End of Rutgers/St. Johns Game

RLM_Tracker · 03-09-11, 05:06 PM

Should've been a technical foul as well (which I haven't seen or heard anyone mention yet), if I was Rutgers' coach I would be raising holy hell.

You can clearly see AT LEAST 2 seconds left on the clock, what the hell is going on at MSG right now?

Fatcessa is having a heart attack from this.

stevex · 03-09-11, 05:09 PM

Rightly so though, whats the explanation?

freakydave · 03-09-11, 05:45 PM

The officials for that game are a disgrace.

denn333 · 03-09-11, 05:47 PM

what a joke these clowns are.

jarvol · 03-09-11, 06:21 PM

He stepped out of bounds with 1.7 sec left. It should have been Rutgers ball. Then they should have called a technical for throwing the ball in the stands. Rutgers should have gotten 2 FTs attempts and the ball. Awful, awful officiating.

anybody have the over/under in this game? it ended at 128. line opened at 130 and ended at 127. conspiracy?

Tower · 03-09-11, 06:33 PM

If it was a conspiracy, then the officials wouldn't have called that blocking foul in the last minute on Rutgers to give SH free throws

ebbearsfb1 · 03-09-11, 06:37 PM

no consipracy, maybe refs had uconn and saint johns in a ml parlay?

Big east said it was a bad call, but there was nothing they could do about it under NCAA rules.

They should go to a 5 minute sudden death period with rutgers down by 1 at the start

stevex · 03-09-11, 07:00 PM

One of the worst calls I've seen in my lifetime watching a sports game.

cohbull · 03-09-11, 07:45 PM

Glad I didn't see the final minutes. I went out to walk the dag when I thought my over had no chance of cashing.

eldoctord · 03-09-11, 10:07 PM

Another game decided by the refs

ShamsWoof10 · 03-09-11, 10:07 PM

I would say that foul on Nash was far worse but this was bad...

Junkyard Dog · 03-10-11, 12:31 AM

rutgers got fukkin robbed, should have the ball at halfcourt with 1.8 seconds.........and nothin will happen to the asshole refs

stevex · 03-10-11, 02:54 AM

Just saying in general, I didn't have a dime on the game, but WOW. You can look at the replay a million times and you'll see he stepped out of bounds with PLENTY of time left on the clock. The Big East excuse is that "it's not reviewable," and they gave that excuse a half hour AFTER the game was over....

They don't care though. They wanted St. Johns to move forward any way for better ratings or whatever. I'll tell you what to, if Rutgers did some how move on, I honestly think they would've given the 'Cuse a run for there money.

Looks like the player got confused by the coach or someone approaching him, he's probably so excited when he saw that person he figured they had won.

Didn't have any money on it myself

There were a series of bad/blown calls by the officials down the stretch but the play in the last seconds was the most blatant. Another black eye for CBB.

best comment.lol. when the camera's showed the refs right after the game ended they were high tailing it out of dodge. it looked like they were already half way out the arena headed for the bookie.
agree with everyone here, monumental F-up.

rickbo528 · 03-10-11, 08:41 AM

Tim Donaghy would be proud of this officiating crew.

wrongturn · 03-10-11, 10:16 AM

So NCAA does not have rule to review plays near game of game?

Haha I'm sure he taught these guys all he knows.

Another example of why Tim Higgins is the worst ref in the country, every game he does has some controversy. If you watch the games he refs, there is always coaches yelling and screaming at him. Usually there is a technical called because he blows a call and a coach goes ballistic, or if he really blows a call he just gives the coaches his smug face and that "i'm in charge here look". Guy loves to draw attention to himself and stare down players and coaches to let them know who's running the show. Plus, he looks like he's drunk with his old man drunken red nose, they should put this guy down like a derby horse with a broken hoof.

Tim Higgins screwed A&M out of the Sweet 16 vs #1seed UCLA in 2007

nobodyukno · 03-10-11, 11:54 AM

Sure they blew the call but i dont see it as a huge of deal as everyone is making it out to be
