I have a problem with any explanation being that the scorer or timekeeper was at fault, or that LSU inbounded before the refs could seek a review. Since no ref was blowing a whistle, none of these were going to happen. The proper thing would have been to immediately blow it dead and seek review. If any time ran off after the basket but before the clock was stopped, put that time back on. This is done all the time when a team calls timeout after a basket in the waning seconds. While this would have allowed both teams some advantage, i.e., being able to set up a press or pressbreaker while the review was on going, it would have been a much better result than the way it was handled (not according to the rules) or if they had handled it properly after the time ran out (changing the score, but not putting time back on).

Since the mechanics require the C and T to mirror the call on a made three, one of them should have known immediately that they had a disagreement on whether it was a three, unless it was the L who thought the toe was on the line, which seems unlikely.
