Foul call on Creighton player in final moments of Elite Eight game vs San Diego State sparks debate

Darrion Trammell lifted San Diego State to the Final Four over Creighton, but was the foul call to send him to the line the right one? Twitter debated the call on Sunday.

San Diego State guard Darrion Trammell drew a foul with less than 2 seconds left in the Elite Eight matchup against Creighton and made one free throw to send the Aztecs to the Final Four.

Creighton guard Ryan Nembhard appeared to grab Trammell’s hip as he went up for a running jumper. An official called a foul and allowed Trammell to get a chance to win the game. He missed the first free throw but made the second to put San Diego State up 57-56.
