Good win for the Lake Show. Now if you havent been watching, a crazy last couple of minutes between Bama/Vandy.
on TNT. Lakers/Celtics kick it off, then Dallas and Denver right after.

Vandy hangs on to win after both teams were going back and forth with 1 point lead exchanges. Anthony Grant about blew his top at Tom Higgins for not calling a foul with 7 seconds left, but the replay looks like it was the right call and Green just lost control of the ball out of bounds going to the hoop.

Not the right call IMO, Green didnt step out of bounds.

Never got your pic to load, but the one angle they showed on replay looked like that could be questionable. The problem was, Grant wasn't arguing that. He was complaining he was being fouled, and there wasn't much contact at all. I was surprised they ran a play for Green to be isolated and drive the baseline from the 3pt line anyway. That just doesn't seem like his strong suit.

Ill try to upload it on another site, but it clearly shows that Green was not out of bounds.
I thought he was fouled watching the replay, tons of contact. But that wasnt as bad as calling him out when it wasnt even that close.

The TVs camera angle sucked for the baseline on the one replay they showed, and was obstructed a little by one of the players on Bamas bench to show how bad the camera angle was. It looked like though there was a possibility that Green was still in bounds unless the ball had bounced out or something. There was contact, I wont deny that, but I didn't think there was enough to get the call in that situation. It wasn't what caused Green to lose control of the ball.

and yeah there wasnt much contact, but enough to change Greens path. The contact didnt cause Green to lose the ball but it did change his path.
Oh well, Bamas only lost two SEC games and still in charge in the West. But dang its a tough one to lose when you have a shot to beat a top 25 conference foe in their house.

I wish that picture was back just a little bit further when he first put his foot down, instead of when he was pivoting back up toward the basket. His intial step would have possibly contacted the line.

but the call was not made at that point or even the point in the picture, it was called slightly after the picture shows, which I take to mean that they said he stepped out of bounds then, where the picture shows. I didnt see clear pic of where you are talking about, because like you said the angles are freakin terrible.
They like to isolate Green and let him drive, because most of the time his defender is another big. Green has very quick feet and a low dribble, they like to let him make moves because he can usually beat bigger defenders off the dribble.
The phantom call on the three was BS as well, I didnt see any contact whatsoever yet he got 3 FTs.
