Arizona got FAAACCCKKKEEDD

WOW...March Madness has started early!

How you call a foul there? It’s getting harder and harder to think these games are not fixed. 

Seriously, I had three parlays waiting on zona money line, that ref just decided the game and that was great defense by Zona.  That was a $1200 swing for me   Being that was the last game of the night, I’m guessing that call just swung billions of bets.

Definitely questionable call but the Cats mailed in their defensive effort all game long. They didn’t deserve the W. Awful effort!

Absolute trash foul call that changed the outcome of the game. Hate to see that 

The ref standing right under the basket and closest to the play didn’t even call it. Absolutely brutal, horrific call. 

Can't call a foul there. Arizona though did not play well tonight. 

@IslandAction808

 I’m not even sure which ref called the foul..he wasn’t even in the picture 

The Love layup should have been plus the foul. Maybe it was the same ref. Do these incompetent refs get demoted?

The AZ def was beyond poor.

They made Richie Saunders look like Larry Bird.

@BlackwaterOP

 Defender did everything right. Played the guy straight up and didn't lean in. Total screw job.

The new york times did an article a few years back, on who coaches liked and disliked:

Tony Padilla

“Never been a fan. I can’t stand, at a high level, the phantom calls. The calls I don’t agree with are one thing. It’s the out-of-nowhere calls. And this dude has never been wrong about anything, ever.”

“Never feel great when he’s on a game. Never know how the game will be called.”

This is the guy who made the call. Crazy he is still a ref.

oh, btw:

This is the same ref who called the foul in the Samford-Kansas game last year in the NCAA tournament.

you know the play: Samford defender made one of the greatest defensive plays in the history of the tourney, all ball in the last seconds, alas, until Padilla saw that "phantom" foul.
