Congratulations, Arizona Wildcats!

[updated]
You have lost in the dumbest way possible.   No one will lose in dumber fashion on all year long.

After coming back from a 10-point deficit, and tying the game with just a few seconds left, you had one player (Kyle Fogg) foul a UAB player, apparently thinking that they were still behind a point.  

Luckily for you, the fouled UAB player missed the front of an one-and-one.  Phew!  Dodged a bullet there!

So, the bigger question is why, after you missed a shot to win the game with a few seconds left, another Arizona Wildcat (Jamelle Horne) intentionally fouled a guy as he was gearing up for a shot from halfcourt. 

The commentators were gentle, coming up with possible explanations and reminding the viewing audience that Arizona is a young team with a new coach.  As if there times in a game that is tied inside of 2 seconds that you should intentionally foul someone at halfcourt.  It was just stupid.  It was stupid twice, and Arizona got ganked on the second fuck up.
