West Virginia Wins Again, 2 Days Later

West Virginia University was once again declared the winner of Saturday’s disputed game at St. Joseph’s. A last-second dunk by forward Lester Rowe had given the Mountaineers an apparent 51-50 victory. But nearly 10 minutes after the final buzzer, official Glen Shample reversed the decision, saying the West Virginia basket could not be allowed because it came after time had expired.

But that decision was reversed again Monday when Atlantic 10 Commissioner Charlie Theokas, quoting 1985 NCAA rules, said the basket had to be counted because game officials approved the final score and left the court before reversing themselves.
