Yes, yes, yes!

He's showing everyone he knows the clock really well. I doubt many of his partners are looking at him to see his signal.

That was a travel.

An example of why the Lead should not call fouls above the rim, especially on the other side of the rim

I predict that this will be a topic emphasized by JD Collins prior to next season.

That is great defense. That's why I talk to myself in the Lead not to blow my whistle on those plays.

1:04 left in the game. MSU player trips over her own teammate, Dee Kantner calls a foul, then the officials discuss and change it to a travel.

I am going to disagree with all of you. For one the rule states that the goal is not scored until the ball remains in or passes through the basket. Well the ball does not really go through the basket until 0.3.

There is also no evidence they did not look at this. They have an alternate as well and if there was an issue he can to my knowledge let the crew now. There appeared to be a timeout or some stoppage for some time so I am sure they looked at this. But they did appear to get it right based on the pure rule and we know we must prove that we know the exact rule and apply it to the letter. I am not convinced that 0.4 would have been accurate considering that the ball appears to still be in the net. In other words they would be splitting hairs and IMO making a judgment that would be tight at best. They would get killed if they reviewed this later and Kentucky had made a big basket later. That is an easy decision sitting here at a computer screen or on a couch to make such a decision IMO. But hey, what do I know, just giving an opinion that means nothing in the end right?

I believe that this controversial call could have been avoided if the L was closed down or even rotated over to the ball side. Freeze the video at 5 seconds when the wing has the ball and notice how far away the L is. When the wing caught the ball, the L should have rotated to the ball side. The play would have been officiated much better.

I agree with JRut on this 100%.

Per the 2016-17 NCAA Mens Basketball Rulebook, Pg. 103

Rule 11 Section 3. Instant Replay—Mandatory Use
Art. 1. Officials shall use such available equipment in the following
situations:
a. When there is a reading of zeroes on the game clock at the end of any
period, after making a call on the playing court, and when necessary to
determine the outcome of the game in the following situations:
1. Determine whether a try for field goal entering the basket was
released before the reading of zeroes on the game clock. When it
is determined that the try for goal was successful, the official is
permitted to put the exact time back on the game clock as to when
the ball passed through the net.
