Jeff Capel stood dumbfounded, his arms extended while he tried to digest what had just happened.<\/p>\n
The Pittsburgh men\u2019s basketball coach thought his team had five minutes of overtime coming up against Notre Dame in the first round of the ACC Tournament, but the referees had called a controversial foul that put the Fighting Irish at the line with 0.5 seconds remaining Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe didn\u2019t touch him,\u201d Capel seemed to say.<\/p>\n
Notre Dame beats Pitt 55-54 in the ACC Tournament first round\u2026 on a very controversial call. ACC Network’s Wes Durham, Cory Alexander, and Jim Boeheim couldn’t believe it. \ud83c\udfc0\ud83e\udd93\ud83c\udf99\ufe0f #MarchMadness pic.twitter.com\/1TycuOrLKb\u2014 Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) March 11, 2025<\/p>\n
One made free throw later and the Panthers\u2019 NCAA Tournament hopes had died with a 55-54 loss to the 12th-seeded Fighting Irish in Charlotte that perturbed many due to the ticky-tack nature of the call.<\/p>\n
Capel appeared to use a curse to describe the \u201chorrible\u201d foul while he chased after the referees following the final buzzer before pulling back one of his players amid a conversation with an official.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really hated the way it ended,\u201d Capel said after the game. \u201cI\u2019ve been coaching for 25 years. The worst way I\u2019ve ever seen to end a ball game. I still can\u2019t believe it, shocked at how it ended for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Notre Dame had possession in a 54-54 game with less than four seconds when a miss careened toward Pittsburgh\u2019s Zack Austin and Notre Dame\u2019s Tae Davis.<\/p>\n
Davis corralled the ball mid-air and hoisted a shot that missed, but a few whistles rung out inside the Spectrum Center after the buzzer sounded.<\/p>\n
Even one of the announcers said \u201cwe get overtime\u201d before realizing a foul had been called.<\/p>\n
As the referees looked at the clock, the ACC Network broadcast showed replays of play.<\/p>\n
Austin made minimal contact with Davis on the play while they both jumped for the rebound, but it did not seem he affected Davis\u2019 shot.<\/p>\n
Hall of Famer and former Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim disagreed with the ruling.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo foul,\u201d Boehim said. \u201cThere is no foul.\u201d<\/p>\n
He later said: \u201cI mean, was there any contact?\u201d<\/p>\n
Fans booed when the referees ruled Notre Dame would shoot free throws, and Davis made the first before missing the second.<\/p>\n
Austin, a senior, pulled his jersey over his head and then exited the court with his head still in his jersey and his hands over his eyes while teammates consoled him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just hurt, man,\u201d Austin said while crying at the podium. \u201cI\u2019m hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pittsburgh star sophomore guard Jaland Lowe walked with an official after the game and seemed to be giving him the business before Capel intervened.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m in disbelief, I\u2019m hurt,\u201d Lowe said. \u201cNobody should have to go out like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Notre Dame faces No. 5 seed North Carolina in the second round Wednesday, while Pittsburgh \u2014\u00a0ranked as high as No. 18 after a 7-1 start this season \u2014 has now missed the NCAA tournament for two straight seasons.<\/p>\n
