Looked like it from where I was and at a critical point of the game too. If so, in fairness to the terrible refs almost impossible to easily see a backcourt in the middle of the court based on the way the logo is done. If I made my living on defensive pressure I’d want the boundaries clearly defined.
Did the refs miss a backcourt on KY?

The TV guys talked about it. Only half of the KY player's body was across the half court line before he reversed & went behind the line. For it to be a back court violation, his entire body would've need to be across
We sit at half court in the upper deck so had a really good vantage point. He wasn’t all the way across the line but it wasn’t by much.
You’d think you wouldn’t be allowed to have a logo that disrupts the half court line.
Lots of schools have bigger logos than we do. It doesn’t interrupt the line. The line goes through the logo, it’s just a lot harder to see. A couple weeks ago, Kansas got called for a backcourt violation in the final minute that contributed to a loss to West Virginia. Replays showed it wasn’t a backcourt, but the line going through the giant Jayhawk logo was so hard to see, it’s hard to blame the ref for missing the call.
They missed a lot more than just that. Always do, but it never matters.
