right. and every time may got the ball in the lane he ran someone over, but thats not a foul either right?

and then don't get me started about augustine, he just looked at UNC players and had 5 fouls called on him. not a single one was evern defending a shot. this is pathetic.

Augustines fouls was not necessarily his fault..but he was there at the wrong place and time. They were fouls...just admit it. Fouls dont have to be a shooting foul..

they were not fouls, if they were fouls, they woulda been called at the other end, and they obviously weren't. how many times did powerll get hacked when he caught that rebound under the rim? not a single whistle.

the sad thing is, everyone calling "illegal screens" only noticed it when the biggest tarheel fan in the nation billy packer started crying about it. the same billy packer who counted three magical steps in the UNC vs. Villanova game that gave UNC the free win there as well. 1 maybe 2 of those screens were illegal, but packer made it out to sound like every single screen being set was.

but he was there at the wrong place and time.

Now THAT'S listening to Packer too much. I'm pretty sure he said that exact line, or one of the other guys. lol. I agree they didnt need to call those fouls but hey just look at my other posts. It came down to too many missed 3s for the Illini.

think i'll jump up to 11th. If Arizona had played 3 more minutes instead of fantasizing about the final four, I would have finished in the top 10. (probably would have messed up enough backets for a top 5)

dang it yahoo :laugh:

Who are the losers voting for UNC AFTER the game is over? LOL. That vote tally had a 5-6 increase for UNC since the game ended

585728251[/snapback]

I just now voted, but I had UNC picked. Afterall, I AM from Raleigh, NC ;)

It's just too bad OU couldn't do better since that's where I actually go to school. Oh well, at least UNC helped keep us from holding a record we didn't want to hold haha.

1st congrats to NC :sleep:

I have to agree that the officials sucked :angry: for both teams though. The difference between the two teams was May would plow down any person in his way (like Shaq) but nothing was ever called except for fouls against the Illini and Illini go lucky with no calls for all those screens but UNC gain way too much of an advantage on their parts with getting the Illini in foul trouble and that made the Illini change their defense in the 2nd half.

If fouls were called correctly, the Illini win by at least 8 but there's no what should of beens in sports :(

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
