There were 36.3 seconds remaining and the Syracuse Orange trailed the Georgetown Hoyas 71-70 in its matchup in the Carrier Dome on Saturday afternoon.
Georgetown’s Jagan Mosely collected a Tyus Battle miss to give the Hoyas possession of the ball — a 6.3-second difference between shot clock and game clock. Jim Boeheim had a decision to make: foul and send Mosely to the free throw line for two shots or defend without fouling and try to get a stop.
Boeheim threw his hands into the air, telling his team not to foul.
