Marquette/Providence

[mbyron]

I saw the play live. The defender brought his hand up and clipped the shooter in the eye. The foul was called, and a sub shot the FT's.

The brother was on the court during the first FT, which was good, and the officials counted it. I suppose it would have been "disconcerting" had the thrower missed. The C official must have seen him come onto the court, and I was surprised that he didn't suspend play.

It was a little weird. Marquette took their players off the court while security removed the fan.

I think the officials handled the entire situation exactly right.
