I didn't see it either, but it's been all over the radio and newspapers here.

It's almost a given that the officials cost the cyclones the game, although the questions are on judgment calls. I note there is one case where a 3 point basket was granted when replays (apparently) show it was a two. However, coaches did not ask the officials to check the replay.
There seems to be some dispute as to whether the officials could have wiped away the 3 point shot during the free throw error. The article intimates that the points could have been wiped had the ISU players not initiated the throw in following the hoop. My understanding is that the basket has to count at that point. Can someone familiar with NCAA rules tell me what the rule is here?
Perhaps the administering officials told the players 1 & 1, but the ISU players were going off of the calling official's statement? I'm guessing here.
BTW, this is post # 500 for me. Not exactly a "ig dog" but it does let me know just how little else I've accomplished over the past year.
