This actually happened in another division 1 game a few years back. Visiting team (Connecticut) up by 4 with about 7 seconds left. Home team (Miami) makes a layup, then steals inbounds pass and then hits a 3 to go up 1 with 1.2 seconds left, no timeouts. Visiting team's guard (Taliek Brown) takes the ball to inbounds under the hoop as Miami players rush the court from the bench. Rather than try the inbounds, Brown inbounds the ball on a bounce pass toward the Maimi players who are on the court, presumably to draw attention to the fact that they are interfering with his inbounds. Not clear from camera, but it looks like ball rolls out of bounds perhaps hitting a player.
No call. Ball returned to Brown under basket, court cleared, 1.2 restored on the clock, and he gets another inbounds. Catch and shoot misses and game ends.
Watched it live. Always thought it was an interesting way to handle, and was reminded of it recently during the Arizona game.
