From my vantage point (press table, mid court, on the floor):

Huntington made a free throw to put themselves up 48-46 with 10 seconds left. EC inbounded and raced up the floor and tried to penetrate to draw a foul. Ball was knocked out of bounds off of Huntington but the clock hit zero when ball went out of bounds. Several folks thought the game was over (particularly Huntington folks). Officials came together and decided that there was .5 seconds left on clock. During that discussion lot's of tempers were flaring from all sides. Once it was determined that time was still left and EC would inbounds under their own basket, Huntington coach was on the court trying to instruct his team to defend the inbounds play. While doing this he got a little far out on the floor and an official was encouraging him to get back on the sideline. Words were then fired back and forth from the head coach to an assistant for EC. It got really heated and the Huntington coach lost his cool and received a technical foul. That sent an EC player to the line and he made both free throws to tie the game at 48.

This didn't sit well with the Huntington coach, team and it's fans. Things really started getting out of hand and some fans were escorted out. Things got very chaotic and with the officials and school admins trying to get some order. Before play would resume, Huntington coach received a 2nd technical foul which sent EC back to the line to shoot two more free throws. Player made both. By this time things were just about out of control. Huntington players were very distraught. EC inbounded with no defense by Huntington. Game ended. EC won 50-48.

It was a terrible way for this game to end. Huntington did not deserve to lose this way and I know EC wasn't too thrilled about winning in this manner. Just a complete shame that such a good game ended this way.

Needless to say that Huntington will not be returning tomorrow for Gold 3rd place game vs. Vidor.

I really hate it ended this way.

Pretty wild. Still, sounds like some self-inflicted wounds when they had the game wrapped up
