I rarely criticize Raftery, but here's one. None of the replays was shown at-regular-speed-with-sound. Raf can count steps all he wants, but it means nothing without hearing when the whistle came. And the whistle came long before he got to three in his one-two-three.
When looking at this situation, you have to take into account the time and score. In that situation, you have to be sure. You have to be sure. And when you have to slow it down and review it several times, you cannot have been sure enough to blow.
I agree with Tony one hundred percent: he anticipated something that never came.
Great game. Congratulations to UNC on a very hard-earned victory, and to Villanova for the gamest of efforts.
