So we win!  Now, for someone who knows nothing about this game, why on earth did we take a shot on goal when we had the ball and the lead with 30 seconds left.  Why not just run out the clock?  As it turned out, we gave the ball back to UCLA and let them have a chance to tie it up.

There must be something basic that I don't understand.
