Top-seeded Arizona held on to defeat ninth-seeded TCU 85-80 in overtime last night after officials seemed to miss a foul in the final seconds of regulation.
Not only was a potential foul not called, but the game clock paused for a split second in anticipation of the foul that never came.

The result of a foul would have been TCU going to the line for a chance to pull the upset.
Instead, the Wildcats prevailed in the extra period.
Former NCAA coordinator of officials John Adams believes it was a foul:
Just saw this play from late last night. 1st problem is the “trail” official doesn’t realize he’s responsible for 10 second line officiating. 2nd problem is it sure looks like a foul. Tough play for @TCUBasketball to stomach. Seems most, not all,of 1st 52 games had 2-3 of these. https://t.co/0fnA5w0XPM

There was also a bit of whiff by the officials in overtime:
