In the extra session, Small scored five points and West Virginia held Gonzaga to a single field goal, which came after the outcome was decided with 19 seconds left.

Two free throws by Nembhard expanded the lead to 71-66 with 25 seconds left. But DeVries followed with a 3-pointer from the top of the key and then made a mid-court steal and drew a foul with 5.9 seconds left. His two free throws sent it to overtime. The Mountaineers never trailed in overtime. Sencire Harris wrapped it up with a steal and a breakaway slam that put West Virginia up 84-76 with 26 seconds left. Battle, a transfer from Arkansas, scored eight points in a span of 90 seconds late in the first half as the Bulldogs took control on their way to a 39-31 lead at the break.

There are some cuts so deep, they can never heal. Some travesties so painful, communities never quite get past them. Some atrocities so vile, some abdications of the public trust so heinous, they can never be forgiven. When the latter is the case in all of those scenarios, the public has just one means of gripping any kind of satisfaction with situations and systems that let them down. It’s justice. Plain and simple. Handed out to the perpetrator by the community itself. Served, however unfulfilling that sentence ultimately turns out to be in the eyes of the harmed public, to its fullest extent. It’s the only way. There’s no long-term viability for a society without consequences for bad actions. There’s no deterrent for those actions without the threat of a punishment served. Joe Biden has spent the last few months of his presidency ignoring those facts, thumbing his nose to the rule of law when it politically and personally suits him to do so. Every community has that eternally bleeding wound, the travesties and atrocities that haunt forever, unfortunately. In Luzerne County, there’s no question it’s the Kids For Cash scandal that rocked the area for most of the 2000s and sent two county judges — Mark A. Ciavarella Jr. and Michael T. Conahan — to federal prison for racketeering and conspiring to sentence minors to extended punishments at a private, for-profit juvenile detention center in exchange for kickbacks that wound up amounting to more than $2 million. As part of his wild clemency spree that started with his son, Hunter, earlier this month and extended to a record 1,500 inmates, Biden commuted Conahan’s sentence on Thursday . It frees the disgraced judge from the remainder of a 17-year sentence, of which he served less than a decade. He was granted compassionate release during the COVID-19 pandemic and released to his Florida home under federal supervision in 2020, which was hard enough for area residents still reeling from his actions. Ciavarella is in the midst of a 28-year sentence. “I am shocked and I am hurt,” Sandy Fonzo, whose son committed suicide after being placed in one of the detention centers by Ciavarella, said in a statement. “Conahan‘s actions destroyed families, including mine, and my son‘s death is a tragic reminder of the consequences of his abuse of power. This pardon feels like an injustice for all of us who still suffer. Right now I am processing and doing the best I can to cope with the pain that this has brought back.” Fonzo, who became somewhat of a public spokesperson after Ciavarella’s trial and the subsequent sentencings, called the harm they did “irreparable” to the community after Conahan’s sentencing in 2011. That’s indisputable. However, according to the White House, Conahan is practically a victim himself, a nonviolent offender “sentenced under outdated laws, policies, and practices.” In a statement, Biden said Conahan is among the inmates who “successfully reintegrated into their families and communities” after the pandemic and “deserve a second chance.” It’s another show of compassion for Conahan, who was part of a group that showed zero compassion for kids who never got the same consideration in the name of lining influential pockets. The actions of Conahan and Ciavarella remain a stunning affront to the public trust, as dastardly now as it was when they were whisked away from the courtroom in handcuffs. They are the local poster children for the distrust between the public and high-level public servants that is only growing deeper as the years pass. Joe Biden, with no cause and little call to do so, only exacerbated that distrust. He didn’t set the scandal in motion or execute it over and over again from the bench. But the latest in a long string of victimizations of those children and their families should not be a footnote to his presidency.
