I had no problem with the violation being called.
I did have a problem with what happened after. On the next possesion down with UNM down by 3, they took a couple 3pt shots and missed. The ball goes out of bounds last touched by a MSU player. The clock stopped a 0.3 seconds after the lag time from the Lead's whistle. The crew DID NOT go to the monitor when clearly there was more time on the clock than 0.3 seconds. In my opinion, the crew should've gone to the monitor and checked the discrepancy; that is what the monitor is there for.
If the crew had gone to the monitor, they would've seen the problem and UNM would've at least had enough time for an attempt at a 3pt shot rather than a "tip-3pt shot." Not that I'm saying this call robbed UNM (because they shot horribly at the FT line) but at least give them the appropriate time to get off a shot.
