No TV = ISU Victory!

[CStop]

Creighton coach Greg McDermott didn't need a warm welcome in his return to Iowa.

What he really needed was the replay he never got.

Jamie Vanderbeken hit a turnaround 3 as time expired and Iowa State stunned Creighton 91-88 in Des Moines, spoiling McDermott's return to his home state.

But photographs appeared to show that ball was still in Vanderbeken's hands when the lights went off. Since the game wasn't televised, though, replays weren't available.

It was the toughest of breaks for McDermott, who bolted for the Bluejays last spring after four disappointing seasons with the Cyclones and, ironically, scheduled the game while still at Iowa State.

"There's no monitor, so we'll never know. Actually we will know, because they counted it," McDermott said. "We had as good an officiating crew as you could ask for. If they say it counted, it counted."

That blows for Creighton. I didn't realize that there was no replay at all when the game wasn't televised. Even in football they have a couple cameras on the field.

It was in Des Moines at the newer Wells Fargo Center. You'd think they would have arena tv for suites and the videoboard.

Do you think those farmers would mortgage their John Deere's and Farms to buy suites in this economy?
