Thumbs down: CBS has reporters and cameras at sites all over America in an attempt to cover every conceivable angle of play and every worthwhile story.

Why, then, did the crew working UCLA's 51-49, second-round victory over Texas A&M neglect to examine the biggest non-call — in UCLA's favor — in the tournament?

UCLA, which benefited from egregious officials' calls in Pacific 10 regular-season and tournament play, got away with another hack job when Josh Shipp "blocked" a shot by A&M guard Donald Sloan with the Bruins clinging to a two-point lead in the final seconds. Shipp clearly grabbed Sloan's right arm and ripped the ball free. That allowed UCLA's Russell Westbrook to scoop up the loose ball and keep possession as time expired.

Afterward, the announcing crew never talked about the final play and CBS didn't show a single replay, which would have shown the foul.

That's an irresponsible job by CBS and another blown call that helped the Bruins prevail. The pattern is disturbing.
