The most questionable call in USC-ASU game was by Tim Floyd
We've seen Tim Floyd displeased before, but Sunday night at Arizona State was one of his most epic tirades. Trailing by six, the Trojans had the ball and 48 seconds left in the game when point guard Daniel Hackett collided with the Sun Devils' Jamelle McMillan. One official apparently signaled blocking against ASU. Another official overruled him and signaled a charge on USC.
Then Floyd sent some signals of his own.
He yelled, he stomped and he may have even brushed into a referee. The performance earned him an ejection and a double technical foul. ASU's Derek Glasser sank the first three of his four free throws to put the game out of reach.
Of course, 48 seconds is an eternity in a close basketball game -- especially when you've still got a timeout. Had Floyd kept quiet, Arizona State would have taken the ball but no foul shots. Had Floyd studied his USC history, he might have remembered a night 10 years ago when the Trojans were trailing by five on the road at Oregon. Adam Spanich nailed a pair of three-pointers in the final 2.8 seconds to complete one of the most unbelievable comebacks in college basketball history.
Unfortunately for USC, Sunday's game isn't history yet.
