What did everyone think about the foul call Tim Higgins made with about 4 minutes to go? Louisville had a backcourt trap, and Higgins called the 5th personal on Francisco Garcia from C. A couple of replays showed that Garcia didn't touch the WVU player. Did I miss something, or did Higgins miss it?
The first view from the sideline camers showed Garcia whacking him. The replay from the endline camera had the contact hidden behind the WVa player. I thought it was a good call by Higgins, and a dumb foul by Garcia.
I rewound the tape and watched it a few times. He grabs the WVA player on the forearm and quickly lets go right at the start of the trap.

I thought Higgins had an outstanding game, and I'm not normally a fan of his, so that is about as objective as it gets.
He bailed out his partners twice IMO. His best call was the shove against a Louisville player just before the offensive rebound came to him while he was on the opposite block. Higgins was Lead and the C didn't have it.
