I'm with Nevada on this one. It appeared the defender (who was leaving the ball handler) had his foot on the floor and the offensive player stepped on that foot, causing him to go down and lose the ball OOB.

Did Kentucky not want to play an NIT game in Rupp Arena (after their long run of NCAA tournament appearances), hence the the game was played Memorial Arena?

Rupp was already booked.
