What was worse? The officiating in the STJ-Rutgers game or SA Handicap?

The St. Johns game by far. Especially when the number on the game was 128 1/2.

Do you really think that was why the refs blew that call?

The fouls on Kennedy and the "over-the-back" are debateable. Anybody who says anything to the contrary didn't watch a second of the rest of that game, where Rutgers made a living going "over the back" on putbacks.

The last two seconds being completely botched like that are inexcusable though, and Higgins, Burr, and Earl Watson have been removed from the rest of the BET for their actions. Still, it's freaking Rutgers, there's as much a chance that I'm going to make out with Ali Larter tonight as there was for Rutgers to figure out how to win a game from half court with 1.7 seconds on the clock.

With or without the number being what it was, the amount of calls that were missed in that last 30 seconds to a minute was ridiculous. I just found it interesting about the over/under. I didn't lose any money or lose any sleep over what happened.

I agree. I saw at least 5 mistakes that were blatant in the last minute (and that's coming from someone that used to ref games).
