If the operator is on the ball, Roy never signals for a timeout and they at least get a Hail Mary shot. Those kids got screwed. Probably not out of a win, but out of a chance at one.
EDIT: And I'm not saying it was the wrong call. The call was right. But the timekeeper still screwed UNC, and that was wrong. You can't get that wrong in the final seconds of a game with national title implications.
