Akingbade works free again underneath and makes a nice layup. 38-31 GW, and Jim Baron is not pleased.
Baron and Hobbs have to be near the top of the Most Active In Game rankings among the A-10 coaches.
Rice still can't get a bucket, as Mbang skies to block his driving layup.
Media timeout with 3:38 to go after some roughhousing under the Rhode Island basket. The refs are talking it over, which is never a good thing.
They are off to the scorer's table to report their decision... and now they step away and go back to talking to each other. What is this, a Supreme Court decision?
It might be, as we now have five people in the discussion -- three refs and two head coaches. Four more to go. I'll volunteer, anyone else want to join?
Finally, they break it up. "Do you know what the hell they called?" a writer from the Rhode Island student paper next to me asks.
I have no idea. But apparently the public address announcer does:
"The result of the play is a foul on No. 23 Regis Koundjia. There is also a technical foul on number 23, Regis Koundja. He has three personal fouls and there are seven team fouls on George Washington."
Okay then.
Mbang hits the two shooting FTs. Now Jimmy Baron comes to the line for the technical free throws, makes the first and misses the second. But he gets the ball back to inbound it at midcourt. 40-34 GW.
