I saw it during the original play, and there's simply no way to miss it in the replays.In college basketball, replays can't be used to review foul calls (or no-calls), which is fine with me.  What I don't get is why nobody is even mentioning the obvious foul.  If that call had been made, the game most likely would not have gone into OT.BTW, I had a friend at the game, and he said the ref on the spot made an obvious "and one" hand motion.  His theory is that the foul was called, but then conveniently "forgotten" to avoid adding more controvery about refs deciding games.  Personally, I think that's a little paranoid ... I think it's more likely that the signal he saw was the ref indicating that the shot was taken in time.  But who knows?</blockquote>
