Flagrant 1 on Jones was a total joke. Foul? yes. Flagrant 1 (which gives them possession after too)? Total garbage.
We lost that game in the first five of the second half though.

I was fine with that call, but the travesty in it is that it wouldn’t be called in the same situation on the other end of the floor.
Why can you review a foul call that isn’t called, but you can’t review a goal-tending call that isn’t called?
And it would seem to me that a foul call is way more subjective that shouldn’t be allowed to be reviewed after the fact.

Not being talked about enough of how we missed 3 wide open bunnies off inbounds plays. 2 by IB trying to dunk it when could have laid it in uncontested. Opportunities all over the place tonight. Some a result of officiating and some just our own mistakes
Referees couldn’t call a good game in slow motion! Ever since they went to 3 refs the games are dreadfully called!
This is all very true, and we don't know how it would have affected the game. But that's the difference is all of those plays there was still a ton of time left. What many are pointing out is the timing of that goal tend. With that little of time left, sure things could still go differently, but I bet some analytics guy out there can show just how big of a swing that missed call was with so little time left.
There were more than two. Two dreadful charges called on KU in the first half among them.
Refs suck in every sport at every level. I agree that the goaltending call was a big miss. Would have changed what KU had to do down the stretch. The flagrant was the right call. It was the textbook definitely idiot of what a flagrant foul is. I dont like that definition but it was correct according to it.
I'm guessing they'd use game flow as a reason. Next stoppage of play for a flagrant isn't a big deal normally because the play is whistled dead for a common foul. Goaltending however occurs in the flow of the game. Getting it right should be the most important part but can see why it's a touch different than reviewing a foul for common or flagrant or a 3 pointer vs 2 review. Those have natural breaks in the action built in.
Huh? He elbowed him in the face away from the ball. That is the definition itinerary of a flagrant in today's game. Intent is not part of the call any more.
Except we did make the play to win here. We made a drive that gave USA one point lead, but it was overturned by a blatant goaltend.
You should probably leave the chats for the night. Don't be that guy even though I know you are. Take the gifted win and just stay off here for a few days. None of your points are going to get anything but severe backlash as a KU fan coming in here trying to justify what we all saw tonight. You are really going to come here and defend the crap we saw tonight? Really?
Did you watch the game? The announcers clearly explained the officials determined Jones had "established position" sufficiently enough to *know* the defender could be nearby and not swing his arm.
You're something else, man.
Hahaha here comes KU fan with “you guys got calls too”.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but they didn’t even call a common foul there. Play was stopped for JCL holding his face in the backcourt as KU was bringing the ball up the floor.
