I get it. It's hard to stay close win a game where the opponent is shooting close to 60% from the three-point line. We made adjustments at half and put an end to that. But we just couldn't make fundamental shots right under the basket. It's a different 2nd half if we could make a few shots for once.

Did you see the different angle. There was a camera angle from the baseline that showed he didn't double pump that was him getting hit on the shooting elbow.

I saw the same thing.

The last shot they showed of the play from a different angle showed  they solidly hit Burke on the shooting elbow.

Shooting elbow or left elbow? Defender was on Burke's left side.

Well at least the women have a decent team this year!!

 

[Huskerpapa]

Ughh.  Bad luck, a few questionable calls and we still struggle at the free throw line.

Good point. It was his left elbow. But that pushed his guide hand through the ball hence the shot hit going basically straight up in the air 

[hhcmatt]

Clearly hit

It's a tough call. I saw the same, but it was also a little weak when you watch it on replay. I can see how the refs would let that one go. I'm more upset about not making the easy buckets down low (that would've gotten us tied or up a basket or two) than this one that could've tied the game.

[hhcmatt]

You can see Spencer's forearm ricochet off of Burke's elbow

 

 

[Dean Smith]

We deserved three free throws at the end. Now whether we make all three is seriously doubtful, but even if he doesn’t we get the ball one more time only down the one possession.

Another suckie call was the charge against Thor maybe when Cross dunked it.

I see it now 

[Fullbacksympathy]

Ridiculous no call on that three and another really nicely drawn up play.  

[jimmykc]

That was a perfectly legitimate defensive move in Lacrosse.
