is just like if you have 6 players on the floor.

@NickBahe My only question is was Mast in the game before the timeout or was he an incoming substitution? If he was in the game then he should have been on the floor well before play continued, If he was a substitute, which it looks like from the tape, then he was way too late checking in

Let me clarify. Tryin 2 get info from official contact. You can play w/4 guys on floor, you can't play w/6. Ref's are supposed to count 5. But refs dont have to stop play w/4 guys on floor. You would hope a ref would maybe catch it, but not on them. Wild this is even a discussion

@NickBahe This is correct. The officials are not responsible for not enough players on the floor. They are responsible for too many players. Preventative officiating could have helped NU but ultimately this is on Hoiberg and not the officiating crew.

@NickBahe And if this prominent official you’re referring to is Higgins, then he’s throwing one of his best officials in Sirmons under the bus here.

@NickBahe If Mast was trying to check in as it appears, it was too late way too late after the first horn. This is ultimately on the Nebraska bench, also NU had a timeout to burn as well in this situation.

@RealBrianBlade @ByJonWalker Look what up? They’re only responsible for too many players on the floor not too few.

@ryanhandrews @ByJonWalker That is true. Look it up

Okay but I’m actually so curious as to how Nebraska ended up with only four players on the floor at the end. Such a silly, crucial mistake at the worst of times. But a tip of the cap for the best season in school history.

@RealBrianBlade @ByJonWalker That’s not true

@ByJonWalker Refs are t suppose to allow the game to continue when a team only has 4 on the floor unless they have no more players.

@GarySharp1620 Charge O’Connell…Oh boy.

Officials: Big East flavor. Doug Sirmons, Brian O'Connell, Earl Walton.

@Grateful__Joe @taliaontv

@Grateful__Joe @taliaontv Nope and of course soft UF fan.

This is 100% worse than a breakup maybe even a divorce

@tsnmike The hair.

I tried to hold my tongue, but how does Brian O'Connell get games in this deal?

@HoopieHighway @TravisCreates @KentuckyNet Ashland is not in the Omaha “metro” area btw and is not in anyway ISU country. Grasping at straws.

@TravisCreates @KentuckyNet Yea this post is wrong but not too far off on this but he’s from Omaha council bluffs metro, and refs b12 an mvc games… he should not be reffing a “neutral” ncaa tournament game anyone should at least admit that.

Iowa State has never lost a game with Kipp Kissinger officiating Truly unclear why the NCAA consistently assigns the Iowa-raised kid to officiate his hometown team
