Yes, but at least they got it right!

The end of that Mississippi State game was an absolute joke!

Actually they got it wrong--but since it was the "official" timekeepers mistake--they didn't give ISU possession--ala Pantagraph:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lloyd Phillips??™ drive inside was blocked by Ron Anderson with ISU trailing 80-79. The Redbirds fouled Anderson, who made the first free throw with 1.0 showing on the clock. He purposely missed the second.

Brandon Sampay didn??™t touch the ball as it came off the rim, and it went out-of-bounds as the clock ran out.

The clock should not have started because it wasn??™t touched after it hit the rim. The referees, who were from the Mid-American Conference, huddled to discuss the situation.

They later issued a statement saying ???the clock started inadvertently and time expired. By rule, because there was no team control, possession is determined by alternate possession (arrow) and time set to 1.0 seconds.???

Instead of ISU getting the ball, the possession arrow pointed toward Kansas State. Pullen, who scored a career-high 32 points, threw the ball off Odiakosa and scored a meaningless basket at the buzzer.

???I need to stay out of all that so I can continue to be gainfully employed, so I will,??? said Jankovich.

Doubtful ISU would win an a last second shot--but they should have had the opportunity except for an officials mistake
