The first elder of the NCAA tournament finally came on Sunday night.
Maryland suffered from fear of Colorado State, thanks to the fresh thrilling Derek Queen, who sent Terrapens to Sweet 16 with an elderly batter. While Maryland remained at the wrong end of the last occupation all year long, Ball finally bounced his way in the 72-71 victory in March.
However, Maryland may be violating the play. After the re -broadcast of the moment, the audience began the debate on whether the Queen’s potentially journey should not have been counted.
There is a look at what happened.

Did the Derek Queen travel?
To defeat Colorado State, the latest center had to collect itself on Derek Queen’s elder batter, and took some steps before the shot was removed.
Derek Queen FTW 😱

However, they may be violated. The Queen appeared to take three steps before taking the shot, which means that this call may have been traveling to college. In the NBA, the queen will be fine, because the first step will be considered a “deposited step”, which is allowed. There is not the same in college.
Nevertheless, expecting referees to call a trip to this place, perhaps this is a desire, even if the call should have been made.
Certainly it looks like the winning Raifs lost a journey on the Maryland shot. Three major steps. pic.twitter.com/nmlgbp9yFF

During the CBS Sports post game coverage, rules analyst Jean Strator explained why he believed the referees had the right to call.

As expected, viewers on social media argued whether the Queen traveled, or that it was okay to let Rifs go to the game.
I think it’s one of the plays that looks like a journey but not so. After the gathering, he gets two steps. Do you count the deposit in the third stage? Maybe not. https://t.co/4FGMBVGEP

Just in or it was a journey on Maryland Boiser batter?!

Yes it was a lot of trips. Still to hit a tough shot. A manifestation of barbarism. https://t.co/imnt3xw3qr

This call will definitely be discussed in the coming days, as Maryland is moving to play Florida on Thursday, while Colorado State is going home.
