FGCU's Miracle Pass vs. USF (Jamail Jones To Chase Fieler) Negated

The basket is not valid due to the Trent Tucker Rule

NCAA

FGU made an unbelievable shot to tie the game vs FSU with less than a second to play.
But the referees invalidated the basket due to the Trent Tucker Rule.

According to the Trent Tucker Rule, which was adopted by the NCAA in 2001, if .3 seconds or less are left on the clock, the only field goal allowed is a "tip-in". Because the ball was clearly out of Fieler's hands by the time the clock expired, the logically explanation is that the refs deemed it a "shot" and not a "tip-in".

"In any period, when the game clock displays 10ths of seconds and play is to be resumed by a throw-in or a free throw when 3/10 (.3) of a second or less remains on the game clock, a player may not gain possession of the ball and try for a field goal. Such player can only score a field goal by means of a tap of the pass or of a missed free throw." NCAA Rule 5, Section 1, Article 18.

FSU won 68-66.
