There was less than one second to play, and Georgetown's Jonathan Wallace was dribbling 70 feet from the basket when he heard the whistle. He wondered what was up. After all, there's no way a referee would call a foul in that situation, right? Guess again. "At first I thought I stepped out of bounds," Wallace said, "because I was trying to make a play with the time running down. But I did kind of (feel a) nudge when I was trying to turn the corner." "So," Wallace shrugged, "a call's a call." And he's not about to raise a fuss over it. That "nudge" was a bump from Villanova's Corey Stokes, the 48th foul called in a frustrating, stop-and-start game. Wallace hit both free throws with one-tenth of a second on the clock to give the No. 8 Hoyas a 55-53 victory Monday night, their first home win over the Wildcats in more than a decade. "Wallace was dribbling, and the ref called a foul," said Stokes, who became the game's fourth player to foul out on the play. "What are you going to do?"</div> No doubt about it, I'm gonna bitch about this. What the hell, refs? I've watched it over and over and over again. There was no foul. Those refs are f***ing retarded. That ref should be fired for making such an idiotic call.
Even if there was a foul, it shouldn't have been called. Not with .1 seconds left IN A TIED GAME!!! Jesus, send that to overtime and let it be decided there.
I completely agree that that should have been a no-call. One really has to question how that was a foul, but the drive on the previous possession wasn't. Game should have gone to OT. Poor officiating - the refs decided the game.
No doubt about it. I'm a big Georgetown fan, but that was ridiculous. There's no doubt that the game should have went into OT. Ref's need to swallow their whistles in situations like that, especially when there was no foul to begin with. I'll take the win, but not with pride.
