UC gets two last second free throws from Lance Stephenson to lift them over #10 UCONN. UC actually led the majority of this game by a good margin and nearly lost it at the end. Great win over a top ten ranked team at home. It was a little like the old days at the Shoe.

Don't agree with the foul call on the last play. It was a foul, but there is NO WAY you make that call. Let the game go to OT and let the teams decided who wins. One hell of a game though, Cronin definitely has the Cats on the right track, IMO.

I agree. Hated to see this game end on the line like that.

You have to call it at some point or else in that situation the defensive player might as well tackle the guy. Stephenson got hacked by three different guys on that play. They could have called the foul with about three seconds on the clock.

Then they should have called Stephenson for an offensive foul for pushing off before he started his drive.

If it's a foul it's a foul regardless of time left on the clock! The game didn't need to go into OT, the players decided it already by fouling Stephenson!

A foul at the beginning of the game is a foul at the end of game.

Just because you have played 39:59 doesn't mean you can foul someone without it being called.

That doesn't make any sense at all if it was a foul then it should have been called. A foul is a foul.
