The angle you mention was the one shown most the last few times on 
television.  In addition to looking as if the ball changed direction 
off a Baylor player, it looked from that angle as if it could have 
come pretty close to a Cornhusker player--but previous shots from a 
different angle seemed to make it clear it was never very close to 
any NU players.
