Look: Northwestern fans hang picture of missed goaltending call

Making its first tournament appearance ever, Northwestern was taken down in the second round by Gonzaga, which will be playing South Carolina in the Final Four on Saturday.

With 4:57 left and Northwestern trailing 63-58, Gonzaga forward Zach Collins blocked Derek Pardon's shot on what should have been a goaltending call, thus awarding the Wildcats two points and making the score 63-60.

However, no call was made, leading to head coach Chris Collins being given a technical foul over the missed call as he stepped onto the court and yelled at the officials.

Gonzaga would hold on to win 79-73.

Seemingly not ready to let go, on Wednesday, a photo of the exact play would be seen hanging in The Arch, the trademark spot of the school, showing off the missed call.
