New Mexico falls to Rice on Chris Webber-like timeout gaffe

Shades of Chris Webber in the 1993 NCAA tournament, New Mexico didn't have a timeout to call.

With less than one second remaining, after Rice gave New Mexico all it could handle and the game knotted 89-89, Lobos forward Tim Williams signaled timeout during a loose-ball scramble.

The problem was, his team didn't have any left.

Officials instead handed New Mexico a technical foul, and Rice a free throw, with 0.1 seconds left on the clock. Egor Koulechov nailed it, and the Owls won 90-89.
