Hatred before haltime

  • Head coach Joe Scott and the rest of the Tigers stalk of the court in an absolute fury of rage after the refs make an extremely questionable call to end the half. With just over three seconds left in the half, the Jaspers took control and pushed the ball downcourt. When it seemed as though the ball-handler had no time to do anything but shoot the ball, he instead fired a bullet pass into the hands of a cutting Dubois, who tossed a layup up and in. But it was almost certain that the buzzer had sounded before the ball left Dubois' hands.
  • The entire Tiger bench jumped up at once, collectively signaling that there was no way the basket should count. After a delay, one ref pointed his finger emphatically downward to indicate that the basket would count, and the Manhattan faithful at Draddy Gymnasium erupted.
  • Scott walks off the court with his face turning red chewing out the refs as Owings runs over and pleads his case with another ref.
  • To no avail, Jaspers lead 20-14 at halftime. Big play.
