The basket clearly came after the horn sounded and the backboard light went off. On CBS, they made the score 53-49 but then quickly changed it back to 51-49. On the replay the official can be seen in the background waving the basket off.
Has UCLA passed Duke yet as the school with the biggest refs-help-them-win reputation? They probably should have.

Maybe it's just chalked to the physical nature of the game. "No blood, no foul."

But the "official" box score online says 53-49.

That's enough for tonight.
Thank you. Tuck rule my ___!
