Good call.

Hope Alford gets dunked on and the ball goes through the basket and breaks his nose next game. Don't know why but I can't stand that dude.

His hand was in front of the rim when he touched it. How is that goaltending?

Tough call. Like right in between getting a rebound on an airball and goaltending. Sucks to get rewarded for an airball though

Looked under the rim to me, can't goaltend an airball. UCLA gets bailed on one of the worst shot selections ever.

That was about to be an airball.

I've watched it 20 times and still can't decide. No way ball was going in, that's for sure.

The guy that touched it had a perfect line on it. Common sense tells you a guy wouldn't interfere like that unless he could tell it was a clear airball. The very slow motion replay seems to support that.

Also a couple of plays earlier a UCLA player fell down and slid on the floor before throwing the ball to a teammate, then a questionable foul ensued. Shouldn't that have been a travel?

Unbelievable. It was the right call, but just a terribly dumb play by SMU. How about Alford (player) sticking his chest out like he did anything other than get bailed out on a bad shot

That was a bad call. That ball was going to be an air ball.

The fact that we can't decide whether it was going to be an airball or not after seeing it on slow-motion replay proves that it was the right call.

You can only snatch the ball out of the air when the ball is on the way down if it is obviously not going to hit the rim.

Therefore, it was the right call in this case.

what is the goaltending rule?

I understanding it is a judgement call, but what are they trying to judge?

Not to mention Looney got the rebound after that. At the bare minimum, this is a tie game going into OT

That was a terrible call that you never see made. UCLA would not have even been complaining had they played on.

The rule is that if it is going to hit the rim, you have to let it hit the rim. The referee in this case judged that the ball was going to hit the rim, so that is why he called goaltending. If you know for certain that that ball was not going to hit the rim, you have better eyes than I do.
