Are you sure that was a blarge or just two different calls that were both not fouls? I think this was a call for a jump ball and a blocking foul. Unfortunately in the angle they showed you could not see the both officials.

Peace

C immediately whistled and pointed the other way (and started walking). L has a fist up and then prelims with a block.

Make it three in one week. There was a "blarge" in the Seton Hall v. Marquette game Wednesday night, too. Less than 2 minutes to play, Seton Hall player drives from mid court to just outside right block. Marquette defender shuts him off and there is contact.

Mike Kitts was the L, who had block, while Ray Perone, the T, had a charge. Tim Higgins, the C, let them settle it.
Perrone went to the video replay before awarding the ball to Marquette. Announcers said via AP arrow, but I am not sure of that as I was watching game in crowded and loud establishment.

They had trouble with the AP arrow early in the second half, too.

It happens to the best, not just those of us who aspire to be like them.

3 in a week? Maybe they should stop the clock with a fist before calling the foul? It'll be interested to see if the NCAA sends out a memo about the blarge. Those of you hooked in could let us know if it happens.
