I'll stick with my original thoughts, Rut.
Now I also don't agree that this is just, I'm simply saying that this is the way it IS. The NCAA should change/clarify it.

Obviously if you know there is a mistake in this situation, not sure how you can count points. It was very obvious that more than more than 5 seconds went off the clock, the half would have ended. It seems pretty clear to me. I think you are just looking for a smoking gun and I am not sure you will ever find it.

As I've said, I agree that time should have expired. But should have and actually did are two different things. This situation reminds me of the Memphis/Sacramento NBA game a couple of weeks ago. Again the clock failed to start when it should have and a basket was scored to win the game. The officials went to the monitor, saw the clock error and said that they couldn't do anything about it. They could only judge whether or not the shot was released before the lights.
It's a bad rule and needs to be changed, but that the way it is.
And you lost me with the smoking gun. I don't care for Duke, they lost, and the basket was taken away from Michigan State. So what are you saying? I just feel that the rule wasn't followed properly. That's all.
