RULE 5 / SCORING AND TIMING REGULATIONS

Section 7. Beginning and End of Period
Art. 1. Each period shall begin when the ball becomes live.



Art. 2.


Each period shall end when the red light or LED lights has become


activated. When the light fails to operate or is not visible, each period shall
end with the sounding of the game-clock horn.
a. In games when the red light is not present, the game-clock horn shall
terminate players’ activity.
b. In games with a 10th of a second game clock display and where an
official courtside monitor is used, the reading of 0.00 on the game
clock is to be used to determine whether a try for goal occurred
before or after the expiration of time in any period. When the game
clock is not visible, the officials shall verify the original call with
the use of the red/LED light(s). When the red/LED light(s) are not
visible, the sounding of the game-clock horn shall be utilized. When
definitive information is unattainable with the use of the monitor, the
original call stands.

From my understanding, Nevada, (and I don't have an NCAA book at the moment) for the first call on the court - the red light prevails (hopefully at the same time as :00.0 on the clock and the horn going off).

When looking at the replay monitor, the call is based on when the clock hits :00.0.

Not sure why there's the discrepancy, but I seem to remember an issue in a PC game a few seasons ago.
