Wednesday night, the Citadel Bulldogs mounted a furious second-half comeback, that combined with a slow-down by the Catamounts to eat time off the clock, resulted in a 66-68 victory by the Bulldogs.
The Cats led 66-64 with 16 seconds on the clock and put the ball in play with Cameron Bacote throwing the ball into Nicholas Robinson who was immediately double-teamed and trapped in the corner. Then the Citadels' Rudy Fitzgibbone who was behind Robinson, reached around Robinson with both arms (essentially a hear hug from behind, lifting Robinson off the floor), and the official rather than calling a foul on Fitzgibbone, called a jump ball, and the alternate possession arrow game the ball to the Citadel.
The Citadel put the ball in play and Brown was able to make a layup tying the game, and a foul was called (a review of the tape shows no one touched Brown as he shot).
Great officials that the SoCon hires...
