The most exciting matchup of the Connecticut-Pittsburgh fracas tonight was clearly DeJuan Blair vs. Hasheem Thabeet. Both big men, combined, have pulled down 23.1 rebounds and blocked 5.2 shots per game heading into the contest. It would likely be a battle. But I don't think anyone expected to see a Royal Rumble move (albeit an accidental one) busted out, when, just three minutes into the game, Blair accidentally (I think) flipped Thabeet to the floor.

Other than grab his arm and flip him over his back?
The video doesn't lie.

Accident? That was the most blatant and flagrant foul I've seen in college ball - He should have been ejected.

This was clearly an intentional foul that wasn't called. Blair had already one personal foul. It not changed the tempo of the game. Blair should have had two personals early in the 1st half. Agressive play was permitted from that point forward. I think they still call them flagrant fouls. I saw the replay over and over. Now Blair is a hero and Thabeet a wimp. A terrible message sent to the league and other teams having to play Pittsburgh.
