In looking at the replays, I believe that the act of shooting had not yet begun. Therefore, the off-ball foul by Duke made the ball dead and the goal was correctly waved off.
It was certainly close though.
Just my opinion.

I did not see this play. However, can someone describe what the shooter was doing at the time the foul occured? I would really like to know if he was NOT in the act of shooting.
Just to be nitpicky: Mr. Gray's name is spelled Donnee, not Donnie.

I see Mr. Spelling Guy's intern is still on the ball.
I only got a chance to listen to the game on the radio with the IN announcers, and I was surprised when they mentioned Burr had counted the basket, then he and Gray got together before waving it off. All the announcers mentioned was that it was a big deal for IN from a scoring standpoint; to their credit, they didn't really get into a rules discussion over whether it should or shouldn't count (like some announcers we know). But that did leave me wondering what did actually happen, and in what order.
