The image of the game clock above the basket is not blurry earlier in the video and the time and clearly be seen. It is exactly the same as the time in the bottom right corner of the screen. So, both clocks were in alignment, regardless of whether the image is blurry or not in the final tenths of a second. Using frame advance, the ball is well out of Chen’s hand and on the way to the basket with 0.2 seconds left on the clock on the bottom right corner, which earlier in the video is exactly aligned with the game clock. So it is not inconclusive at all. There is conclusive evidence that the shot should have counted and Colorado should have won. BTW I’m an Arizona alum and fan and even I admit this was total BS. I’d rather have the team earn the victories than be handed them by incompetent (or worse) officiating.

Why even play the game if crap like this happens?

When will people realize that refs simply do not work at any level of sports? Technology is just way too good nowadays to leave it up in the hands of people.

The only reason that Colorado was in a position to win the game at the buzzer was two missed calls in the Buff’s favor. No intentional was called on Andre Roberson and the foul on Mark Lyons. There was SO MANY awful calls in the final minutes.

There is no excuse for what the refs did to CU last night. Watching that unfold was painful and I have no interest in either team.

There was clearly time left on the clock, Colorado won the game, the refs deserve some amount of retribution/penalty, and the NCAA/Pac 12 owe CU and their fans a major apology.

Colorado was on the wrong end of two bad calls.

But I’m not sure I’d go as far as to say they “Got jobbed” or “Got a raw deal”. Those both imply that there was intent. There was no intent to screw Colorado.

The Refs just plain sucked.

This Is Pac-12 Basketball. The refs are inconsistent to a level off absurdity year in and year out.

The day the NCAA admits they are wrong will be the day pigs fly
