Samford just got royally screwed.  Didn't say who the official was, but probably one from the Big Ten.  

If they are going to review 10 million other things in the last 2 minutes of a game, they need to review foul calls too. Give the coaches the ability to challenge a foul call like the NBA does.

This is what burns me. College basketball officials will go to the monitor for damn near anything. It's exhausting. College basketball is too often a bad product, not because of the play but because of the constant stoppage. And here they have a legitimate call that needs reviewed and overturned, yet they can't act. If we're going to be overturning goaltending calls, changing three point shots to twos, let's make sure we get something this consequential correct as well.

By itself, it's such a perfect example of what's wrong with college basketball officiating. They don't call what happened, they call what they expect to happen. It's why Malik gets called for a charge when the defender runs into him with a foot in the circle, and it's why the Big Ten DPOY gets rewarded with a tie-up call, despite raking Xavier Johnson on the arm on a breakaway.
