I'm not well versed in NCAA mechanics. In FIBA, the outside officials have responsibility for the flight of the ball and related issues. That being said, with such an egregious error the lead should have stepped up.

Rarely do the officials cost a team the game but in this case they did.

-1 WRONG!!
While they missed the call, they did NOT cost a team the game. Now, I might have agreed with you if you said they cost a team a chance to win the game, but if they had gotten this call right, it would have (most likely) gone into overtime. Once in OT, anything could happen.
