Video request: Xavier beats Creighton on final drive/foul

[Amesman]

Oh, Ru-u-u-u-t ... (or anyone else with video snipping abilities),

Thoughts on the final drive that drew a foul call as Xavier sank 2 FTAs with 0.3 seconds left to win by 1 on Saturday?

Lead rotated over in mid-play to emphatically call a block from behind that will no doubt have tongues wagging in more than Nebraska. (Game just ended and need better looks.)

Thoughts?

Apparently there also was a foul called on Xavier hitting a Creighton 3-pt shooter relatively lightly (?) just a moment earlier (I was out of the room), and the Creighton shooter hit all 3 FTAs to put his team up 71-70 to set up the final drama. Both plays worth a look?

It's a secondary defender in transition that came from L's primary. I believe that is 100% his call under men's college mechanics.

It was a foul, and hats off to him for having the stones to call it. I'd probably be emphatic, too, if I was calling a foul in a 1-point game with 0.3 left.

I will get this later tonight or early tomorrow. I did not record the game but it is coming on several times tonight. I will see if I can get this play outside of a highlight.

Peace

He pinched the paint and made the decision mid lane. Absolutely fantastic mechanic, there.

And I think it was a foul, too.

The other one was a touch foul on an airborne shooter's non shooting arm after the shot was released. Someone smarter than me will have to tell me if they want that called in the name of protecting a shooter.

If it was a foul during the game, it is a foul with 1 second remaining in the game. Great call by the official. No LGP!!!!

that's not a foul, player went straight up, both of them, perfectly legal. only thing approaching a foul , and it wasn't either, was the off arm of the driver. clearly bad call.
