Big East Blunder: Saint John’s Escapes

The ending of this game ranks among the worst-officiated you’ll ever see.

Brownlee intercepts a pass on the heave into the frontcourt. That’s fine. He then travels, steps out of bounds and chucks the ball into the seats. All of it happened with time left on the clock. As the ESPN analysts point out, there’s still 1.7 seconds showing as the ball gets sent into the crowd. No technical foul? No turnover?

No, just a tepid two-line comment from the Big East office to acknowledge the error. Pathetic.
