N.J. Now In Charge Of NCAA Timing

While Temple lost earlier today, the hopes for one local women’s team could be improving. You see, a New Jersey state lawmaker is going to investigate a Rutgers loss earlier this year where there was a bad foul call!

Rutgers, who lost to Tennessee in last year’s NCAA Final and later had all its team members brutally murdered by Don Imus, lost the rematch this year on a foul called after time expired because the clock froze at 0.2 seconds. Tennessee hit a pair of free throws and the Vols won. To recap: The refs screwed up back on Feb. 11, some N.J. lawmaker just wants to investigate it now so the NCAA can, I ‘unno, give Rutgers a better seed all of a sudden.

Robert W. Singer is going to solve this huge problem and will probably not get any criticism for it. “It was an exciting game, and you know, you win some, you lose some,” he said. “That’s not the issue. The issue is with today’s technology there should be a better way to do it.” He actually wants the game overturned and the win given to Rutgers!

“This is not the most pressing issue, but it’s something to me that’s an issue that we can take care of and we can send a resolution,” he said. “Not a big deal to do, but it sends a message the state would like to take a look at it.”

Yes, the State of New Jersey should be investigating all NCAA clock violations. I believe those powers are enumerated to them in the U.S. Constitution.
