WOW - MSU vs Wisconsin

[longtimefan]

That happened in a Seton Hall-Oklahoma State game at the Dome (Sweet Sixteen, I think, in the late '90s). Not sure if they've fixed the problem (we've since gone to new baskets with fancy transparent shot clocks the new lights/buzzers), but I guess the big scoreboard clocks (including the ones on the third-deck facade) were meant for football and not synchronized with the basketball arrangement.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the play involved Desmond Mason and the made three was disallowed.

The poster child for this type of situation was a Texas-Providence game a few years ago (Barnes returning to one of his former haunts). The clock, light and horn were all different. Eventually, the decision went against the home team. The rules were tweaked/clarified after that.

Good call; I'd forgotten that. That was a wild one.
