It was the UCLA/Gonzaga game, UCLA player in the last 2 minutes. I was very puzzled as to why the official waved off the basket. The player was gathering the ball for his shot when the first player hit his arm, then as he released the ball there was contact with the defender in front of him.
From the comfort of my sofa it looked like continous motion and the basket should have counted, but that's a lot lower-paying vantage point than the official who had only a split second to make his call.
