With 1:53 left in the NCAA championship game and Duke beating Wisconsin 63-58, the Badgers' Bronson Koenig missed a layup and the ball fell out of bounds.

Initially the refs ruled that it touched no one, but there was suspicion it hit Duke's Justise Winslow, so they went to an official review. Here's what they saw:



The final decision: Not enough evidence to overturn the call, giving the Blue Devils the ball. Tyus Jones promptly hit a 3-pointer, putting Duke up eight instead of Wisconsin, potentially, pulling to within one possession.

Duke went on to win 68-63, and the decision drew the ire of a number of pro players:
