St. Johns-Rutgers Big East debacle

I just saw the end of the St. Johns v. Rutgers Big East Tournament game and this ending is an absolute disgrace. It was almost as if the officials were getting paid to thrown the game. Not only was Rutgers not getting obvious foul calls at the end of the game but the St. Johns player CLEARLY steps out of bounds with 1.9 seconds left and then throws the ball into the stands. The officials promptly ran off the court despite attempted pleas from the Rutgers players. Even if the officials somehow did not notice that the St. Johns player was out of bounds how the hell do they not go to video for review? They review every miniscule call and they decide not to review this?

The Big East needs to get these two teams back on the court right now and finish this game, otherwise they will face great embarassment. And...if they do go back on the court...would there be a technial foul for the St. Johns player throwing the ball in the stands? We'll see how this plays out...
