Irish basketball teams ordered to replay last 0.3 seconds of quarter-final tie
The NAC ruled the match should be replayed in its entirety, but Basketball Ireland has since said the option to appeal was "granted in error".
The NLC then ruled the fixture would not be replayed in full, but that the remaining 0.3 seconds should be played.
...
The controversy came after Jason Killeen was adjudged to have been fouled in the act of shooting as the final buzzer sounded. The former Ireland captain landed the two resulting free throws to edge the Eagles ahead.
Those points stand, so they will lead 80-78 when the final 0.3 seconds of the match begin.

So they all have to reconvene to watch Portlaoise Panthers try to score from a single throw at the far end of the court, I guess.
