Feel bad for Samford and anyone who bet on them or has any ties to them.
It was a bang-bang play and the ref made a quick decision and it sucks that it was the wrong one.
I understand how a non-call occurs, you didn't see the contact, but how do you call a foul that doesn't occur? You either saw the contact or you didn't. And you clearly can't see contact that doesn't happen, at this point you're just guessing.
ETA: it's not even like there was incidental contact where a judgement call had to be made, there was zero contact other than hand on ball.

I agree with your point.
In the refs defense: running down the court on a fast break, whistle-in-mouth, defender makes a move where contact happens 9/10 times, contact happens and ball doesnt go in, player flies to floor.
He couldnt tell that the defender hit that perfect window where the ball was and shooters hand was not.
Bang-Bang play. Official reviews on fouls under 90 seconds would have potentially changed the outcome of the game.
Can only leave it up to the ref so much. Humans make errors. There has to be a way that we can get the call right.

My wife knows nothing about basketball and could see, in real time and on TV, that the guy touched all ball. It wasn't even close.
If the ref thought it WAS close, he should have swallowed his whistle and let play proceed.
