The guys at Deadspin watched the game last night; this morning they bemoan "one of the worst calls we’ve ever seen in professional sports."

Yeah, it was a bad call. Luckily, it didn't matter.

In case you missed it, Taj shot an airball with 19 seconds left. The refs, apparently in disbelief that anyone could miss so badly, determined that it must have been deflected by Yo, who was contesting. So they gave the ball back to Connecticut. The replays showed their clear error.

But the Sun missed the next shot anyway, curing the error. If the call had gone the other way, the game would have played out completely differently. Maybe it would have been better for Connecticut (someone other than Lawson might have gotten the inbound, missed free throws, and Connecticut could have won in regulation). Or maybe it would have been better for Sacto (someone other than Wyckoff might have taken the Sun's final shot and missed).

There's just no way to know.
