Anyone watching the SDSU v. New Mexico game? With 2:22 left in second half New Mexico drives for a layup and hit no rim. Offensive rebound by New Mexico, but shot clock expires before the ball is out of shooters hand. Officials either do not hear the buzzer, or just miss it. Steve Fisher requests a time out immediately after the play and (I think) asks the officials to review the shot on the monitor. Replays clearly show the shot clock expired before the ball was ever released, yet the officials do not overturn the basket. Is there a particular NCAA rule where they are not allowed to overturn this shot? Or did the officials just kick it?  |
There was a similar situation during Georgia Tech v. Maryland; Maryland was trailing by 2, a shot by GT didn't hit the ring, the ball was tapped and a GT player dunked it. I heard the buzzer when the ball was clearly in the hands of the dunker and the replay confirmed my opinion. However the officials counted the basket.
Some plays after this, it seemed that they checked on the monitor whether to reset the shot clock after a scramble following a try which didn't hit the ring; the ball had been given Maryland for AP, with 7 seconds left on the shot clock (and 31 on the clock, IIRC); Maryland was still trailing by 2.
