    Quirk in the rulebook became obvious tonight.
    Iowa leads Wisconsin by one in the final 40 seconds. Hawkeyes' Connor McCaffery sets a screen for Joe Wieskamp, who comes off the screen, takes the pass and drives down for a layup. Hawks by 3.
    Badgers take the ball up past half court and call time out with 32 ticks left.
    Officials take the opportunity to review the previous screen because they think they might have seen something they didn't call at first. And what do you know? The Badger defender did a hook-and-hold deal. Flagrant foul. But they only go to the replay because Wisconsin has stopped play with a time out.
    The Wieskamp hoop still stands. But now the Badgers lose the chance to tie and Iowa gets two free throws and possession.
    Iowa wins. This is fine with me. I'm an Iowa fan. But it still strikes me as odd.
    Let's say Greg Gard does not call time out. He lets them play it out. The Badgers miss a shot but rebound and hit a tying 3-pointer at the buzzer. Basket counts and no time remains in regulation.
    But what happens with the flagrant foul? Can the officials, who failed to notice the flagrant foul when it occurred, still take a look at the monitor and see if something amiss transpired? Where does the game stand? Are the two free throws awarded because of the flagrant foul considered part of regulation? (Is the game over if McCaffery makes one of the shots?) Or are they considered the first actions of overtime, meaning play continues regardless of how many are made?

    That makes one of you.

    (Seriously, congrats ... well, sort of. Funny how people in red wanted to go planning to celebrate a victory ... then ... well ... )

    1) Not foolish enough to claim it. Optimistic to hope it happens someday, but realistic enough not to squawk about it and a delusional, desperate fan base helps keep me grounded.
    2) See Monday's game.
    3) Never did that on my end.

    That's really odd. I've never seen that happen.

    I have a referee friend I'll ask. But I'm sure someone here knows the rulebook as well and should be able to answer before I see my guy tonight at a game.

    Of all the sports that replay damages, I'd say college basketball is #1.
    What you described is insane.

    I was waiting for the VCU-St. Bonaventure game to come on CBS Sports Network a couple of Saturdays ago, and the broadcast was 25 minutes late because the final 45 seconds of a St. Joe's-Duquesne women's game took about 25 minutes to complete, due to timeouts and countless replays and reviews. It was brutal.

    Why's it almost always a white guy?

    OK. My guy said it was a good call. Once the clock stops, officials have the option of looking at video of a play in question, even if a foul wasn't called when it first happened. My guy is a high school official who works the table at college games, so he wasn't exactly sure of what would have happened had the time out not been called.

    Not to be outdone by FanDuel last week, Draft Kings is chiming in today for Indiana bettors with an over-51 offer for IU vs. Penn State. Since 51 is the lowest total in the shot clock era. $50 max at -110 odds. What a time to be alive.
