A closer replay showed that the floor underneath Bacot appeared to cave, causing him to roll his ankle.
So apparently the play that caused Bacot to miss the final seconds was a result of the wood floor literally buckling beneath his foot. Major yikes. Damn shame a moment like that potentially had so much consequence. @NCAA
