With competent officiating, KU has a three possession lead down the stretch. But yeah, let's just focus on one bad call in a game of many because it was the last one of regulation.

There's no need to get overly-defensive about this. Sometimes the refs inexplicably blow a game-changing call that hands the game over to our team. It happens.

KU gets the benefit of calls all the time (particularly at home). I'm the first person to admit that. And while they got the benefit of a call at the end tonight, they did not get the benefit of the calls throughout the game. ISU did. Despite that hindrance, KU still managed to keep it close enough to get the benefit of that bad call at the end and close enough to have EJ take over the game down the stretch (to the point that it would matter). They were the better team tonight and deserved the win. Anybody who tries to suggest differently either didn't watch the game (it sounds like you didn't if you're just seeing the last play now), has an agenda against KU, or simply doesn't have a clue about anything they witnessed.
