The Cash God

NBA players should call their own fouls and if another player wants to challenge a foul they can gamble one of their own fouls and it goes to review. Solves bad reffing and likely reduces total fouls per game. Usually the player committing the foul or being fouled knows

@CycloneJackC Bingo. Complete joke that Duke got the 1

Arizona wins the hardest conference AND the Big 12 tournament and doesn’t get the overall #1 seed. Now Michigan vs Arizona is a Final Four matchup instead of the National Championship. Two of the best teams on the same side of the bracket. Disservice

The game

@AndrewDBailey The worst part is his face of shock after. Not only did he commit a blatant push off, extending his entire arm, but he also hooked the defenders arm before that. @ACFresh21 what do you think about this one ball knower? Tell your pal he’s a sad sad foul baiter

I understand SGA’s frustration here, because he has 10-15 more obvious pushoffs per game that aren’t called fouls.

When the slate locks and you realize you submitted 150 blank lineups again

@ChuckFBass He must be thinking the Vikings smashed that draft

The wheel is spinning, but the hamster's dead

@game7__ @Hoopss Dude that was way too long

It's rare that sports fans agree on anything. But everyone seems to be in agreement today: Duke got robbed this weekend. Dan Hurley and UConn have been flagrantly ignoring the rules for the entirety of the NCAA Tournament. Sunday was no exception. There were still 0.4 seconds on the clock. The game was live. Dan Hurley walked toward a referee on the sideline. He got in the official’s face. Then he pressed his forehead directly into the ref’s forehead. SI called it a “menacing forehead tap.” No technical foul was called. If it had been, Duke shoots two free throws. Down one. With an 86% free throw shooter at the line. Here's what actually happened and why this should be a much bigger story than it is. Braylon Mullins hit a 35-foot three to give UConn a 73-72 lead with 0.4 seconds left. It was the shot of the tournament. Nobody is disputing that. But in the seconds after the shot, Hurley walked toward a referee, got in his face, and pressed his forehead directly into the official's forehead. Sports Illustrated described it as a "menacing forehead tap." The clock still showed 0.4 seconds. The game was not over. A technical foul on a head coach for making contact with an official during a live ball is one of the easiest calls in basketball. There is no gray area. Contact with a game official is a technical. If it's called, Duke's Isaiah Evans steps to the free throw line, trailing 73-72. He shot 86% from the stripe this season. Makes both? Duke wins 74-73. Makes one? Overtime. That wasn't the only violation. When Mullins' shot went in, UConn bench players ran onto the court to celebrate before the game was over. They caught themselves and ran back, but they had already entered the playing area during a live ball. Duke's radio announcers immediately called for a technical. That wasn't called either. Two separate technical foul violations. Zero calls. In the span of 0.4 seconds. And here's what makes the Hurley part impossible to ignore. Three weeks ago, on March 7, Hurley was ejected from UConn's game at Marquette in the final second for getting in a referee's face. He was chest-to-shoulder with the official. Double technical. Ejected. The Big East fined him $25,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct. In the Sweet 16 against Michigan State on March 27, Hurley challenged an out-of-bounds call, got it overturned, and then sarcastically offered his glasses to the ref who got it wrong. Lip readers caught him asking about Lasik. Nothing was called. Two days later against Duke, Hurley was officially "warned" during the game for leaving his coach's box. Told to stay put. Then after the buzzer beater, he went forehead-to-forehead with a ref. Ejected and fined $25,000 at Marquette. Taunted a ref to his face at Michigan State with no consequences. Warned during the Duke game for leaving his coach's box. Then physical contact with a referee in the biggest moment of the tournament. The full breakdown of every missed call and what would have happened if any of them were made is here: itsgame7.com/news/duke-got-… UConn came back from 19 down. Mullins hit one of the greatest shots in tournament history. That part was earned. But two technical foul violations in 0.4 seconds, and neither one called, on a coach who was ejected for the same thing three weeks ago? That's not intensity. That's a pattern. And last night, it changed the outcome of a game.

@BrickCenter_ @ACFresh21 what are your thoughts on this one? I know you see these. You don’t have enough followers to not

Completely natural shooting form by SGA here

@FDSportsbook @FanDuel He should be fired

How long it took to win their first National Championship: 🏀 John Wooden: 18 years 🏀 Coach K: 16 years 🏀 Dean Smith: 21 years 🏀 Roy Williams: 17 years 🏀 Bob Knight: 11 years 🏀 Jim Calhoun: 27 years 🏀 Tom Izzo: 5 years 🏀 Dan Hurley: 13 years Jon Scheyer has time.

@DrJesseMorse @adamlevitan Holy fuck levitan and doc chopping it up. Never thought I’d see the day

When you factor in the playoffs, it was actually 482 touches. If you look at the data for 400+ touches, it’s not pretty the year after. theinjuryexpertz.com/should-we-cons… Yes I think the O line struggled and Patullo definitely played a role but I think everyone expected him to regress / struggle.

Going to get exhausted by the Christian McCaffrey "curse of 400 touches" talk. 1. It's a huge outlier for any RB to stay healthy for massive volume. 2. Using arbitrary cutoffs for that volume number is silly. 3. Our expectation should be that any player touching the ball that much will get hurt. 4. It's not a "curse" or a surprise when any workhorse gets hurt the following season. The surprise, the outlier, was that they sustained health to achieve the insane season in the first place.

@dmcroley @JoeyPigskins Regular season NBA for sure but not the playoffs

NCAA tournament basketball is so much better of a product than NBA basketball is, it’s not even close.

@maxtoscano1 @Kepert14 @ikenyonFB Lmao buddy. I don’t think it should get called a tech in that spot but that is not what happened

@Kepert14 @ikenyonFB He didn’t initiate contact! It was an accident by the ref

It would have ruined the moment, but how is this not a technical?

And guess who profited huge on the last 2?

@bordersroad @DK_Assist @DraftKings I too have a very large balance on DK

Hey guys I need some help. The hacker was able to get my DK account blocked and now I have lost all abilty to communicate with @DK_Assist @DraftKings . I have a large sum of money on there. The wont confirm my balance and wont give me access. I need fast legal help to take action. Any advice and sharing will be helpful

@YoungBooze69 @BarstoolBigCat He most certainly does

Pls watch top left of this video, Hurley does not head butt a referee 😂😂😂

Made a celebratory pizza last night for the Duke loss + the UConn bet that just brought me way into the green on the tourney

Duke players sleeping through this one
