If you go back and watch the play the ball goes directly to a Texas player not out of bounds. The rule is stupid and I was pretty mad when they came back from break and just casually mentioned they had reversed the call. I had the same thought you did but in this case it didn’t cost anything but...
Because of conference seeding rules it’s likely that the 3 and 4 seeds in each region would change if UT was moved from the West to the South. So they may end up in the South with the same 3 and 4 except now you have Houston waiting on you instead of Arizona.
Having a pretty ****ty start to the work day. This actually made me laugh out loud on my crapfest of a conference call. I think I can now make it till 5 oclock
