***OFFICIAL: IOWA STATE vs. OSU GAME(DAY) THREAD!***

Tim Floyd told NO foul fred that Tim always calls for the foul because its way too easy to make a three point shot.
Yeah, the charge call was not good, but this is not on the refs in the slightest. We had it, let it slip away, played a hell of a game to even make it interesting at the end, without our best defender. It was a great season, a lot of bounces that didn't go our way, some that did. Only one team gets to win their last game of the season.

Maybe contest Craft sooner, don't let him run down the entire clock, but don't give him points at the FT line.
He's not a 3 point shooter. That may have been the safest shot they could take from our standpoint.
Course, then he turned into Dr. Death.

Respectfully I disagree. I told my wife on the inbounds that I thought we'd foul to keep them from draining a buzzer-beater. They hit a buzzer-beater and we have no chance to tie or win. We give them 2 and put he ball in our court and I like our chances much better.
Pretty sure it's just fans being tired of getting destroyed with no time on the clock.
I know OT would be better then a loss - but man that **** with late 3s was insane against us this year.
I am now of the opinion that we are too classy to get beyond this. All the close losses this year are a function of us not being respected by the referees when it really counts. This entire finish hinged on the white guy actually getting a charge call.....are freaking kidding me?!?!?!?!
We will lose close games until this dynamic changes.

Agreed, only thing they could have done different is get tighter on Craft. It was obvious he was taking the shot. He waved a guy away with 7 seconds left which means he is taking the shot.
Game of inches....
We needed Ohio St to be cold from the 3 point line. That didn't happen.
Needed to make most of our freethrows...Didn't happen
Couldn't miss bunnies.....Missed at least 3-4
Could turn the ball over a bunch....Way to many
Not to mention our best defender and leader of the team didn't play the 2nd half.
We have a chance to pull in a rebound and take the last shot. It goes off us (called) and then we get beat on a buzzer beater. Which has happend a bunch of other times this year.

The announcers had it wrong. The rule for the restricted arc is shown here (probably other links too):
NCAA Women's Basketball Central Hub - Rules, Interpretations and Clarifications - Restricted Area Arc, Restricted Area and Secondary Defender
"A secondary defender is considered to be in the restricted area when any part of either foot is in or above this area."
Plus Barkley also gives this interpretation as the block.

It was Aaron Craft. If we let anyone take the three pointer, it's him. I'm fine with him taking that shot.
