Tonight, in the title game, there was a jump called, the shot clock was at 24, Butler had the ball and since they had the arrow, they got possession but the shot clock was reset to 35.

College guys - what's the rule?

I think the officials determined that the defense got possession of the ball before the jump ball hence the reset.
