When the game clock is not visible, the officials shall verify the original call with the use of the red/LED light(s). When the red/LED light(s) are not visible, the sounding of the game-clock horn shall be utilized.

If there is no courtside monitor we go with 5-7-2, correct?

99% of colleges have scoreboards with 1/10th second clocks. Most do not have courtside monitors.

But I always thought 5-7-2b and 2.13.4 only apply to the actual review, not the on-court ruling.

Yep. No monitor = red/LED lights rules, which means we'll very rarely see that in a Div. I game since the vast majority have monitors available due to TV or internet broadcasts.

I would think these go hand-in-hand, no? The crew would come up with its ultimate ruling based on the review.

Actually all NCAA gyms/arenas have clocks that show tenths of seconds. By rule they have to. This is from the rules supplement in the '12-13 rule book.

Timing Equipment. Divisions I, II, and III schools shall have a game clock that shows a 10th-of-a-second display when less than 59.9 seconds remains in a period.
Division I, II, and III schools shall have either a red light placed behind each backboard that is visible through the 24-inch-by-18-inch rectangle or LED lights around the backboard.
