The referees for the Tennessee and Mississippi State game have been heavily criticized after play was not stopped during the game when Nick Weatherspoon was done with an injury.
Here is the statement

The play on which Nick Weatherspoon was injured unfolded in a rapid sequence of events that led to the continuation of play after Nick initially fell under the Mississippi State basket,? said Mark Whitehead, SEC Coordinator of Officials. ?The officials did not recognize Nick was injured until after the transition that led to the completion of the play where, unfortunately, he remained on the floor.?
They did not recognize he was injured.... that's not an excuse. 2 refs saw him when the ball was stolen.
