Squawking in the NCAA

It hasn't been a good year for Seattle. First the Super Bowl. Tonight, the University of Washington fell to those other Huskies from UConn in overtime. There was a lot of officiating in this game. I can't say whether the forty-seven UConn free throws were justified, because CBS insisted on showing me Georgetown versus Florida. But where were these whistle-happy officials when Brandon Roy's go-ahead floater was knocked from the sky on its way down? The CBS announcer detected it in real time (and the replay obviously confirmed it), but the guys in stripes were silent. That's a game changer, if you ask me.

I also thought that the foul called against Justin Dentmon for having a left foot, which sent him from the game and Denham Brown to the free throw line in place of Marcus Williams, who had hurt himself running into Dentmon's appendage, was pretty silly. But hey, what do I know?
