Aggies fans endured a difficult loss to UCLA Saturday in a game that was plagued by inconsistent officiating that took away any flow or tempo from the contest.

The last thing that should surprise anyone is a final second call going UCLA's way, but now it's getting out of hand.

College basketball officiating is always interesting and this weekend was no exception with technical fouls being given out like passes for a free chicken sandwich at Chick-Fila and of course this fine no-call at the end of the UCLA-Texas A&M on Saturday night.

Even though the UCLA/Texas A&M game didn't come down to a final shot, it very easily could have. This was a game where every basket seemed critical, because every one came so infrequently. In the end though, UCLA gutted out a game that for all intents and purposes they should have lost. Texas A&M had them on the ropes all game, but couldn't knock them out.
