Tim Higgins

Oh my word.....Did anyone see this?

1) Pretty clear foul on St John's defender when Rutgers kid drove

2) Glaringly obvious over the back(St John's player fouling Rutgers player) right after that on the attempted rebound off of the missed St John's free throw.

3) On the final play, St John's intercepted the half court throw, traveled, then went out of bounds with at LEAST 1.6 on the clock...but he probably travled before that. How is there no whistle when a guy goes out of bounds right in front of an official?

I am not from the Northeast and have exactly no rooting interest in this game.

I liked the no call on point 1. It seemed the offensive player jumped into the defensive player looking for the contact.

We've beaten this game to death on the other thread, but I hadn't seen this play mentioned. To me, this was the one great no call in the entire sequence. The defender had great position and the Rutgers kid initiated all the contact. He was trying to sell a foul, but the crew wasn't buying.

Haven't seen the plays, but judging by the comments, you're wrong on #1.
#2 indicates you're not really an official.

I thought number two was properly called as simply an out of bounds, BTW.

I thought the foul was on the long inbounds pass where it looked like the Rutgers player got clocked.

I was hoping for the "over the back" call that's being discussed, but as for the OOB at the end, I'd say their only hope is that the clock on the court is about 1.7 seconds faster than the one we're seeing on the broadcast.

Adams seems like a jerk -- praising Burr (who as the trail missed this call) and essentially throwing the other two under the bus. What's really comical is that it sounds like he commented without even seeing the play.

+1 It sounded like he was "protecting" Burr and seemed a bit too defensive IMO
