#1 - There were playing at MSU. If MSU has anyone to be mad at, it's their own timer.
#2 - This isn't the NFL. If they go to the monitor to specifically see whether a shot was released in time or not, they cannot look for other things that may have occurred.

Use of Replay/Television Monitor
When using the monitor for a specific reason, no other judgments shall be made or penalized. (Exception, Rule 4-66, A.R. 42)
Officials must remember that judgment always comes first. The monitor does not replace judgment! You use the monitor to verify what has already occurred, NOT to add something you missed or no-called.
#3 - While they don't call it lag time, they do have the same rules reqarding stopping the clock as the NF does.
"When a held ball or violation occurs so near the expiration of time that the game clock is not stopped before time expires, the period shall end with the held ball or violation."
"When a foul occurs so near the expiration of time that the official timer cannot stop the game clock before time expires or when the foul occurs after time expires but while the ball is in flight during a try, the period shall end when the free throw(s) and all related activity have been completed."
When the clock stops after a made basket in this situation, it is the timer who stops the clock, not the Precision Time system.
I don't think the officials went to the monitor to see if any time should still be on the clock. That doesn't appear to be an issue.
