Strange shot clock call stuns Illinois fans

A wild moment in Champaign left Illinois women’s basketball fans scratching their heads. Late in the game against North Texas, the Illini were hit with a shot clock violation—even though the shot clock never started! Officials stopped play, checked the video, and decided enough time had passed on the game clock to call the violation. Illinois coach Shauna Green was just as confused as everyone else. The call didn’t change the outcome, but it’s got people talking: Should refs rely on the game clock when the shot clock fails? What’s the fairest way to handle this? #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #ShotClock
