I have a rules question for you guys because sometimes basketball rules confuse me.
Why did the clock stop / play stop immediately after Maye's basket? Surely Kentucky didn't have time to signal for a timeout? I've watched the replay several times and didn't see any player signal for a time out.
Did the refs stop it because they wanted to check whether it was a 2 or a 3? I'm just trying to grasp it. If Kentucky had a bit more time (say, 1.3 seconds or so) it would make a huge difference if the refs stopped the game. It would allow the other team time to set up a play

I think you have it right with checking whether his foot was on the line.
The rule is that the clock stops on out of bounds plays in the second half.
I assumed he meant not just that the clock stopped after the made basket but that there was a bit of a stoppage before Kentucky inbounded.
Ohhh okay, okay. That makes sense and solves part of it. Doesn't explain why they stopped the action though. I guess to review the 3/2.
Yes, correct.
Oh, ok. In that case then yes it was to check to see if it was a two or three.
ETA: And does anyone know why the rule for the second half is different than the first half? I've always wondered why they don't stop the clock at the end of the first half.
That's correct. The clock only stops after a made basket in the last 1:00 of the second half and any overtime periods.
tl;dr version: to speed up the game.
Ah, the morality martyr. Too bad NO college basketball and football players are "amateurs" technically speaking, because they all receive monthly (or biweekly, can't remember) stipends. But you know, keep fighting the good fight.

Not sure I even feel like watching the first game. Getting too nervous and would rather watch something besides basketball.
I'm pulling for the Cocks. I have nothing against either team but Frank Martin has grown on me as a coach and person. Pretty good dude.
Yeah I kind of like frank! Sure has them playing hard
Thornwell not playing well, looks off, they need him if they are going to win
Anytime good looking women are screaming "Go Cocks", I'm pulling for them.
We could take either of these teams IMO. Oregon is a much tougher matchup than either of these two. Again IMO
I gotta believe our tri attack of Hicks, Meeks, and Maye would destroy him.
