Any updates or insights as to what actually caused the mystery time-out?

Eggleston called time out as he was on the floor. What else are you looking for?

Savage and Sadak, as well as many forum posters, said that neither Eggleston nor Allen called a TO, with the implication that an official accidentally recognized a TO called by a bench player, or something like that.

Allen didn't call time out. Eggleston did, on the ground facing the official by the Penn bench. Watch that ref point to the sidelines to stop play as soon as Eggleston makes the T signal and calls time.

You can't see it from the TV angle but from my elevated view behind the Princeton bench I clearly saw Eggleston bring his hands together.

Dick Jerardi describes the scene well:

"Penn ran a fake dribble handoff. Rosen came past Jack Eggleston, but Eggleston kept the ball and headed for the rim. He stumbled to the floor and called timeout, a timeout Penn did not have with 16 seconds left."

Maybe Eggelston watches too many ESPN telecasts and he heard the voice of Dickie V in his head. "It's time for a TEE-OHH baby!"

I would be curious to know if Eggleston has denied calling the timeout.

Matt,

I didn't record Penn's postgame (though I was in attendance), but the Daily Pennsylvanian does confirm:

Robert,

Today I had a chance to review footage of the Penn possession at the end of overtime that ended with a technical foul. The footage was shot from the bench side of Jadwin Gym and clearly shows the following:

1. Jack Eggleston brings his hands together trying to call a time out with the ball in his hands looking up/out at the referee.

2. Zack Rosen, standing right next to official Louie Andrakakos, turns to him and simultaneously says "time out." Andrakakos recognizes both of these gestures, blows his whistle and points to the Penn bench to stop the clock.

3. Doug Davis deserves a huge amount of credit. I did not realize it was his swipe on Eggleston's drive that initially knocked the ball loose. Davis makes this play while never leaving Rosen on the perimeter. Excellent defense.

Jon
