It's that moment of slow realization that is the most painful to watch on a play like this.
North Texas called a timeout in a tie game with 1.4 seconds left. Except the Mean Green didn't have a timeout.
That meant a technical foul and two free throws for Oregon State.
The Beavers made both and escaped with a 66-64 win.
See Jeff Goodman? If you were watching tonight you’d have been treated to 1993 Michigan vs UNC lite. Close game, great finish, and if you squint hard enough, the big brands you were looking for. Stop complaining. Pic.twitter.com/jY0FteCJyP https://t.co/7HkxnEgCQD

It's a moment made most famous by Chris Webber on the above referenced NCAA Tournament stage.
That isn't the only time it has happened, of course. There's a rule in the rulebook about it for a reason.
It's just a rare one. In this case, it appeared to have been a bit of a spontaneous decision by North Texas to get the ball to that logical timeout spot and call one.
The officials had to make sure the book-keeping was in order and that there really were no more North Texas timeouts.
In the end, the Beavers benefited, and they're now 3-0. They may have won anyway, potentially in overtime, but this ending made it a whole lot weirder and quite a bit simpler.
