Yeah, that had shades of Duke's collapse to UCONN in the Final Four last year, but Felton, who played a great game, made a horrible decision.
For some strange reason, ESPN didn't air the game in my region of MD, but it was on a local channel that shows ACC games. If a replay of that "no-call" with Reddick was shown on ESPN, I didn't get to see it. In live action, I thought it was a good no call. I fucking hate how refs call clearly bad charging calls. It plagues NCAA Mens BBall, and it is evident in the NBA too. Reddick was playing Felton, and then once the pass was made, it looked like Reddick slid over and didn't establish position
before McCants went airborne. Regardless, Duke played very well. Ewing hit too clutch threes, and McCants couldn't connect on anything.
