    I know this is non LSU but Rutgers got robbed. The clock was winding down with UT down one and the clock operated magical stop the clock at .2 for about a half a second and allowed the Tennessee girl to shoot. She missed but was fouled. Shoots 2 and wins the games. I'm glad the SEC won and all but, damn, I would be raising all hell if I were Rutgers.

    I've seen Tennessee get these kind of calls all the time. I don't think the refs realized the clock stopped. They were just trying to see if the foul occured before the buzzer. Tennessee home cooking.

    Rutgers got screwed for sure, but I didn't want our ladies to face Tennessee at home following a loss.

    I don't really care, but I did watch the end. It was grossly obvious that the clock stopped at .2 until Tenn got 1 more shot or was fouled. ESPN announcers mentioned it and showed it 10 times, but never really had the guts to say it was a home cooking screw job. Everybody's so scared of Pat Summitt I guess. I'll be looking to hear what she says about it. She's a great coach and class act, let's see if she at least admits they got away with one.

    Maybe Don Imus was running the clock?

    Yeah but you cant give the refs a pass either, they looked at instant replay and still got it wrong!

    One of the worst screw jobs I have ever seen. It really wasn't even close.

    I don't think I'd have seen the clock pause on 0.2 secs if the tv announcer hadn't pointed it out. It was a clear cut foul but probably came after time should have expired. Once Viv Stringer realizes how she was screwed, I don't want to be in that room. :shock:

    ESPN just replayed the finish. The last 0.2 seconds took 1.3 seconds to play. Who was controlling the clock? :nope:
