I am no aTm fan, however I root for them because they are in the Big 12 conference. Last night they got totally screwed by the officials protecting the 1 Seed UCLA.

aTm blew a 10 point second half lead because they didn't take care of the ball and they shot poorly from the free throw line, but they didn't play bad enough to lose the game.

The officials took care of that part. In the last 3 or 4 minutes there were probably 10 no calls on blocked shots and put back attempts when aTm had the ball in the paint. Those are what cost them the game, but this non call, on the last shot of the game shows exactly what kind of bias existed. I know the game was in Anaheim, California and UCLA is a #1 Seed in the tournament, but none of that should matter.

Look at the picture and tell me. Foul, or no foul?

He was completely raped on that shot... The last 5 minutes or so in the game went the same way. Pretty rough play and inconsistent calls. It's a tough call to make with seconds to go. A&M shouldn't have been in this situation anyway. They couldn't make anything down the stretch.....

I didn't get to watch the end of the game, but I did see some highlights. That call was terrible. How many calls can UCLA get in one year. They are Oklahoma in football!! Isn't that right cowpokes

I had A&M beating UCLA in my bracket. Now I'm screwed.
