That Was ... Odd

Mich St 63
Wisconsin 60 OT

This turnaround 3-pter at the buzzer was initially ruled good, then reversed after checking the replay monitors which showed 0:00.0 on the clock above the basket -- as the other clock in the arena showed 0:00.1 remaining in overtime. Granted, the officials got the call right; the red light above the backboard has always been deemed the "official" end of the half/game, but it begs the question - why aren't those clocks synced up? How are they not? Weird. And to think, it happened just a day after Wisconsin's football team lost the Rose Bowl as QB Russell Wilson spiked the ball with 0:00.0 remaining in the game, which had to be reviewed for a few minutes, as well. I think Wisconsin has clock issues.

Here's the best picture of the night:



There's so much awesomeness going on here ...

-You have Bo Ryan who looks like he is going to kill the officials w/ a knife;

-Red sweatshirt guy is either trying to poop or balling his eyes out;

-Plaid shirt guy (a) wearing that shirt to a basketball game, and (b) impersonating a zombie from Thriller;

-The PA / Radio Guy thinking, "Well shoot. Maybe I forgot to synch the clocks again ...;"

-The woman just going with the flow, not really knowing what she's supposed to be upset about; and

-You have the replay monitor, which appears to be showing an episode of Battlestar Galactica.

I don't think you could superimpose a picture any better. Great comments.
