still confused also at the end of the first half how that wasn't overturned. It was pretty evident that the ball was still on his hand when the backboard lights went off. I thought they should've reviewed the jump ball at the end of regulation to show the Gopher player was out of bounds but chances are they wouldn't have overturned it by looking at the end of the first half. Really poor officiating
End of First Half

I don't think the jump ball call reviewable. It is for who touched last but not for this sequence
The halftime call was very close Could have gone either way and not indisputable to overturn the call

Looked like it was still on his fingers as time expired. And, of course, without those two gift points, Iowa wins in regulation. No biggie.
Maybe Iowa will have some games gift wrapped some day. I've only been waiting 57 years to see it.

The only shot I saw that indicated it was still in his hand when the red light came on was the view through the backboard. It clearly showed it was still in his hand when the light came on. Not sure if the refs were privy to that view. All of the others were too close to overturn it.
Ball was out of his hand. That backboard camera makes it appear the ball is still on his fingertips because the ball is obstructing the view of his fingertips. The straight on angle made it clear to me the bucket should count.
I actually think the refs did a decent job in a great environment (wish Carver could be more like the Barn). That is, their officiating was not advantageous to either team—missed and/or bad calls both ways—and did not directly affect the outcome of the game… of course until it did.
There is just no excusing how the end of regulation played out. None.
My thought was that it was good. Not so much that there was a clear view of it, but the tv announcers were leaning to it counting and listening to Hansen and Dolphin on the radio they also thought it should count. As a Hawk fan I would have been po'ed if they didn't count it if the situation was reversed. And the clock above the backboard showed two tenths of a second left on the clock when the board went red. Aren't they supposed to be synchronized?
That is completely untrue. The game clock on the shot clock, above that basket goes to 00.0 at the exact same time as the red light is lit. This also happens to be simultaneous with the ball leaving the Gopher's hand, which in my glass half empty world, means that the ball was not completely out of his hand.
The game clock on the Barn's scoreboard was off by 00.1 to 00.2 seconds different than the clock on the shot clocks. Not that any clock really matters. The red light and the three blind mice are the things that matter.
