well im glad I not the only one who saw it. And im not disagreeing that there wasn't contact. I'm saying officials are there to make calls but all understand the situation and what happened previously and what is going to happen.

Here is what im saying. If they don't call the foul you have a few people saying man that should have been a foul and viginia could have tied or won it with FT's but the right team won.

If you call the foul you have the entire world focused on the call and now questioning whether the right team advanced.

Im not a "black or white" foul no foul guy. For example if its kyle guy missed the last FT and they smacked a Auburn guy in the back of the arm out of bound. In the first qtr that might be a loose ball foul that puts them to the line but do you make that call...if a fouls a foul? No you swallow your whistle and let the game go to OT.


I hear you but at the same time i saw Auburn shoot themselves in the foot multiple times with terrible shot selection and also missed free throws in the clutch so I can't really say they got screwed by the refs. They did their part to put themselves in that position so it is what it is.



i hear you but these games are always so close. VA blew a 10 pt lead thats on them too. So you can't just blame Auburn for that. They should have been rewarded with a win.


No doubt and a lot of credit to Auburns defense and some great shot making by Brown. But Kyle Guy is a killer in the clutch too and very capable of making that should if he doesnt get fouled. Even with the foul he almost splashed it so I see it both ways. There was a lot of factors that decided the game so I can't say the refs decided it.

That kid has tremendous length though, like him at the 4th or 5th pick.

Also realized we have a shot at Audrey Dawkins in the 2nd round.

You looks like a hi IQ player to me. Willing to take what the defense gives him. But if the game is close at the end, he'll have to step up.

Hunter had a nice game. But Ty Jerome had a better one.

Jerett Culver:

Image

3 Cavs*
Jarrett Culver
SG - HT: 6-7 - WT: 195 - WING: NA - FROM: Texas Tech - So.
Culver gets the edge over Barrett due to his outside shooting ability and his big frame. He appears to have an inch or two over Barrett and his outside shot projects better to the next level.
Comparisons: Kendall Gill, Paul Pierce

Overview
Culver has come on strong in his Sophomore season and is putting up big number with great efficiency. He's grown a few inches from last year without losing his speed. If he measures well at the combine he could lock up a spot in the top half of the lottery.

Strengths
Has an overall great feel for the game and plays both ends.
An elite level shooter who can knock down shots from anywhere on the floor and is very efficient. Scores from three levels and has a pure stroke.
A crafty ball handler and play maker who moves the ball well after collapsing the defense with the dribble. He's a really high level passer.
Has a soft touch around the rim and a natural feel for putting the ball in the bucket.
Knows how to move without the ball to find space for his shot.
Can guard nearly every position and is a real menace in the passing lanes and on the ball.

Weaknesses
Struggles from the FT line.
Has somewhat of a slow wind-up on his jumper (but the ball goes in the basket).
