This same incident occurred here during a NCAA D3 basketball game. Here is the newspaper account of the aftermath:




The Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference apologized Monday for a blown call that cost Carleton an overtime loss against St. Olaf.

Officials waved off Scott Christensen's 30-foot shot after an inadvertent shot-clock buzzer, allowing the visiting Oles to edge the Knights 71-69 on Feb. 1.

Christensen's shot was disallowed even though none of the three officials blew the play dead.

"It has been determined that the officials working the contest erred in disallowing a three-point field goal for Carleton College," MIAC executive director Carlyle Carter said in a statement to Carleton.

Carter said it was unfortunate NCAA basketball rules do not permit altering the outcome of contests upon certification by the officials.

"It is extremely regrettable that our officials did not interpret the rules covering the situation accurately," Carter wrote.

"I offer our apologies from the conference to Carleton College."
