The CBS talking heads were trying to say wrong to call it?! Was as clear as water! Idiots
So Nembhard can get hacked on his arm that clearly injures him, no call, but a light bump is called. They are both fouls, but that is what people are upset about. Inconsistency.
I know very little about NCAA, more familiar with NBA but congrats SDSU
This gonna be a great year to be a San Diegan

I usually look for hair, jersey or head movement to help defining that call, it was a push! The inbound must be overlooked, it will not impact the result of the play! Pickle call on the last play. . .but it seems right!
From a neutral fan: How could that NOT be a foul? I’m just glad it wasn’t missed.
Sweet sweet revenge
That wasn't a foul call
I am neither an SDSU or a Creighton fan, but that was clearly a foul and a very good, gutsy call made under extreme pressure. From the front view, the shooter was moving directly toward the basket in the air. The defender then grabs the shooter's jersey, pulling it back, and then pushes the shooter sideways on his hip. You can see that when the shooter is initially in the air, he is moving forward toward the basket, but his trajectory is changed MID AIR so that when the shooter lands, his momentum has now magically shifted from a forward to a sideways movement, and the shooter then falls to his side. An object stays in motion until it encounters an opposing force. Physics dictates that the defender had to have had sufficient contact with the shooter to change the shooter's trajectory in mid air. That much contact could easily effect the shooter's shot, not only by nudging it to the left side somewhat, but also by reducing the forward momentum that the ball would have if the shooter was allowed to continue moving forward. Though it is not absolute 'proof' of a foul, the shot fell short and slightly to the left side of the rim, which is the side to which the defender pushed the shooter. In slow motion, with multiple angles, and with simple analysis, this was clearly a foul. It is a tough call for Creighton, but an accurate one. Regardless of which team won this game, this tournament has been a wonderfully pleasant change from the usual big name schools dominating. This is another good example of why the college football playoffs should be expanded at least to 16 teams (but maybe even to 32 teams) 🙂 .
Great game!!
Not controversial at all.
That's a horrible call as much contact they allow all game…. And the way they just said F it at the end and called it tells you exactly why the foul was called to begin with. They was ready to go home and didn't get paid for overtime evidently lol
He would not have been called for the foul if he had not extended his arm
I was listening to the final minutes of this game on the radio yesterday while driving to work. This game will be talked about for years to come.
This is another year where SDSU won 30+ games in a season. I believe it was the 4th time. They were due to make the Final Four. The other thing is SDSU plays the toughest non-conference schedule yearly for Mountain West teams. In 19-20, SDSU was the last undefeated team to lose a game, starting out the season winning 26 straight before a home loss to UNLV. The other loss that season was to Utah State in the Mountain West Championship game. Then, Covid shut down that NCAA tournament.
My god how soft sport have gotten. This is why my ten year thinks when he is simply touched that it’s a foul. Get real
.3 seconds should’ve remained with ball in Creighton’s hands. To call the game over was not right
Hard to say that's a good call when you haven't called it all game….
Why is everyone fixated on the foul and not the over-ruling of the game clock at the end? Creighton should've had one last chance, slim chance I'll admit… but it was the shenanigans with the clock that upset me more than the foul. I've replayed it a couple times and yes it's very close to 1.2 seconds, but how do you overrule that and say that wasn't 1.1 seconds using a stopwatch? Give me a break! If it's that close, leave it alone and let them play it out on the court
SDSU representing MW
It's a bad call. Is it a foul? Probably. Do you let the players or refs decide the game? The players. It needs to be more physical than that to eliminate a team from the NCAA Tourney. Lame
I know some people didn't like the call on Nembhard, but it did look like he tried to impede Trammell when he got beat on the pull up attempt. If Ryan got ahead of him and went vertical on the shot attempt, he would have gotten away with it but he reached in on his hip (trying to throw the shot off) which is a foul.
Clearly an offensive foul! He used his right hip to create a hyper gravity black hole, drawing the defenders left hand in to the weightless void. The call should have been reviewd by NASA, MIT and Steven Hawkins…..and ultimately reversed!
I am so happy to see SDSU finally get there due. They have good teams for many years and exciting too.
Enduro
Creighton fans: oh it was out on san diego. San diego fans: it was out on Creighton. Reality: it was out on Creighton. let me guess, its a conspiracy
Definitely a good call on the foul.
Clock at 1.2 started late.
Heartbreaking way to lose!
Now we need whoever between San Diego State and Florida Atlantic that can beat UConn to win.
would've been sick if that inbounds lob became an alley-oop at the rim!
LETS GO SAN DIEGO
SDSU let’s go!!
4:06 This shove was way worse than the one at the end of the game. Bottom line, the nudges and shoves were not called all game. It’s not a foul for 39 min and 58 seconds then all of a sudden, it is🤡
It's always a side that won't like the call. One that will…THIS is what and why you have officials! That watch the plays!!! Not the game! You can not get caught up in the let the kids play mindset! You don't call that mindset! A foul is a foul at 14:58 of the game and 0.1 of the game.
This was a ref game not Creighton vs San Diego St game from the start! FACTS
Not a supporter of either team but it was clearly a foul and one that did involve hindering a player who was heading towards a potential winning basket or creating a rebound for one . Good for the ref for respecting the integrity of the game, the teams and the fans. It is to be noted that the Aztecs are the only team in the Final Four that were actually ranked in the Top 25 in the Preseason poll. UCON looks pretty impressive and I do respect Dan Hurley but it would be awfully nice to see one of the other 3 teams be the winner of the tournament .
total bs
