What is the standard for video review in college basketball?

Does there need to be "indisputable evidence" in order to reverse a call?

Obviously I'm referring to the rebound that went through an Illinois player's legs, where there was no camera angle available, that could show that it did not make contact with the player's legs / shorts. Call on the floor was NU ball. If the standard is "indisputable evidence" needed to overturn it... that would have been impossible, with the camera angles available.

I don't know what standard NCAA Basketball uses, curious to know.

It’s possible they had an angle you did not see. But true none of the replays they showed justified overturning the decision.

Is that confirmed - there are additional, non-TV cameras that go into the feed that referees have access to?

If true, I did not know that... and knowing how most arenas are set up, I don't see where those cameras would be located.

It was a 50-50 play that went to the home team. Should never have gotten to that point.
I agree it was 50-50, but that's why the standard of review is important. If "indisputable evidence" is required in order to overturn the call that was made live, then a 50-50 call should stand as called. Heck even a 90-10 call should stand... with indisputable meaning... indisputable, 100-0.

Also possible they were able to overturn the call by having NOT called the ball off the leg live but having definitive proof MN touched it after the originally called touch.
 
We should never have let it get to that point, we should have been winning by 20.

Yes but given the way the ball went between the Illini player's legs and clearly was in extremely close proximity to that player, such that it may have touched the player's leg / shorts... in order to overturn the call that was made, you'd also have to have "indisputable evidence" that it didn't touch the Illini player as the last touch before going out of bounds.

Assuming that "indisputable evidence" is the standard. Still don't have an answer on that. Maybe the standard is they don't consider the call on the floor, and the post-video review decision is based on the "most likely correct" call. That would be a very different standard - under that standard I could understand why this call was made in this situation.
