In a battle of two top-15 teams, No. 14 UH fell to No. 9 Alabama 83-82 on a controversial ending Saturday night at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Down one as the final seconds ticked off the clock, UH senior guard Kyler Edwards put up a 3-pointer that bounced off the back of the rim.
Senior forward Fabian White Jr. flew in from under the basket and tipped the ball back towards the rim before Alabama’s JD Davison came out of nowhere and swatted the ball away as the clock hit triple zeros.
Kelvin Sampson was furious, imploring to the referees that Davison took the ball off the rim while it was still on the cylinder.
