Bishop Byrne vs. Briarcrest D2 semis

[brothersbball]

At the last second of the Briarcrest- Bishop Byrne game in the D2 west semifinals Mike Oher put up a shot that was very controversial, just wanted 2 hear anyones comments who saw it, i was standing on that end line directly under the scoreboard and i thought it was NO good, the basket ended up not countin and Byrne won the game by 2.

i didnt have as a close a view, however my initial reaction was that it didnt go in but that the refs were gonna count it. i thought that they would have counted it so they could have gone into over, just because they didnt want to end the game on such a controversial call. also something to note, at the end of the game two of the refs met to decide if the shot went in. they were both the sidelines ref. the ref that was right under the basket stood off to the side as the other two refs deliberated. i will admit that the ref who stood off to the side has a bad reputation as a ref, but still he had the clearest shot. he was right under the basket. oh well, its not written anywhere that teams that get third place in the region cant win a state title.

I go to Briarcrest. I was on the front row of the student section right in front of the goal where the shot took place. From what I saw the basket was shot preceeding the buzzer. Even if it was not, one ref said basket the other said no basket. There was a ton of yelling from both sides, and people were all over the court. This may have been one of the reasons for ending the game right there. The ref made a final no basket call and ran off the court. The officers at the game even came to midcourt to make shure there was no fighting. I dont agree with the call, however the game is over and it doesnt matter. I hope to see Briarcrest win big in the next game and go to State for another shot. I would also not be surprised to see an oppology from tssaa after they review the film.
