If we really did ask the refs not to make those calls with the game on the line, then the strategy for the team in front would be to just brutally mug the shooter for the win.

A foul is a foul....regardless if it's the first 5 seconds or last 5 seconds of the game.
I'm not a fan of either team...but A&M got jobbed tonight. 4-5 straight possessions - UCLA had free reign to defend however they wanted without worry of fouling.
That said - if A&M had an outside shooter - we'd be talking about the upset.
