However, with the officials out of position, they allowed the play to continue. TCU guard Mike Miles was being pressured heavily by Arizona guard Dalen Terry near half court as time waned. The Melendez technical was perhaps superseded by the noncall at half court at the end of regulation between the Wildcats and Horned Frogs on Sunday night.
Debate over the final few moments of regulation ensued on social media in the aftermath of Arizona's win over TCU on Sunday.

Early marks for the Arizona Cardinals in NFL free agency player signings and team grades are not kind to the team.
He wrote: "Ertz is a player the Cardinals love, which is why they traded for him last season and why he was a priority re-sign for them this offseason. Arizona went all in on older and/or injury-prone veterans a year ago, but it'd be nice to see the team go a little greener if its gonna spend big money. Sam Monson wrote: "The Cardinals have yet to add anybody to the roster in free agency who wasn’t there last season, but they have watched several key members of last year’s team walk out of the door. Cody Benjamin wrote: "It's not that the players the Cardinals added or retained are bad; Conner and Ertz are vital to their offense. The team is either working on adding value late in free agency or is planning on making all of its improvements in the draft. But couldn’t the Cardinals draft someone who could replicate Conner’s production, if given the opportunity, at a much lower cost?"

O’Bannon scored the first five points and Miles had the last four. Chuck O’Bannon Jr. had a career-high 23 points for TCU (21-13) while Mike Miles Jr. and Eddie Lampkin Jr. had 20 apiece.

Coyotes general manager Bill Armstrong announced on Monday that goaltender Karel Vejmelka has signed a three-year extension with Arizona.
He had previously played for Arizona in the 2017-18 season. That was good value for a goaltender we picked up off waivers.” “Wedgewood had played extremely well,” Armstrong said.
The Arizona Cardinals did the right thing in cutting defensive tackle Jordan Phillips loose, but they still face a gaping hole at defensive tackle.
Calais Campbell and Sheldon Richardson are both good options if the Cardinals want versatility. He can also at least serve as a part-time starter while someone like Davis or another draftee adjusts to the NFL. That’s if they decide to upgrade their defense early in the draft, which will allow inside linebackers Isaiah Simmons and Zaven Collins to converge.
The final game of the NCAA tournament's first weekend ended with another officiating controversy, this one a non-call.
Referees lost control of North Carolina’s game against Baylor Saturday after Brady Manek’s debatable ejection, which led to Baylor erasing a 25-point deficit and forcing overtime. “The official closest to the play should not advance in the tournament. Instead, Arizona, a team many pick to win the tournament, advanced. Pat Forde of Sports Illustrated concurred, tweeting, “We, um, NEED A REPLAY of the collision at midcourt. He wasn’t fast enough to beat the clock, though, and the game went into overtime, where Arizona, a No. 1 seed, went on to advance to the Sweet 16 with an 85-80 victory. “Stunned there were not multiple replays of the most important play of the game,” ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla tweeted.

“There are some games and sometimes throughout the game where coaches have to play chess a little bit. “It’s on the whole team. Those are things that we have to do,” said Arizona coach Adia Barnes, the leading scorer on the 1998 team. “They’re tough, they’re physical and we are going to have to do that in order to win the game. Arizona had a hard time shaking the Lady Rebels even after playing better, entering the fourth quarter trailing by five. There was a slow start, breakdowns at both ends of the floor, an early deficit before a late rally.
The Arizona Cardinals have done very little this off-season, but one thing they were able to do was add a young cornerback. That's why when Danny Kelly of ...
He has the size and physicality to compete with receivers like DK Metcalf, Cooper Kupp, and Deebo Samuel.” “The Cardinals need to upgrade their talent and depth at cornerback. “Booth didn’t participate in Clemson’s Pro Day and is set to undergo surgery on a core muscle next week, he told reporters Thursday. Booth also didn’t test at the NFL scouting combine because of a hamstring injury.”
The TCU Horned Frogs had reason to gripe Sunday after an overtime loss to the Arizona Wildcats in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
But you know what, there was nothing wrong with that going to overtime and having to play another five minutes and find a way.” Dalen was at the top of the key with a second to go. What the heck, 10 seconds to go in the game, let’s throw a trap on him and see what happens. I was scared when Coach asked us … because I knew he was going to try to get at me and try to get a foul,” Koloko said. That’s what we wanted to do and it worked.” And we wanted to trap him.

They’re tough, they’re physical and we are going to have to do that in order to win the game.

Houston and Arizona face off on Thursday in an NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 game. Which team will advance to the Elite Eight?
Houston has a 19-11 record against the spread and a 26-5 record overall when giving up fewer than 84.6 points." In a game that may have some nerves given the big game feel and the immense size of both teams, I'd lean towards the under." The few days off will do wonders for Kriisa and Arizona. the talent is undeniable, but there are way too many lulls. Pete Fiutak writes: "If Arizona plays like it did in the first two games of the tournament, it’s about to get smoked. Reed Wallach writes: "I don't have a confident feel for this one, but a key point for me is the free throw shooting for Houston, 66% as a team and 327th in the nation and the team's suspect shot creation. Arizona has a stable of bigs that also contain the perimeter.
Arizona only lost three games all season, but its weaknesses could show in its next game against Houston in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
I mean, I want our guys to bring extra. And so I want them to bring extra. The grit and toughness and the teams on our side of the bracket, it's pretty formidable." I want them to be participants, not observers." "We deserved to win that game and we didn’t win," Miles said. "The story of this game is just our toughness, how hard we play and defense," Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said afterward. I'm trying to get my staff and myself to bring extra. The Wildcats could be a team that finds ways to win even when they let their guard down and play a little sloppy. The No. 5 seed Cougars (31-5) turned on the pressure again Sunday when they held No. 4 seed Illinois to 34% shooting in a 68-53 win. And we haven’t had a big guy do that to us all year. The relentless Cougars also lead the nation in field-goal percentage defense, having held opponents to only 37.5% shooting. They didn’t call it."
No. 1 seed Arizona outlasted No. 9 seed TCU in an 85-80 overtime victory that could have been one of the classic games of the 2022 NCAA Tournament.
"And the challenge now is to handle it the right way after this loss." Both teams had a chance to win the game in overtime, but it was Arizona who got the job done. Regardless of the explanation, the Wildcats had a split second more to try to convert their final shot. That would have caused more chaos and controversy at the end of this contest. "I mean, I think everybody’s seen it and is talking about it," Dixon said of the no-call. TCU had the ball with just under 13 seconds left on the clock in a 75-all tie.

Taze Moore put up 21 points and Jamal Shead contributed 18 of his own in Houston’s 68-53 win over No. 4 Illinois, but a stifling defense set the tone, holding the Fighting Illini to their lowest point total since Nov. 22. Again, the breakdown was out of the norm for Arizona’s elite unit, but could be something to watch. Houston ranked top 10 in the country for offensive rebounds.
