Two Millers had a chance to get to the last four teams to play this season in men's college basketball...
And neither will get to North Dallas...
Archie Miller and his Dayton Flyers lost by ten to Florida, 62-52, so Billy Donovan and the Gators go...
In the last game of the night, Sean Miller had a chance to get there- first surviving regulation with Wisconsin and playing another five minutes. But, the extra five ended really goofy...
An offensive foul call down one led to an inbounds pass that had a 37-minute review before a reversal that gave Arizona another chance at getting the game-winner...
Actually, in all fairness, the review wasn't 37 minutes... but it seemed that long...
But they did get it right...
But, more interestingly, the offensive foul call was the more debatable of the two calls by officials late-late-late in the free hoops portion of the program...
Props to Bo Ryan and to the B1G- the conference has a team in the last three games of the year for the 11th time in last 16 years - but Michigan State in 2000 is the only team to get a title...

DEVELOPING: Rush Resigns From Pac-12
Not that this is any kind of a surprise...
Supervisor of Officials Ed Rush has resigned after the allegations of having a discussion with his own officials about giving a cash bonus or a trip to Mexico for ringing up Arizona head coach Sean Miller...
The subsequent technical foul was party to a 2-point loss to UCLA during the conference tourney... after the alleged discussion between Rush and his officials...
Miller was hot afterwards...

The Pac-12 released the standard amount of prepared statements:
In accepting Rush’s resignation, Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said, “I want to express my appreciation for the great contribution Ed made to basketball officiating for the Conference during his tenure, particularly in the area of training and the cultivation of new officiating talent. All of us at the Conference thank him for his years of hard work, and we wish him well.”
"I would like to thank the Pac-12 for giving me the opportunity to lead a group of officials who are working so hard to make the Pac-12 the best officiated conference in college basketball,” said Rush. “My first and highest concerns have always been the integrity of the game of basketball and the honor of the craft of officiating. While I am proud of what we have accomplished, my decision to resign reflects my strong desire to see the Pac-12 officiating program continue to grow and thrive," concluded Rush.
Here was Scott addressing the issue before the ending...
