Yep, just an abysmal call. At no point did the dook player have shared possession of the ball. Just glad we had the arrow so it ultimately didn't matter.

One of the worst calls I have ever seen.

1. At no point was it close to being a jump ball. The hands didn't even touch the ball.
2. There were multiple intentional fouls first.
3. It was the end of the game. You can't call that at that point of the game unless it is obvious.

I’ve never been a fan of the way the held ball rule is called. Refs tend to call it as soon as two players are holding the ball at once, or even right after one player rips it out of the hands of the other. I think they should wait at least a couple seconds before calling it and give the players a chance for one of them to come away with it. Call it when it becomes apparent that no player will come away with it absent a physical fight.
 
Just watched the game after being out earlier.

That shot to end the third quarter was just a thing of beauty. Also the women need to teach the men to shoot free throws.

We could go back to the old days when you couldn’t leap onto a player on the floor to contest possession; or, rolling over on the floor with the ball in your possession is traveling.
 
On a different front, why the hell do our women want to play in the Smith Center or whatever the new arena is? Carmichael is so perfect in size for them now and is very nice since the renovations. I dont get wanting crowds of 3k in an 18 or 20k arena. Even the bug games won't come close to filling the men's arena.

I was wondering the same thing - from what I read the offices and practice facilities at Carmichael are not in great shape
