Oregon-UNC game interrupted after game ball goes missing

Officials lost the game ball late in the second half.

A ranked matchup between the No. 11 Oregon Ducks and the No. 6 North Carolina Tar Heels was delayed late in the second half after officials lost the game ball and had to find and identify the authorized ball before play could continue.

The official ball was apparently mixed up during a timeout while there was a show for the fans on the court, and was mistakenly taken off the court. North Carolina head coach Roy Williams helped the officials recover the multiple balls that were on the floor, and after a few minutes, play finally resumed.

UNC held on for a 78-74 win.
