  Wow. Total homer job. Another good reaso to root against the wildcats and bet against the.m as well. Just Ilike I did in the Hawaiian classic vs SDSU.

  The refs definitely got influenced by the fans. The fans went ballistic in the arena like it wa sno good when they saw the jumbotron. Worst call of the season. At best it is inconclusive.

  If you freeze it at the :33 mark, while the ball is still on his fingertips, there is clearly something wrong with the TV clock. The clock above the backboard shows 0:00, while the clock on the bottom right on the screen has 0.00.1. Depending on which clock is official, the refs may have got this correct.

  /we’ve been pretty good when we’ve agreed on these.

  My 2 half bet on Arizona thinks it was a great call. My non betting self thinks the Buffs got hosed.

  Roeth, look at the GIF. When the backboard clock goes 0 and the backboard lights up, the ball is out of his hands.

  Take a look at the video – the clock on the side of the backboard doesn’t match what’s on the front. They’re not uniform.

  You can literally freeze the video and have the clocks on top of the backboard have different times on it.

  But I’m ignoring the clock on the side, I’m just looking at the backboard clock and buzzer light, aren’t those the determining factors?

  Not sure – when there are multiple clocks in an arena one is typically declared the official clock. It would depend on the “house” rules. My guess is the PAC 12 director of officiating will be issuing an explanation tomorrow.

  Yeah, we’ve been in sync, got lucky to, when the game went off, bovada moved it to ORE -8. I didn’t like that .5 pt hanging out there, especially after that 2pt conversion after the 1st TD.

  Love TXAM tomorrow nite. Line is TXAM -3.5, would like it to get to -3.

  No such thing as “house rules.” The NCAA standard is that it is the light around the backboard and the clock on the top that is the determining factor. If those are out of sync then it is the light only. The game clock on ESPN3 had him releasing it with .2 left so that was way off.

  The only way they can say it is no good is that they called it no good on the floor so they couldn’t overturn, but I’m almost positive they counted it on the floor so that would be a lie.

  You’re wrong – from NCAA rulebook

  Art. 2. Each period shall end when the red light or LED lights have become
  activated. When the light fails to operate or is not visible, each period shall end
  with the sounding of the game-clock horn.
  a. In games when the red light is not present, the game-clock horn shall
  terminate players’ activity.
  b. In games with a 10th-of-a-second game clock display and where an official
  courtside monitor is used, the reading of zeros on the game clock is to be
  used to determine whether a try for goal occurred before or after the
  expiration of time in any period. 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 used. When definitive information is unattainable with the
  use of the monitor, the original call stands

  But you forgot the part before that that says if the clocks aren’t synched then you use the lights. As they obviously weren’t on this case. The official game clock is always synched to the lights on the backboard. Otherwise it makes no sense.
