Just started watching this elite 16 matchup and you know it's bad when the announcers are trying to cover for the officials. Here's the situation: Gonzaga scores an and 1 and heads to the line for the free throw. Lead official is standing on the free throw lane line talking with one of the Xavier players and sure enough, Gonzaga misses the FT. Lead official rebounds the ball (LMAO).
C and T blow their whistles and decide to go with the arrow
Announcers tried to cover by saying there was a double violation so the officials went to the arrow. Uh, nope, no violation whistle at all. Just a really embarrassing situation that all of us hope won't happen to us, especially during a nationally televised tournament.
