It looks like we should have had another tick on the clock. Unfortunate.
The team put itself in that tight spot, however. There was that roughly minute long stretch where we threw the ball away, had a shot blocked and committed a foul. We started that run up by 5, and with the ball.
My bet is we won't be that sloppy tomorrow night.

For what it's worth (nothing), the league admits its error:

You would think that verifying the actual time left in a close game would be one of the things allowed, especially with mere seconds left. The extra time would have made a second pass possible.

I'd rather they'd caught that obvious offensive Goal tending by Their Kelly O. Take that away we win and would've played yesterday!
