Georgetown beat Villanova in an ugly game last night -and when we say ugly, we're talking Chuck Hayes free throw ugly. The game was ultimately decided on a horrific call 75 feet from the basket with on tenth of a second left on the clock. The clip below is the ESPN highlight package which includes the play, along with Jay Bilas, Sean McDonough and Bill Raftery discussing how bad the refs blew it. In addition to being right, that 3 man announcing crew has always been a personal favorite of this idiot, and they proved again last night why they are so good - they don't pull punches and call an even game.
What makes the call interesting from a Syracuse perspective is the news that Mike Waters posted yesterday saying that the head of officiating for the NCAA thought that Roy Hibbert fouled Jonny Flynn a few weeks ago. To date Georgetown has now won at least two Big East games with a little help from the zebras and they are on their way to putting together a UConn football like season in terms of getting favorable calls that decide games.
Anyway, since it's an ESPN clip, I can't imagine it will be up very long before being yanked off YouTube, but I'm going to post it anyway, enjoy it while it lasts.
