Because I'm a nice person I decided to find the situation described in the OP.
(In the future, refinks, it helps if you give a time when the event took place. Even if we don't clip the play it allows us to at least see what happened.)
Alabama was granted a timeout with 4:15 remaining in the 2nd half and 23 seconds left on the shot-clock and was due to have a throw-in on a boundary line bordering its backcourt. Alabama would have had 3 seconds remaining to get the ball into the frontcourt but the timeout reset the count.
The timeout went to media because it took place within 30 seconds of the next scheduled media timeout mark (4:00). That's a new rule in NCAAM this season. It was the rule in NCAAW last season.
