Yanick Moreira is sick with himself today and your heart has to go out to him. Moreira accidentally cost his SMU team a win in the NCAA Tournament yesterday against UCLA after a very suspect goaltending call. It seems like many people couldn’t even agree if it was really a goaltend or not because the shot appeared to be an airball. Still, Moreira touched it maybe a little too early and it gave the basket to UCLA, which wound up being the winning shot.

Nobody was more hurt than Moreira himself. He took full blame for costing his team and burst into tears during the post game press conference. Even many NBA players were going back and forth about what the right call should have been. One player who said it was a goaltend was Kevin Durant, whom Moreira responded to via twitter with a little bit of a sarcastic message. I am sure he was still in his emotional state which he is entitled too because KD didn’t say anything bad, but maybe he felt it was just being thrown in his face.Check the gallery for the twitter exchange. What you guys think from looking at the plays, was it a goaltend or should the ref had not blown the whistle?
