Did anyone else watch the game? Penn State was up 2 with about 16 seconds to go and Stevens (14-17 from the line) got hacked driving to the basket. The officials ruled the ball out of bounds off Penn State. The replay clearly shows the ball went off Penn State. The replay also clearly shows the Penn State player was hacked...which I realize can't be reviewed. But it could be seen.
So Edwards drives the length of the floor and makes an uncontested layup on a moving screen by Haarms...boxing out the defender as if rebounding a missed shot. Considering what the officials just saw on the review it's easy to (correctly) call the moving screen and at least partially offset the missed call on the other end.
I realize this doesn't really impact anything. Purdue is going to finish in the top 4 and Penn State is going to finish at or near the bottom of the conference. But it was frustrating. And it also gives some perspective to our loss at Minnesota. Purdue is hot. Penn State has zero conference wins. And Purdue likely should have lost to Penn State last night.
Side Note - Purdue beat Michigan State in their previous game. I wonder what the overall conference record is for teams the game after they play Michigan State.
