I switched over from the Oregon/K-State game during a commercial break to see the end of this game. My Christmas present to me was a 65" Samsung 8000-Series LED Smart HDTV with 240Hz refresh (). I kept stopping and rewinding the replays with my DVR. And I couldn't tell from the two angles they showed if the ball had definitely left the shooter's fingertips when the backboard light lit up. It was just that close.

So anybody who says they definitely saw a valid shot or not is blowing smoke. The refs, IMO, simply had to guess, and we'll never know if they guessed right or not.
