Does basketball have the equivalent of pro football’s “uncatchable pass,” where pass interference isn’t pass interference because the receiver could not have caught the ball?
Inquiring minds wanted to know after watching the final seconds of Kentucky’s 74-73 victory over Texas A&M on Tuesday.
The ending also raised a more sensitive question: Does a dynasty program like Kentucky get an inherent advantage in home-court officiating?
To review: Trailing 74-73, A&M got a final chance to win when PJ Washington missed two free throws with 3.9 seconds left. Big man Tyler Davis, the game’s leading scorer with 21 points, had gotten himself in position near the opposite basket.
