Aggie inbounded poorly but were saved when Memphis deflected the ball out of bounds. The refs ran the clock down to 2.0 seconds, though, presumably because the ball bounced in-bounds as opposed to on the sideline, after the Memphis player deflected it. A desperation heave later, the Aggie's wonderful season came to a bitter end.

The only problem I had with the time they ran off the clock was that, when watching the replay at regular speed and sound, it's very obvious that the ref blew it dead immediately, as if it hit the sideline.
So, when looking at a replay, does the actual event take precedent over when the ref blew his whistle?
That was my only question.
Oh, and I thought that was a rather weak foul call at the end. Clearly I'm biased, and the Aggies had plenty of cracks at that rebound...but still, that was a pretty ticky tack call.
