One of the craziest endings you will ever see...

Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
I am watching the Kansas-TCU game. The court at TCU is absolutely horrible - it makes me very dizzy.
Why do officials let Jamie Dixon do this? Why does he get to be a 6th defender? He does it every game.

Two awful braindead possessions for TCU in final minute...now to OT.
Kansas refuses to die, and Ochai Agbaji is one of the best stories of the year.
Agbaji was a late-blooming three-star recruit from Kansas City, MO, who didn't receive an offer from a Power 5 school until January of his senior year. A 6-5 wing who was still developing, the plan was to red-shirt Agbaji behind returning wings Marcus Garrett and LaGerald Vick, as well as 5-star recruit Quentin Grimes.
But then Kansas's season started to wobble. Center Udoka Azubuike got hurt, and the NCAA ruled Silvio de Sousa was ineligible. Pressed for minutes with a thin rotation, the team announced after a loss to Iowa State that it would burn Agbaji's redshirt.
He played so well off the bench that by his seventh game he was starting over Vick, and he poured in 24 points and 7 rebounds against Texas. He has since followed that up with 23 & 6 in a win over Oklahoma State, and a 20-point 11-rebound effort in Kansas's OT win over TCU last night, in which he played an astounding 41 minutes. In light of an injury to Garrett and Vick taking a leave of absence, Agbaji's presence is even more important.
So within the span of about a year, he's gone from ignored recruit to unknown redshirt to possibly Kansas's most important player. I make no secret of my desire for Kansas's regular season conference winning streak to end, but I can't help but cheer for the sensational arrival of Ochai Agbaji.
I am happy for the kid, but it always seems unfair when a blue blood gets saved by an unknown, low-ranked recruit. I'm sensitive to this thanks to the times I've been looking forward to UNC being down, only to see them over achieve with spunky guys expected to be bench warmers. I'll never forgive them for Shammond Williams, or Luke Maye.
A missed offensive interference call isn’t correctable. (I think.)

LSU wins by a tap in at the buzzer. Clearly offensive basket interference, but the refs and the announcers totally missed it.
I only saw the last few plays of the game, and was impressed by how badly the announcers (wasn't one of them Vitale?) could repeatedly watch the very clear replay and opine that it was a good basket because the ball was
"off the rim." They must've shown it five times, clear as a bell the ball was in the cylinder...
