I have the exact same question?

On what basis did they give MU (Marquette?) the ball?

NCAA 4-71: Act of Shooting

"A try for field goal is an attempt by a player to score by throwing or tapping the ball into their basket"

I would like to see video of this if anyone can dig it up. I was watching this game earlier but switched off of it.

Since there was no goaltend the only means of determining control was the arrow. Which favored Marquette since UConn won the tip, even going the wrong way.

But why was the GT cancelled out? I think they screwed the pooch here and went with the "shot at wrong basket so can't have GT" even though the officials set them up going the wrong way....

Wrong basket = not a try = no goaltend
