The most confusing basketball play of the season happened in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge Wednesday, when both Virginia Tech and Penn State were caught napping at the free-throw line. Virginia Tech’s Adam Smith fouled Penn State’s Peyton Banks, sending him to the line (it was Virginia Tech’s ninth foul of the half). The automatic two-shot bonus only kicks in after a team’s tenth foul of the half, so Banks was shooting a one-and-one. Literally no one on the court was aware of this except for the referees.

Banks shot and missed his first free throw, meaning the ball was live and play should have resumed. Thinking he has a second free throw coming, Banks turned around to high-five a teammate. Meanwhile, Shep Garner got an offensive rebound and the easiest layup he’ll ever score, but it appears that even he was just joking around. After scoring, Garner walks right back to his original position on the block and lines up for another FT… until the referee leaves the ball for Virginia Tech to inbound.
