With0:39 second to go in a ties game, Syracuse forward Rick Jackson grabbed an offensive rebound and drove to the basket and threw up a terrible shot, Connecticut rebounded. But the refs blew the whistle saying that Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim had called a timeout before Jackson put up the shot. Replays showed that he did in fact request a time out before the ball was released, but the timeout was not GRANTED until the ball was in the air, and you have to have possession of the ball to call a time out. It was almost as thought he official wanted to give the shot a chance to go in, and when it didn’t, he decided to blow the whistle and give it back to the Orange. This lead to Syracuse getting the ball back, and then scoring and winning the game. UCONN got screwed again second later when they fouled a poor shooter right away, but the refs sent the wrong guy to the line….a 75% shooter to the line, and the game was over. Connecticut reallt needs wins to make the tournament, and tonight’s jam job at Syracuse will not help.
