Washington State CLUTCH 4 point play leads to upset win vs #4 Arizona

That is so sad for that arizona player that slipped. He did not mean for it to happen, but the shoes gave out on the court. What a tragedy

[@TexasFightTexas]

Eh it’s not his fault, the foul on the 3 pointer is inexcusable

[@lukephillips1331]

that was caleb love. no stranger to big moments. he sent duke and coach k packing (in k’s last game ever) in the final four when he was at UNC. he still almost hit the falling out of bounds 35 footer to send it to overtime in this game lol

[@Michael65429]

​@@lukephillips1331It wasn't just Love that beat Doook, it was the "whole team", not just one individual. And that's Love's biggest fault: he was a selfish, me first player at Carolina. Always pouted when he missed a shot and progressively took worse shots when he got that way. It cost Carolina several games and quite frankly, Carolina is a much better team without him. Good riddance...

[@SR71_Blackbird]

Did anything come of the little light up noodle being thrown at the bench?

[@pschighlights]

I was wondering about that too lol

[@heidimark]

Only a PA announcement about "please do not throw objects onto the court" and a warning that a future disruption would draw a technical against Arizona.

It was an upset considering it was Arizona but Wash State just have 8 game winning streak prior to this game. Both teams ate actually hot.

[@alacritical7873]

Kyle Smith is a veritable national coach of the year contender. this season in men’s college basketball has provided us an abundance of coach of the year candidates, such as Smith, Lamont Paris (South Carolina represent!), Danny Sprinkle, T.J. Otzelberger, and Amir Abdur-Rahim, alongside numerous other coaches I’m certain I’m forgetting at this moment

[@jpm7764]

How did Wazzu become the best basketball team in the state of Washington? Gonzaga's been the power for a while, with Washington occasionally making the tourney. But the Cougs have done nothing for over a decade. The concept of WSU being a good basketball team is completely foreign to me, but I am all in favor (even as a Husky fan).

[@_JellyDonut_]

Mike Hopkins has been a huge disappointment. His first 2 seasons showed some promise but the last 5 years have been dismal. They should have booted him after the 2021 season when they went 5 and 21. I think they just owed him too much money to fire him. Fortunately his contract is finally up next month so he's almost certainly gone. Hopefully they're willing to spend the money to get somebody decent

Hot Take: Arizona is always overated. This upset shouldn’t have surprised anyone.

[@nateboy123]

The only reason they are ranked is because they beat Michigan a couple seasons back when Michigan was ranked 4 or something at the beginning of that season

LOL, whenever Arizona loses, America wins!

[@tragicsham]

Absolutely no one talking about the fact that wasn't even a foul. Zero contact made by the defender. Shooter landed on the defender's foot and he oversold the fall. Regardless, a great shot, but am I the only one seeing this?

[@-frcracked-8804]

The defensive player getting into the shooters landing zone is the entire point of the rule. Dangerous when they land on the defenders feet and leads to injuries very often. The rule is that you can't obstruct the shooters landing area or it's a foul.

[@danielfolkers1538]

Unpopular opinion: those types of fouls where the defender contacts the shooter after the shot has already been put up should not be a shooting foul. They should still be a foul, but a non shooting one.

[@elijahfoster2]

That would be dangerous to player safety to reduce the punishment for such fouls. You would see a lot more injuries on close-outs.

Shooter has the right to go straight up and come down in the same spot without a defender getting in his landing spot

i see what you mean because it doesnt affect the shot, but theres basically no punishment if its a not shooting fowl

Agreed. There have been some questionable rule changes in the last 10 or so years but that's a good one. Defenders never should have been allowed to step under a shooter on a jump shot
