... completely ruined an otherwise classic (note: overstatement) Big East contest by calling a foul with 0.1 seconds left, about 200 yards from the basket. We all felt cheated. It sucked.

This is radio play-by-play man Rich Chvotkin calling the last few seconds of the miscarriage of justice that was the Georgetown/Villanova game. In case the video leaves it unclear, Chvotkin is the Hoyas play-by-play guy, not 'Nova's. With big thanks to the always-wonderful DC Sports Bog: I'm sorry, sir, what was that you were saying about someone getting fouled? Would you mind repeating that? Hysterical.

... UAB, UConn beating South Florida at the buzzer and Xavier squeaking by Charlotte, but, for all intents and purposes, Georgetown is VERY lucky to not have a home L to Villanova on its resume. Let's take another look at that absolutely awful foul call 70 feet from the basketball with under a second left that got the Hoyas the win, complete with play-by-play from clinically insane announcer Rich Chvotkin, who I'm going to assume is loosely affiliated with Georgetown University. ...
