Refs use stopwatch to overturn Boise State's game-winner
Yes, a stop watch was used instead of technology.Les get this out of the way. The call was wrong in Colorado State's win over Boise State, plain and simple. The Broncos had the ball with .8 seconds left in regulation and James Webb III appeared to hit the game-winner on an amazing falling away shot that was banked in.
— Sean Star (@seanvstar) February 11, 2016 Well, the person managing the clock was slow to start the time so the officials went to the monitors to review to see if Webb's shot would count or not. In the end it did not; the real gaffe is that the way to determine this was via a handheld stopwatch and somehow the officials kept getting just over one second for each time.
