I watched the Alamo webcast all day. 148 did it twice. The first time they did it, it was completely successful. (as in they backed away and it hung freely) The second time they were still in contact with the tube but they were not applying any kind of force to the tube so in a sense, it was hanging on the peg and they were just touching it. I do believe they counted it as a hang but some that was there in person should clarify this.
