I generally think way too many charges are called in college b-ball, and the help defender sliding in and falling down being rewarded drives me nuts. That said, we’ve lost on bad charging calls enough times that we were owed one.

And the GTown player had both hands on the ball and lowered his shoulder like a halfback. All they had to do was run the shotclock another 5 seconds and shoot right at the buzzer, and Cuse would’ve had less than 5 seconds to get the rebound and go the length of the court.

I was impressed with how GTown regrouped after going from up 15 to down 6, and took the lead back in the final minutes. They were one dumb play away from winning that one.

Battle has a history of hitting big ones.
