It’s one of those plays that the official would have blown the whistle if it had rimmed out but he let it go when the shot went in.

That's something that happens infinitely more in the NBA than in college. You do see it in college but it's not nearly common enough to be able to make an assumption that the ref would've made the call if the shot hadn't gone in.

Still, though, even if we all have temporary telepathy and know for a fact that was exactly what the ref was thinking then it's still BS right there. It's not like Miller's shot came with no time left or pushed the lead from 2 to 4 points. It was a one point game. If you think there's a foul there then it needs to be called. Having a chance to push the lead from 1 to 2 is a big deal in that situation and even bigger would've been the potential that a free throw is missed and TCU gets an offensive rebound.

Any way you want to look at it that was an absolutely horrendous no call.

Just amazed at that non-call. How do you not call that? He got smacked to the floor.

I hope it was his foot instead of his hand, and I want to know who’s the knucklehead. Have him put his autograph just above the hole, his artwork; and wait to do the wall replacement until after the season, so he has to view it everytime down that hallway…but would he care? See if anyone else wants to kick some holes.

Make him assist in patching the hole and tediously painting the entire wall so it looks like new again. And of course in this era, post pictures on social media, sheesh.

Men's Power Rankings: A wild, wild week puts UConn at No. 1

Let's acknowledge just what TCU, Washington State, Nebraska and Iowa State did to shake up the rankings -- and how UConn, North Carolina and Wisconsin are benefitting.
www.espn.com www.espn.com
After at Cincinnati Tuesday night, the Frogs play another excellent defense at Schollmaier at 1 p.m. this Saturday, #24 Iowa State (#20 Coaches Poll). Appears Iowa State may have found a good coach, T.J. Otzelberger, year three.

Team of the Week: TCU Horned Frogs​

Entering the week, it was still entirely unclear how good Jamie Dixon's team was this season. Its best win came against Arizona State, though the Frogs took Kansas to the wire at Allen Fieldhouse. This past week should have answered any questions. They handed Oklahoma just its second loss of the season on Wednesday, then turned around and beat No. 2 Houston by one in the final seconds on Saturday.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, it was just the second time in program history that TCU defeated AP top-10 teams in consecutive games -- after also doing it in 2022. It was also the Horned Frogs' fourth win over a team ranked in the top two, and third in the past five seasons.

Dixon has an incredibly experienced group, with eight seniors and a junior in his 10-man rotation. They're perhaps not as dynamic in the backcourt as they were last season, without Mike Miles Jr., but they're still elite in transition and shoot it better than they did a season ago. This should be another NCAA tournament team in Fort Worth.

Coach of the Week: T.J. Otzelberger, Iowa State Cyclones​

Otzelberger has Iowa State on track to exceed expectations again in the Big 12. The Cyclones were picked last in Otzelberger's first season at the helm, then reached the NCAA tournament. They were eighth in last year's preseason poll, then earned a 6-seed in the NCAA tournament. Picked seventh this preseason, they are now ranked inside the top 15 in most metrics (including inside the top 10 of the BPI).

Iowa State opened its week by handing Houston its first loss of the season, then followed that up by avoiding a letdown performance and crushing Oklahoma State by 24. Since Otzelberger was hired in 2021, the Cyclones' ranks in adjusted defensive efficiency at KenPom have been No. 5, No. 8 and now No. 2. They're No. 1 in defensive turnover percentage and No. 10 in 2-point percentage defense, and just held Houston and Oklahoma State to their worst offensive performances of the season.
