Syracuse, NY (Sports Network) - The third-ranked Syracuse Orange snuck past
the West Virginia Mountaineers, 63-61, in a controversial finish at the
Carrier Dome.
With West Virginia down by two, Darryl Bryant missed a three-pointer for the
Mountaineers. Deniz Kilicli grabbed a big offensive rebound and went up for a
layup. However, Baye Moussa Keita pinned the ball against the glass in what
seemed to be an easy goaltending call. The whistles stayed silent on the
court, though, and West Virginia kept the ball with 6.2 seconds to go.
Following a timeout, Kevin Jones' shot from beyond the arc was off the mark as
time expired.
