VIDEO: UCLA wins on questionable goaltending call
UCLA was down seven with 1:30 remaining, when Bryce Alford started hitting threes.
His final shot gave UCLA a one-point lead over SMU, but it barely hit the rim. Alford and the Bruins were bailed out by a questionable goaltending call with 13 seconds left.
Alternate angle.
Those turned out to be the game-winning points, as UCLA pulled off the 60-59 upset.

SMU head coach Larry Brown wondered why that type of play isn't reviewable.
"It's not crying over spilled milk, but why would you have all these TV people and take five seconds and review a goaltending?" Brown said. "It might have been goaltending. It probably was. But we've got all these cameras. It happened so fast. But, again, give UCLA credit. Steve's son was tremendous, and they did a lot of good things when it really mattered."
