The Rutgers women endured another terrible injustice, being robbed of a victory over Tennessee, on the road.
They had a 1-point lead when Tennessee tried two shots, both misses. Nikki Anosike (it rhymes) grabbed the rebound with about 0.5 seconds on the clock, she landed, jumped and got fouled with only 0.3 seconds coming off the clock.
Clearly the clock stopped at 0.2 and that extra time allowed Tennessee to get fouled.
The subsequent free throws won the game for Tennessee.
This was clearly nefarious clock work not just a simple malfunction. And to make it worse, the chickenshit refs reviewed the last play but didn't reverse because they didn't want to get killed by angry Tennessee fans.
This game was over before the foul was committed and the NCAA should review this game and grant Rutgers a win or at the very least invalidate the results of this game as if it were never even played.
Note: I wanted to post this yesterday but couldn't find the right video to illustrate it. If the above youtube clip doesn't satisfy you try the game highlights from ESPN.
