Did you see this game? I only had a radio feed of it, but the Hawaii announcers seemed clear that Vegas was very interested in the line moving from 1 to 3 on the game, and then the favorite unusually won, but failed to cover, which makes Vegas the most money in 90 percent of the games -- just like this one.
in the last 43 seconds several strange things happened according to the announcers, ending with a shot after the buzzer (according to them) which the referees counted anyway. The radio Hawaii announcers started talking heavily about the Vegas line and those implications with a few minutes to go. Did you actually see the game? (on TV or there?) There was no feed for it on the usual streaming sites, so I only had radio from the school ...
Phantom foul with 43 seconds left gives SB 3 free throws ... Foul with 8 seconds left was an intentional elbow to the face and should have been intentional for 2 shots and the ball back ... then check out the 3 pointer with no time ... announcers indicated it was after time expired, "didn't matter", but the refs counted it anyway -- fav. wins, but failed to cover after the line moved from 1 to 3 points -- Vegas cleans up
There were a few other odd things I cannot remember, but these ones stood out and are documented to some extent in the ESPN play by play:

Oh, and I also just noticed what the play by play from ESPN fails to indicate, which was by the radio announcers, was that on that final shot at the buzzer, there was actually another final shot at the buzzer for 3 by Heidegger, who was blocked by a Hawaii player, and then the ball bounced around between Heidegger and the block apparently out of bounds or nearly out of bounds, but then it somehow wound up in the hands of a SB player maybe out of bounds, definitely deep in the corner, barely visable to the radio announcers ... It definitely wasn't passed to him deep in the corner, just a block of Heidegger who did not seem to be near the corner.
Then, per the announcers, the last shot was after double zeros, but counted by the refs anyway.
As I say, the announcers began openly speaking heavily about Vegas and the Vegas line very close to the end, and seemed to be concerned that a fix with the officials calls might even change the outcome of the game at the end. They were happy when at least 1 of 2 freethrows were hit with 8 seconds to go after there should have been an intentional above the shoulders call made (but there was not so Hawaii did not get the ball in addition to the 2 free throws). Maybe they were just homers for Hawaii, but seemed pretty certain about the intentional foul. When the first free throws were made they said they bet the refs were happy about that as it sealed the Hawaii win so that the refs were "off the hook" for their bad calls, especially the intentional, at least as it pertained to who was going to win the game ....
And then the block of Heidegger by Hawaii which normally shows up in the ESPN play by play ... but did not above for some reason.
And then somehow a shot after the buzzer cut the margin to the original opening line of 1, whereas the public had apparently bet the game up to 3.
Interesting game.
