I really can't tell by looking at whether it was the right call or a bad call; whether the ball hit the rim or didn't BUT what I did see -
I did see UCLA Bruin forward Kevon Looney appear to come up with what would have been the rebound with 10.7 seconds left on the clock; plenty of time for him to go back up with a two point attempt to tie the game, assuming he wouldn't have ended booting the board, or dish to a team mate for another tying two point attempt or a three point attempt that could have taken the lead.
So we don't what would have happened if goaltending hadn't been called.
I keep hearing the so called "experts" claim the controversial call allowed UCLA to advance but that isn't necessarily the case - the Bruins certainly could have ended up winning and advancing had the goaltend not been called.
But then experts usually have no idea what they're talking about.
