    Wow. A player made the worst play in the history of basketball. Except that .5 game seconds later it was the second worst.

    The 2nd foul was definitely a foul, but that doesnt get called 99 times out of 100 in the NBA.

    You go to OT and let them decide it fairly. Either way, both players are idiots. These teams spend so much time practicing their game but they should spend time on game management and late game clock scenarios, seems like they have no idea what to do.

    a shame that the game had to be decided like that. the 2nd was definitely a foul but probably should have been let go

    The refs who called the fouls had bet the game with each other. Second ref call was retailiatory. The fact there was some contact coincidental. Had the guy not been touched the goddam whistle was being blown immediately.

    Both should have been a no call IMO. Mack is more stupid though.

    both plays were fouls end of story.. both should have been called... are you the type of people who think in football a pass interference penalty should be called in the 1st quarter.. but if the same play happens in the 4th quarter with 30 seconds left.. it should be no call???

    I don't blame the kids, I blame the coaches, what the hell are they telling their team during these stoppages and time outs..

    Further proof that you can never tell what 19- and 20-year-olds are going to do. And when you place your hard-earned money in the hands of these players, that's where risk and reward go in opposite directions.

    I think I was one of the few people that didn't have Pitt in the final 4 in my group so it actually helped me.


    two of the biggest bonehead plays ever, back to back

    You can't criticize the Rutgers-St Johns ending AND criticize this ending. The refs were 100% correct in the Pitt-Butler game, and should be commended for officiating through the end of the game. And if you call the Butler foul, the Pitt foul had to be called as well. Both were incredibly stupid plays.

    I've never seen that called in the NBA, ever............

    You would have to stab the guy to death for it to be called and it still might not be called.

    Stupid comparison, everyone knows you don't get those calls at the end of the game, even when I played HS ball.
