The Santa Clara Broncos thought they had this game won.

Instead, Otega Oweh hit a game-tying 3-pointer for Kentucky at the regulation buzzer, and then the Wildcats ran away in overtime.

There's one moment that has begun to circulate on social media that adds to the pain, though.

When Santa Clara hit its go-ahead 3-pointer, head coach Herb Sendek tried to call timeout.

A team can call a timeout on a made basket before the ball is inbounded by the other team, and that's what Sendek wanted. He wanted to set his defense up after the massive shot.

UK check cleared

Timeout not called withstanding, Herb Sendek has been a HC for 30 years, they should’ve fouled Oweh as soon as he caught the ball.

That’s on them

I want everyone to go back and look up when a timeout has been granted to the team that just MADE A BASKET.

It only happens after a dead ball.

Not my vagina. You made my brain bleed. The part where I think logical.

Herb Sendek is trying to sell that you can call time-out AFTER you make a basket. As if you can line up and steal another possession.

Herb Sendek is full of shite.

Who cares if they did ? Honestly ... this fiction is wearing me out.

You don't get to call time-out after a made basket by your team in college ball. The other team takes possession. Its not a dead ball.

Sendek is ... frankly ... full of shite.

Aberdeen has the ball in his hands before Sendek tried to call the timeout. Offensive team can call timeout but defensive team cannot.

If the ball was loose he could. But it wasn’t. Aberdeen had it before Sendek tried to call it.

His problem is he is trying to get the attention of the official who now has responsibility for the U.K. end of the court. You want that timeout, you signal toward the baseline official. But UK got the ball to in bounds so fast I don’t think it would have been granted anyway.
