Overview
- KeShawn Murphy’s would-be winner from near halfcourt was called good, then overturned on review, giving Texas A&M a 90-88 victory.
- Steven Pearl said the SEC told Auburn the on-court crew and Birmingham replay center had indisputable video to reverse the call, a characterization Auburn rejects.
- The league had not released a statement on the ending as of Thursday, after officials provided little explanation in the moment.
- Fans threw debris as security escorted referees off the court, and video showed no officials being struck.
- The sequence followed a review that reset the clock to 0.6 seconds after Pop Isaacs’ free throw, and the controversy overlays Auburn’s 9-6 start and defensive struggles to open SEC play at 0-2.
