Watch this video of the end of the UCLA vs. Texas A&M second round game. The video is only 65 seconds long. The video doesn't appear to me to have been altered/edited. A&M CLEARLY GOT ROBBED.

Regardless of people's opinion of whether the officiating of UCLA vs. XU was good or not, I think that UCLA absolutely robbed A&M at the end of UCLA's second round game vs. A&M. The A&M player was CLEARLY FOULED NOT ONCE BUT TWICE as he drove the lane with about 5 seconds left. That was one of the worst no-calls I have ever seen. So, I think that game should have gone to OT with UCLA potentially losing.

Great post by muskiedude:

Here is an interesting paragraph in the Phoenix paper today.

Miller marveled after the game at how aggressive the Bruins can play without fouling. He joked that Love could have played 200 minutes without getting his second foul. Indeed the first-half box score reflected an ODD statistic. Despite, nine offensive rebounds, Xaiver had only three free throw attempts in the first half, missing all, and two of the three came off an intentional foul.

UCLA did not rob A&M it was the refs that robbed them. They might be human and missed it but come on someone eyes should have seen it or maybe we need more refs....or just better refs. Too many of these refs have a "Good reputation" earned maybe in the past like Higgins but are past prime. Others are just lazy or worse. Some refs get caught up in the play and watch how beautiful it is developing but in this case. They were robbed and no amount of talking or describing can take away what those pictures show.
