Michigan State’s clock operator had a bit of trouble in the final seconds of Sunday’s MSU – Florida Gulf Coast game. With less than two-seconds left in the game, watch as the operator starts the clock without the ball being touched.

Izzo said the officials start and stop the clock. Wasn't an MSU clock operator.

Dooley said the play was for Simmons to catch the ball, take a dribble and lay it in. When the clock sounded, Simmons shot it, instead.
