San Diego State beats Creighton, advance to first Final Four in school history | CBS Sports

[@nonearlylove]

The foul affected the shot..! Foul was the right call..! Straight Up..!

[@OutlookPositive]

San diego State held Alabama & Creighton to a combined 5 of 44 (11.4%) from beyond the arc. The best 3pt percentage defense ever in a regional weekend for a team that advanced to the Final Four. Creighton 2-17 from the 3pt line. O made 3's in the second half & only 23 pts scored for Creighton in the 2nd half.

[@LintEastwood21]

its simple, dont put your hand on his hip and the official cant call the foul.

[@erikrupp692]

Exactly! And he didn't just put his hand on Trammell's hip, he pushed him, altering his mid air trajectory while shooting. It was an obvious, blatant foul that had to be called.

[@ryansuter4424]

A ref should not swallow the whistle when a player was fouled. Now if you want to have a rule that says unless a player is bleeding no fouls are called in the last two minutes of the game,well NCAA could do that. either enforce the rule or get rid of it.

[@UserInterface00]

I made a comment just now similar to yours and totally agree with you. Why have rules if they aren’t going to be enforced? Ref made the right call.

[@kbushfm]

The game situation shouldn't make a difference. A foul is a foul.

[@OutdoorCO75]

I am sick of hearing you don’t call fouls at this point in game, just like the Super Bowl, a foul is a foul.

[@UserInterface00]

Tim making a boneheaded comment. Not calling a foul when it’s in the rules because of the situation has got to be the dumbest thing. If it’s a legit foul, it’s a foul. If they don’t like fouls to decide a game they should make a rule on that and change it. It was a fair foul and that ref made the right call.

[@mightyaztecs]

I remember Tim telling everyone to take Creighton and the points asap. And him saying that Creighton had too many weapons for the Aztecs. Funny how he bet opposite of what he said and the game went differently.

Was it a foul? Yes. Should they have called it? No. The idiocy of that statement is hilarious. They don't want the refs to do their job because of how much time is left on the clock. If anything the refs should be more vigilant.

[@colmecolwag]

I mean if I'm asking for what they should do (as an entertainment product) they totally shouldn't call it If I'm asking what they should do for a fully fairly played competitive game it's call it ....but sometimes you should go for the entertainment option, lol. That's why we're all here after all.

[@eekman9823]

Who says you don't make that call? They all said it was a foul, but some say you don't call it? WOW~

[@ryansuter4424]

The foul: The player got beat and got behind and trailed and so he decided to try and make a play from behind the shooter and he fouled.

How can that foul even be questioned? The jersey was yanked while the shooter was already in motion and in the air. Not only that, but the jersey on the side of the shooting arm. Anyone would have to agree that's almost like yanking on the shooting arm.

[@colmecolwag]

The only debate is if that call would have been made earlier in the game, which was pretty physically played with a lot of swallowed whistles But it's a foul either way

[@aztecSD88]

A foul is a foul no matter when it happens

[@tonysu8860]

The Aztecs got by Creighton. Creighton was probably the main threat blocking the Aztecs from going all the way besides a possible UConn matchup. Creighton is the only remaining team that has histroy with the Aztecs and has actually game planned and experienced the Aztecs before. FAU will be like Alabama, talented but probably has never before in program history played an opponent like the Aztecs and this will be a first experience. UConn is big, strong and talented.

[@JMonneeyy]

I’m scared of UConn but we can do it

[@Grief_Shiesty]

FAU played TENN and beat them comfortably, and TENN is just a better version of SDSU so idk

[@dontnonowuno9953]

@@Grief_Shiesty Tennessee is Not better then the Aztecs.Aztecs are champions who have played together for years with mostly seniors leading the way and play hard EVERY game.Tennessee is a tough physical team that doesn't always show up ,lost their point guard leader,and lacks senior leadership in starting rolls.

[@marcoverdejo8235]

It's not aztecs fault if opposite team wants to play his rithom, and was a foul his coach need to teach how to play under rules defense .

[@The_Notorious_CRG]

it wasn't just a hand on the hip, it was a jersey grab as well. Ask the Eagles how a small jersey grab can affect a team's season.

[@Alieh86]

Maybe don’t grab the shooter’s jersey next time 🤷🏻‍♀️…

[@omuk4584]

I don't get it, most people agree it's a foul but the call should have not been made. Simply because they wanted overtime. If let's say that was the case and Aztec lost. For sure that would have been the talk of the game, that it should have been called. You can't just please both sides these days in sports

[@andreecija7885]

[@richatlarge462]

I'm not in favor of calling ticky-tack fouls at the end of a game, but this was an actual shove in the side with the left arm, so yeah it was a foul that should have been called.

[@raymondf9265]

Nembhard got beat and then he fouled to make up for his bad defense. Why would you reward a defender who couldn't play good defense and then fouled to make up for their deficiency. You call the foul. Stop saying the ref should have swallow the whistle. How about next time the defender just play good defense and not foul.

[@OutlookPositive]

9 seeds or worse are 0-8 all time in the Final Four. Well we may all say that bodes well for San Diego State but we all know @ some point there's going to be the 1st #9 seed or worse to win a Final Four game. Just like there was for the 1st time a #15 seed beat a #2 seed. I just hope it's not next Saturday.

[@chrislucket]

Give sdsu credit. It was the right call. Creighton had plenty of opportunities to win this game. Sdsu held them 2/17 on 3 pointers. I really don't get this. "It was a foul, shouldn't have been called."?

Creighton lost a game earlier this year on a last second no call. Now lost a game on a last second ticky tacky call. I get the if it’s a foul call it narrative but then Creighton isn’t a 6 seed because they would’ve beaten Marquette and not been a 6 seed.

[@dpjacobs28]

You can’t decide the game on affecting a game winning shot with a foul either. You have to call it. Non-foul call shouldn’t affect the outcome either

[@mjphoto45]

Azteca won't win it all with that offense. Uconn is a different animal. Creighton got beat by great defense. Too bad because Creighton won't get this far again.

[@pbmaxsf]

Inbound towards Creighton goal was the right inbound pass. There was still a danger of Creighton’s 3 pointer near the buzzer.

[@OutlookPositive]

B.s that is not the right call. You don't ever inbound the ball towards your own basket. Period.

Get outta here. Creighton lives by the 3 and dies by the 3. They got a way with a lot during the game and that coach whines all game. That point guard they have uses his arm all game with push offs. Big guy down low traveled twice with the ball in the post wasn’t called. We can go back and forth. That was a foul on the play. Trammel had him beat and he had an arm on him . That point guard uses his arm on offense and reaches on defense and it cost him. Creighton lost.

[@tonymanero8540]

Unwritten rule when it is a tie game in regulation, and the foul was not a hard foul to the point of injury or completely hacked the hand of the shooter, you don’t call that with 1 second in the game. Charles Barkley agreed and stated that and the ref who was hired by CBS never stated that when he was interviewed on CBS. He said that it was this refs judgement on the call. And I listened to him many times where he stated in games that in his judgement it was a foul. But he could not state that in this game if he would of called that. And remember in this game so many fouls were not called and Jay Wright brought that up. Let the two teams settle it in overtime and let’s not have this discussion. This ref in my eyes blew it. I played ball and watched the college game for over 55 years. Terrible call.
