"This game got stolen out from under them" - I'm not much of a Bayless fan, and this doesn't make a difference today, but I do agree with him that two horrible calls absolutely changed the winner of the game. As he points out, the horrendous FT shooting also killed us, but even with that, Gary was clearly hacked (no call), and UCLA's PG charged against Herb in a fashion they had called a charge on the whole game, and no call again. If they had called that charge, Bama is UP 62-61 with the ball and 14 seconds left. Obviously if we just shoot 65% from the line we don't have to worry about it, but yes I will still be bitter about the BS at the end of the game, just like when Trevor Releford was fouled shooting a three against Creighton, no call.
Also the play with the ball ever so slightly scratching Petty's shorts makes me want to suggest to our athletics department that we go full on tight 1980s short shorts forever so this mess never happens again.
We should be playing Michigan tonight. Dammit.
