Found it. It was the Summit League championship (Western Illinois and S. Dakota State).

The shot-clock was reset to the proper time. The possession began with 2:39 remaining. They blew the whistle to recognize the shot-clock error with 2:06 remaining. If anything, Western Illinois should've had three seconds to shoot but no more than that.

As for where they put the ball back into play, they made a mistake. The whistle to recognize the shot-clock problem was blown with the ball between the circles, closer to the scorers' table. It should have been a designated spot throw-in in front of the scorers' table since that was the POI.
