Kansas forward Mario Little and the Jayhawks' bench look for a foul after a last-second attempt by Little for a shot against UCLA during the second half, Thursday, Dec. 2, 2010 at Allen Fieldhouse. A foul was called on UCLA guard Malcolm Lee sending Little to the line in which he hit the game-winning free throw to grab a 77-76 win.

If any Kansas fans were feeling guilty about Thursday night’s 77-76 victory over UCLA, this might make them feel a bit better.

In an Andy Katz blog entry on ESPN, the NCAA head of officiating John Adams said that official Doug Sermons made the right call on UCLA’s Malcolm Lee in the final seconds.

The foul call allowed Mario Little to hit the game-winning free throw with 0.7 seconds remaining.
“The refs reacted properly,” Adams told Katz. “The only argument you can make is whether or not it was a foul. It’s a foul. The Kansas kid has control of the ball. It’s incredibly unfortunate to end the game like that. But I’ve looked at the tape this morning and Doug called the foul like he’s supposed to.”
