I was watching this game while on the phone with my life-long buddy who lives in Chapel Hill, (I live in Fresno, CA) and we BOTH saw this; we both screamed "TRAVEL!" (So I know I'm not losing my mind) And so far, no one else on planet Earth has mentioned it:
Very late in the game (sorry, didn't record it) with maybe 1 minute left, and Villanova gets a rebound about 5 feet from the basket on the near side to the TV camera. Villanova player is looking for an outlet pass, and doesn't get one for about 4 seconds. He's beginning to lose his balance, and DRAGGED his pivot foot! the PbP guys didn't see it, no ref called it, but Greg and I saw it!! Very soon afterward, the travel call that wasn't a travel was called (that we are all discussing here); we both said "Make-up call" which we all know wasn't true, but we were still incredulous that they missed the dragged pivot foot.
Plus, I haven't seen anyone ask about it on this board. Were we dreaming?
BTW, I am an 8-year BB official. And, as you can see, a Tar Heel fan.
