I was watching the game as well. Here's what happened, and what was ruled.

Purdue shot the ball off of the backboard without touching the rim with about 2 seconds left on the shot clock. A couple players went for the rebound, and black tipped the ball towards the basket where it hit the bottom of the rim. After that, there was a scramble for the ball. The shot clock was not reset and expired with neither team in control of the ball.

The officials did go to the video tape, where they decided the tip was not a FG attempt, and called a shot-clock violation. Texas got the ball. While inbounding the ball in front of the TV announcers, the official verbally told them (I could hear it somewhat audibly) that they didn't consider the tip a try.

IMHO, it should have been considered a try. It looked to me like a semi-controlled tap. The arrow was going to Texas anyway, so I thought it was the easiest decision to make. There was an AP later in the game, so Purdue did kind of get screwed out of a possession.
