Villonova's Game Against Georgetown Ends In Heartbreak

The 8th ranked Georgetown Men's Basketball team won against Villanova in a lucky game deciding whistle that blew with one second left on the clock. Georgetown's Jonathan Wallace was dribbling 70 feet from the basket when he heard the whistle. It was only a nudge and nothing that was going to impact the game from going to overtime. Although there was no complaints from Villanova's Corey Stokes, the foul shouldn't have been called. That's the part of the game that the whistles shouldn't be used because it isn't fair to both teams that play their hearts out. A fair game would have been decided in overtime and not on a cheap call. Georgetown is already good and they don't need any help from anybody. Villanova's coach Jay Wright said that he couldn't complain about the call because he didn't see the play. I don't understand how you can't see the play when your looking right at the play at the end of the game. Not that complaining would have done something but at least stating your case would be better than nothing.
