Sooo…no shot was attempted. The ball was below the rim when it was touched. Absolutely NOT a goal tend. If they would have awarded THAT a goal tend, it would have been an absolute gift and the incorrect call. I was rooting for the Bears in this one, but they were not the better team last night.

The rule says the defense may not touch the rim while the offense is attempting a shot. It was ruled a shot on the floor.

No shot attempted. Saying a shot was attempted does not make it so.

So, I've pulled the boxscore from UNI, MSU, and ESPN yet no shot was attempted in any of them.

How can there be no goaltending with no shot?

From your picture, that I'm sorry you are too dense to figure out how to post (though I've mentioned many times how bad our picture posting option is here)

The ball is below the rim, the MSU player is behind the backboard trying to go through Tuttle who jumped straight up (if anything it's a foul on MSU for a push in the back), and...well...the ball is below the rim...and no shot was taken as the ball is being touched by the MSU players forearm. I've seen come amazing shots but a behind the backboard shot with a forearm would be a first.

The fact that that picture is the most compelling evidence that Bears fans have, a picture showing absolutely no chance for a basket or shot in any imaginable fashion and hence no goaltending, speaks volumes about how desperately they want to validate themselves of being awarded a chance at beating UNI.
