Josh Shipp Hits Ridiculous (and Illegal) Over the Backboard Shot for Another UCLA Comeback Victory

Karma apparently had a change of mind in the final 31 seconds of California's upset bid over UCLA. Surely I thought the Bruins were going to be handed a loss after the refs handed them a victory Thursday night.

Not so much.

Down most of the game, trailing by 4 with 31 seconds left, Kevin Love proceeded to hit a flailing three-pointer. Then Cal turned the subsequent inbounds pass over and the final two-point ridiculousness courtesy of Josh Shipp can be seen above.

Is that even legal? On UCLA's home court this week apparently anything is.

UCLA 81, California 80

1	NCAA Rule Book Rule 7, Section 1, Rule 3: "The ball shall be out of bounds when it passes over the backboard from any direction" That would mean that Shipp's shot shouldn't have counted. The only thing that makes that game better is if it is on CBS with Gus Johnson doing the call. Even though I think Musburger did a very good job with it.

0	UCLA should probably be on a two game losing streak if it were not for the refs helping them out at the end of regulation.

0	It turns out that the shot actually was legal. Gameday is going to break it down and tell us why in between the clip for Speedo guy and Tyler Hansbrough playing ping pong, followed by Dickie V.

2	The NCAA statistics datacenter might be in India, so according to relational vectors, the shot went under the backboard.

0	(Edited by kantwistaye) Honestly, I'm so amazingly dissapointed that there have been 4 bad game-changing calls that benefitted big name schools this year and none of them were for Duke. 2 for UCLA and 2 for G'Town.
