Wow.
Georgetown is my champion...they almost ruined my weekend.
How is it that everyone except Packer and Nantz saw Green walk on the last shot. I understand they have a difficult angle but don't they have TVs or at least the ability to watch it on the big screen. I was pulling for Georgetown but that walk was blatant.
Sorry but you're wrong.
Gumbel, Davis, and Kellogg were all unanimous on this one. Green established his pivot foot and then picked it up to pivot on the other foot.From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In basketball, traveling is a violation of the rules that occurs when a player holding the ball illegally moves one or both of his feet. Most commonly, a player travels by illegally moving his pivot foot or taking too many steps without dribbling the ball.

It sure looked like he travelled but you could be right. I'll have to check out the replay again.
USC with a great first half have a 9 point lead on North Carolina.
USC on their way to choking away a 16 point second half lead on UNC.
North Carolina knocks off SC. Huge chokejob there. Probably worse than that of Tennessee.

It's like they just gave up when Gibson got his 4th foul. They weren't getting back on defense, and they were lagging around on offense.
