This happened Monday night, but it somehow eluded my radar until yesterday. I apologize, I really haven't been dilligent enough in keeping you up-to-date on what's happening in the middle of the SWAC.

With thanks to the excellent Storming the Floor, here's a short timeline of the events at the end of the Arkansas Pine-Bluff vs. Texas Southern game:

1) Arkansas Pine-Bluff guy nails a just-inside-halfcourt shot to tie the game at the buzzer.

2) Several of the less scholarly Arkansas Pine-Bluff students rush the court, despite the fact that a) the game was not over and they had not won, b) they're 12-14, and if even they had just won, it would have been against a 7-20 team, and c) really, aren't a and b enough?

3) The official charges Arkansas Pine-Bluff with a technical foul. Texas Southern is awarded two free throws before the beginning of overtime, allowing Texas Southern to take a 2-point lead into overtime. This is rare.

4) Arkansas Pine-Bluff, naturally, loses by one point.

Said Pine-Bluff's head coach afterwards:

"You can't blame it on any one thing because we made a bushel of mistakes. But the difference in the game was the technical foul on our fans."
