I don't have a rule book with me, so don't know, but do the officials have any discretion in this case? From what the article says, the fans were quickly ushered off the court. Could the officials have allowed play to just continue at that point?

I don't know what the NCAA rule is but I would hope it is similar to NFHS: 2.8.1 NOTE: "The officials may call fouls on either team if its supporters act in such a way as to interfere with the proper conduct of the game. Discretion must be used in calling such fouls, however, lest a team be unjustly penalized."
The key word here seems to be "unjustly." I think this case could possibly be considered unjust.
