The officiating crew of Ruben Ramos, Randy McCall and Bobby McRoy said: nothing.

It was a lot like the no-call that occurred last week in the Maui Invitational championship game, when Gonzaga's Robert Sacre hacked Cincinnati's Yancy Gates as

Gates tried to finish a lob play.

A ref's job is to enforce the rulebook consistently and fairly for 40 minutes, not for 39 minutes and 55 seconds.

When an official ignores an obvious violation of the rules, he is deciding the game's outcome.

Go ahead, ask Thierry Henry.

Nice. I would've liked to have seen if Yancy would've mad the free throws. I think he would have and we would have one the Maui Invitional... The only good that came out of this is that picture of the cats accepting their 2nd place trophy!!! I think that loss will do a lot of good this year in the Hate to Lose mentality that I see this team developing.. we do not have to worry about late season fatigue.. This team is deep and talented combined with a hate to lose mentality.. Now I want them to not only beat X but STOMP their Throats!!!
