One of the best reffed games of the tourney. Tough call at .6 left but the right one.

Guy looks like the grown up Malcom from Malcom in the middle a little.

Wow! No way that foul gets called if it were Auburn shooting. Brutal way to lose.

You call it every time, it's a clear foul on a jump shooter. If you don't call fouls on jump shooters you don't have basketball.

Exactly. An airborne shooter is as sacred as mothers and puppies.

You just don’t mess with them

Just a miracle game. Kid from Virginia got some huge onions. Hit all 3 and avoided overtime. If they don't win it all its a wasted gift.
 
the foul call at the end was the right call. Credit Guy for hitting 3 foul shots at the end-that's clutch foul shooting. Harper on Auburn making 17 FTs in a row meant nothing after missing the 2nd free throw that could have put them up by 3 instead of just 2. Like Donyell in 94 who made 20 FTs in a game but then missed the 2 FTs against Florida in Sweet 16. I don't care what your shooting % is or what FT records you have-let's see how you shoot under pressure in a close game.
 
The double dribble on UVA should have been called. Right in front of a ref

Gifted the title game, clear double dribble on Jerome.

Yup. Called it live.

I don’t know how they missed that one. It was off the back side of the player, a defender would have to be Gumby to have touched the ball

Tough way to lose a game. Kind of feel for Auburn

A foul on a jump shooter should be called every single time? Think about what you're saying.

Blame the refs for giving UVA the game with the clear double dribble.

hard to say, SuperJohn. I mean remember Gardner Webb being up 14 against these guys. Virginia looked terrified at that point and had flashbacks to the UMBC game. And then Purdue should've finished them off, too.
 
The foul call on the shot was 100% correct.

The no-call on the double dribble right before that was horrendous officiating...

I saw that and I never thought it was a double dribble until the replay was shown. Its amazing in the flow of a close game and at the end, how something so clear gets missed.

Did anyone here call it immediately?
