Pittsburgh beat Rutgers 71-60 tonight. 4 Thoughts.
The Awful Foul Call Changed the Game: You can say whatever you want about not blaming the refs, but the call when McConnell got elbowed in the head while arm-barred by the screener and still got called for the foul changed everything. Rutgers came out with their hair on fire, and played really tough, strong basketball. The defense was working hard and the offense was running well. Then, McConnell ended up with his second foul and things fell apart. Want proof? To start the second half, McConnell came back in and Rutgers went on a 10-0 run to take the lead.
