Did anyone just see the St. Johns vs Rutgers game?

Oh c'mon - uncalled fouls happen on every other possession. That hardly makes for a travesty. Nobody would've said a thing about uncalled fouls had the screwup at the very end not happened. There damn sure wouldn't be a thread around here on it.

And throwing the ball into the stands gets called as a technical about once a year. The fact that a kid thought the game was over and slung one out of bounds clearly doesn't qualify. Further, all technicals are at a ref's discretion and if there's no intent behind the act, the technical isn't appropriate.

Had Rutgers hit a miracle 3, they'd have won. That's it - the fouls are what they are, I'm sure there were uncalled fouls in favor of Rutgers previously. I'm not going to get up in arms about them. And even if Rutgers hits the shot, do you honestly think they were going to beat Pitt?

It's much ado about nothing. Bad call, but ultimately inconsequential. I'd be furious were I a fan of Rutgers, but I'm not - so I don't care.
