The Troy athletics website described the play like this:

"Inbounding at center-court, A&M put the ball into Destiny Pitts hands. The guard clearly established possession in the front court and before she desperately retreated into the back court. Instead of ruling a back court violation with just under five ticks to play, the officials instead deemed that Pitts was fouled."

Well that's a bunch of bull**** lol. We got hosed on some calls also. We were ahead at the time so I'm not sure why they think that lost the game for them. Every analyst that has reviewed the play has stated it wasn't an over and back. So who knows. But I would feel hosed too if it had happened to us so I get it.

Nah. It started at the end of the first half and accelerated in the 3rd but they were going full Craig Way everytime Troy had a posession and score. I get that blowouts are not fun but they were both outright pulling for Troy.

I guess most here think it is the announcers' job to remain stoic and unexcited when a 15 seed in women's BB is making a serious bid to pull the biggest upset in women's basketball history.

sheesh, grow up. The announcers are supposed to bring added excitement and watchability to the game, even if it pisses off some of one team's fans.

BINGO

I personally didn't think they were that bad. Have to be honest, though, I was more concerned with the game than anything they were saying. I think my tunnel vision and the stress of the moment canceled out their voices lol!

Troy had a wide open 3 from the corner with 21 seconds left and air-balled it, and they gave up layups to Nixon and Wilson in the last couple of minutes.

Quotes from the two coaches.

Troy's Coach
"It just looked like she touched it and it went backcourt. It just looked very evident that that happened," Rigby said. "We were seeing if we could get the call corrected, but that's just not the way it went. We had all the momentum at that point. If we would have gotten that call, I don't think there's any way we would have lost the game. I don't think the will of my players would have allowed us to lose."

Okay coach. They seem to forget they were still down and Ags were up.

Gary Blair
"I didn't know if we had control of it," he said. "I think that's why [the referee] didn't call it. But I cannot say for sure. If she did have control of it, it was an over-and-back. If she didn't have control of it, it was a good call."

"They had an open 3 to go ahead, and they didn't make it," he said of Troy's miss from behind the arc with 19 seconds left. "That's life sometimes. But the officials overall, I thought they did a pretty good job. It wasn't that, it was just a hard-nosed ball game."

Yes it would have been great for the Ags to have beaten them in a blow out but as mush as Troy kept coming, our Ags made shots in response.

Blatantly false,as clearly indicated by video replay. I doubt we have heard the last of this. Troy needs to act quickly to recover its credibility. JMO
