KState game ending explanation for those who didn't see it...

4.7 seconds left, LSU down 2.

LSU inbounds the ball, dribbles across court to about the 3pt line, passes to Hannibal who bobbles, recovers, and drives to the basket for a finger roll layup with about .2 or .3 left on the clock in the background. Clock runs out, ruled a good basket, goes to review.

They aren't reviewing the actual shot as it was clearly good. They review the clock operator not starting the clock at the correct time. Clock clearly didn't start on time...looks like clock didn't start until LSU ball handler was about 2-3 strides/1 maybe 2 dribbles up the court (not quite at half court, maybe right in front of the coach's box area). Clock was probably somewhere between .5 seconds and 1 second off, realistically.

Instead of ruling that the clock was operated incorrectly and restarting play with 4.7 seconds again, which I'd completely understand and think would be fair to both teams, they rule that the shot is no good and play is over. They basically assumed that play would have happened exactly like it did if the clock started on time and that Hannibal wouldn't have had time to get it off. Complete bullshite because chances are once Hannibal got the ball and sees less than 2 seconds on the clock, he takes a shot instead of driving to the rim...but when he sees that he has time, he drives. How is he supposed to know in real time that the clock operated choked his one and only job?

If that's the correct ruling by the NCAA rulebook, then that is absolute frickery and needs to be changed immediately. If that's not correct, I'd think that game should be able to be protested or challenged.
