The NCAA offered an explanation for the controversial final seconds.
After a controversial ending on the final play of the Elite Eight matchup between San Diego State and Creighton on Sunday, the NCAA has come forth with an explanation for the decision from the referees.
The Bluejays’ last-second cross-court inbounds pass was tipped into the air and bounced out of bounds. While the ball appeared to travel out of play with some time left on the clock, officials determined that the game clock did not start when the ball was tipped.

The Creighton coach admitted that “officiating is part of the game.”
The end of the Elite Eight game between No. 5 San Diego State and No. 6 Creighton finished in a weird sequence, to say the least.
The Aztecs ended up winning 57–56 after SDSU guard Darrion Trammell was fouled with 1.2 seconds to play. Trammell made one of his two free throws to seal the win for SDSU.
Some fans weren’t happy with the officiating late in the game, and it certainly wouldn’t be outside the purvey of Creighton head coach, Greg McDermott, to express similar sentiment.

Like many people, he wasn’t happy.
It was a controversial ending to San Diego State’s nail-biting win over Creighton in the Elite Eight on Sunday. Naturally, Charles Barkley didn’t hide his opinion and shared what he thought of the game’s final seconds. 
“I hate when a referee decides a game,” he said on the postgame show, according to Matt Mosley of Fox Sports. 
What Barkley is referring to is the controversial call that came in the game’s final moments with both teams tied at 56.

This isn’t the ending fans wanted. But officials got it right with a trip to the Final Four on the line.

The illustrious coach has guided New England to six Super Bowl titles in 23 seasons.
Over the last 23 years, the Bill Belichick-led Patriots have forged a legacy built on their six Super Bowl titles, and consistent regular season and postseason success. But, for the first time in the illustrious head coach’s tenure, New England stands to enter an upcoming season firmly facing stark odds at another Lombardi Trophy in the eyes of oddsmakers.

Cameron Young saved his biggest shots for the end Sunday in a turnaround to knock out Rory McIlroy, and Sam Burns also posted a surprise win, eliminating close friend and defending champion Scottie Scheffler at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play event.

South Carolina coach Dawn Staley does not think anyone should read too much into UConn failing to advance to the Final Four for the first time since 2007 as a harbinger of things to come, saying Sunday that “UConn is going to continue to be UConn.

Texas big man Dylan Disu has been ruled out for the Elite Eight matchup against Miami because of a foot injury.
