The first thing I wanted to look at this morning was Shay's buzzer-beater at the end of Q1. The refs came over to look at it, and one of the refs told her that Shay clearly beat the buzzer. But she insisted on looking at the inbounds pass and made the scoretable dude play it many times. She decided that they hadn't started the clock when Shay touched the ball and DQ'ed the basket.

1) I've definitely had my complaints about slow clock management in the past, but I've never seen the refs do a darned thing about it. Anyone seen this?

2) Seems unfair, though, to the shooter because likely they're looking at the shotclock when deciding when to put the ball up

3) Did the announcers ever comment on this? They start Q2 with 29 points (rather than 27) and a minute or so later it quietly switches to 27.

So without rewatching everything, I can’t say for sure but
1. Q2 starts with Stanford at 29 points, and suddenly 2 points disappear at 9:30 in q2
2. This is unnoticed apparently by the announcers and there is no explanation
3. No comments at halftime either
4. The NCAA rules are vague about fixing a clock error, but yes this seems like a gross abuse of power
5. The officials are liars if they claimed conclusive proof that the shot would have been late. The clock starts maybe a few tenths slow, and that is about the clock left when Shay releases the ball.
6. The clock is slow to stop after the foul that leads into that play by several tenths so if we are fixing clock errors, go fix all the clock errors. Or maybe more to the point acknowledge the time keeper is human and not a robot and that they have reaction time of a few tenths.
7. I repeat my earlier comment on women’s officiating being a disgrace. Never seen anything like what happened here before.

I went back and tried running a stopwatch from the time Shay first touched the ball 'til the time it left here hand. I'd get b/n 3.64 and 3.84. So it was close. Stupid to overrule the call on the floor.
