I just rewatched it a few more times and that was an absolute trash call. He was trying to avoid the guy that was trailing. I’m glad it didn’t change the outcome of the game.

Devo on that play after the game:
“I mean, when you’re running full speed and going to dunk it, I can’t just fall off the rim and bust my head, you know? But it’s fine. We got the W and it’s all that matters. As long as we won, I’m fine with the technical and all that. I just can’t get another one or I won’t be able to play next game.”
Ego call.
I thought it was a legit call because of the chin up he did at the end.
If he had just held onto the rim, I think he had been fine.
But I thought he went for the style points as well as the safety ones.
I would have thought the same way if it had been a Texas Tech player.

Yeah the chin-up got him.
It’s been in the rulebook all along but rarely called. There have been a couple of Justin’s dunks this year that I wouldn’t have been surprised if he got T’d up.
Swines correct it’s rarely called these days.
Leave it to the Hogs to revive the tradition…
Not only was there a chin-up, but there was a backboard slap as well. I didn’t like it because that’s more a showing of emotion than something dirty, but I feel it was the right call.
Devo slapped the backboard? I didn’t see that…gonna have to go look at that.
Missed the backboard slap as well. Should have a been a 9 for style then.
Left hand, bottom of the backboard right after he released rim.
He deserved it because of chin-up. Of course my 16-year old son thinks you should be able to dunk and do a hand stand on the rim.
Didn’t see the back board slap, but that gets called about 100 percent of the time. Gotta control emotions on the court. Gotta know better.
