Absolute garbage call which will probably steal the game from ASU.

Now, I know ASU has benefited from two bad calls so far, but this one was really egregious and went against the Devils.

Gotta love Pac 10 officiating.

Im reading a neutral (non ASU, non SC) board and they're freaking out about the call and saying ASU got screwed- so its not just us being upset. Absolute garbage.

As a Wildcat, I gotta say. You guys got hosed on that over the back call. Victims of the inept Pac 10 officiating. You had SC for most of the game

I try to never blame the refs for a loss, ASU didn't finish down the stretch and went cold for like 7 minutes. ASU went to the line twice in the game because of terrible calls that benefited them, and they didn't make all their free throws, ah well.

It certainly was a terrible call there at the end.

What you think Russ?

It looked clean to me but then I'm "watching" on yahoo's boxscore so I couldn't see it.

I will say this, UCLA fans said bad call and so did the first USC fan I saw respond, he said makeup for the last game where ASU shot so many FT's.

CLose enough loss it may not hurt ASU.

I agree that officiating shouldnt be to blame for wins and losses, but you cannot ignore impact calls like that. That call alone will probably cost you the tournament

That call was ABSOLUTLY BRUTAL...

Seriously... How can you make that call.....

I hope Sendek goes off in the postgame because when a bad call... and it wasn't even THAT CLOSE.. but when a BLATENT bad call ends your season.. there should be some sort of accoutability....

Its sickining.. no other word for it

The Devils did get robbed on that call, but just like in the NBA, when you put yourself in the position that a single call can decide a game, you have to look at how you got into that situation in the first place. Still think ASU has a chance of getting into the tourney, but you never know.

ASU didn't play well down the stretch at all, so it isn't completely all on that moronic call at the end.

Bad call, but ASU going ice cold for the last eight minutes is what cost them the game.

They still should be in regardless unless a bunch of crazy things happen over the next few days. The only way I could've seen them getting bounced is if USC blew them out which obbviously didn't happen.
