The absolute worst officiating I have EVER seen in the final few seconds of the game. Rutgers down 1 point and St. Johns shooting free throws. The free throw is missed and St Johns player obviously came over the back to force the Rutgers player to lose the ball out of bounds and no foul call. Ball to St Johns they inbound and get foulded. The player makes 1 of 2 to put St Johns up by 2. Rutgers in bounds to ball and throw it just past half court and St Johns breaks it up and the St Johns player first walks no call, then steps out of bounds with 1.7 seconds left no call and heaves the ball into the stands no call. The officials absolutely put their whistles in their pockets and completely lost control of the game. I guess the Big East brass decided long ago they wanted a St Johns / Syracuse game in the Garden tomorrow. Pathetic Officiating cost Rutgers a chance at a victory. I am still trying to understand if a foul is a foul 2 seconds into the game then why is a foul not a foul with 2 seconds left in the game?
On this topic:
Selection Sunday should be very easy. Either The Big East is the Greatest Basketball Conference in America or the most over-rated. South Florida and their 3-15 Big East record and 10-22 overall record takes out Villanova, Rutgers and their 5-13 Big East record and 15-17 overall record take St John to the limit. Either put them all in or just let the conference tourney champion in the big dance. They may have 6 teams in the Elite 8 or only 1, who knows.
