A Kentucky pass (alley oop) hit the rim and bounced towards the centre line. A KU player tried to save it in the front court but stepped on the centre line. His save (weak pass) landed in the back court. Therefore, the official could have called a backcourt violation for either infractions. He did not. A Syracuse player then retrieved the ball and play continued from there. It was impossible to see if the shot clock was reset when it hit the rim. As mentioned here, it should not have reset.

What I want to know is how players from 4 teams ended up on the court...
1. We've got a pass by a Kentucky player.
2. Kentucky played Marquette.
3. Then a Kansas (KU) player tries to save the ball before it goes into the backcourt.
4. Then from out of nowhere, a Syracuse player recovers the ball.
How did the refs miss this?
Isn't is a technical foul to have 4 teams on the court. If not, who would get the ball after a violation?
