Something I'd never seen before
 
Watching a college game last night, home team well up and gets possession with 37 seconds left. Starts playing keep away. Shot clock expires; horn sounds, game clock runs off, game horn sounds, and everybody leaves the floor.

Seemed like great game management, but I was curious if you all thought this was okay.

Was a try taken with two seconds left (and the try didn't end for two seconds)?

Was it a non-varsity game? Maybe those involved implemented 5-6.2

No, the ball was being dribbled at the time. It was a varsity game; maybe they invoked it anyway.

There was an NCAA memo about this type of thing a couple of years ago. The memo stated to properly penalize shot clock violations and traveling in the final few seconds of games even when teams were just holding the ball and running out the clock.
Also the officials are not supposed to accept the ball when a player tries to hand it to them if there is still time remaining on the clock. Wait until the horn sounds before touching the ball.
