Players are gradually learning how to maximize their roles. Chemistry is looking more and more cohesive. Still some erratic play in stretches, but it hasn't been killing us.

Defense got beat on some tip-ins underneath, but overall I thought the rebounding looked solid, and guys were grabbing boards with some authority.

on my TV, when the light comes on there is still half a second on the clock... probably why he doesn't have the lower part of the picture there.

Uh, tv clock does not decide end of game. Red light decides, officially.

And actually my Dish DVR super slow mo shows the ball in his hands when the tv clock hit 0.

The backboard lights are the official timer, not ESPN...wow

The "TV clock" isn't the official clock. They get a data feed that goes from the scorer's table, to the back, into the production truck, through CG software, and then it appears on the screen.

Might be different at arenas, but in Maui they had a camera dedicated to a clock off to the side.

Right, I knew the TV clock isn't official, but just saw the discrepancy and didn't know the red lights were the official ending.

You can tell based on the display. If it's in the same font as the score/text, it's a data feed. If it looks like a scoreboard clock, then they're shooting an auxiliary clock with a camera and using that as the primary.

Well thinking logically here....the players are the ones playing. What they see are the backboard lights and the clock above the backboard. Whatever you see on TV isn't what they're seeing. So something like a backboard light is the official end of game.

Anyway, it doesn't matter unless you're gambling or there's some rating system that takes into account the margin of victory. ISU won a tough road game and that's all that matters whether it was a 4 point victory or 1 point victory. It was a close game and ISU pulled it out.
