This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Did they benefit from missed traveling call with 14 sec left by SixShutouts66
Tennessee had just scored a basket with 14.7 seconds left to cut the the Purdue lead to 4 points IIRC. The player inbounding the ball passed the ball to a second player behind the inbound line, which is legal. The second player didn't have a clear pass right away and ran behind the inbound line, which I thought was traveling. If so, I understand refs missing some calls because the game is so fast, but this would be basic rules.
Would have given Tennessee the chance to cut the lead to a single possession with some time left on the clock.
