sucks but was called correctly
That was the right call a definite foul. What they missed was the double dribble. Should have been Auburn's ball anyways
Auburn got robbed with the no call on the double dribble before the foul. Ridiculous.
Correct call. But the stripes let so much crap go uncalled all game long, letting them play..,..., and then they call that. Bogus

Did the Auburn player commit a foul? yep
Was the Virginia player in the act of shooting? yep
Verdict: FOUL!

Bad call missing the double dribble. Correct call on 3 point shot.
Calling a foul on the 3 point shot was inconsistent with the way the game was called all night.
Good call, and the UVA kid had ice in his veins. No emotion. Just steps to the line three times (including a TV timeout) and nails them all.
Attention the fix was in,there was no way that the NCAA was going to let auburn win, with all the controversy with Bruce Pearle and the team, no freaking way was auburn getting a call there way at the end!!!!
but that's different, because dukeThat is how I felt when Zion ran over the UCF player in the closing minutes..
Virginia slid under Auburn guys shooting all game. They got away with all sorts of ****. Sickening game.
It was a foul Stein, what call was he supposed to get? It wasn’t a “fix” when it was the correct call
Not right to make calls based on the stage of the game. Just call them like you see them, in line with the stated rules, all the time.
But that call was inconsistent with the way the game was called all night. If they officiated the same in that last 1.5 seconds as they had done all night then auburn would have won. Refs usually loosen up on the way they’re calling games in the last few minutes so as not to influence the outcome. That happens all the time. But tightening down in the final seconds and calling something you’ve let go all night? That’s a screw job.
Here’s the deal, no matter what game it is, you can always go back and say this or that should have been called. There is no doubt that according to the rule, it was a double dribble. But Auburn was trying to foul him at the same time and grabbed his jersey. They didn’t call that either. So technically you could say they missed that call before the double dribble even happened. So really, there should have been a foul called, then there should have been a double dribble called, and I believe they got the call correct on the three point shot. He makes contact with the players leg, throwing him off balance, with the ball still in his hand. I’m not sure how to add a photo but I have pretty good shots of both instances I’m talking about. No matter how we slice it, someone will always be upset in a situation like that.
I was pulling for Virginia but that shirt to shirt contact on the 3 point shot should never have been called. Got to let the kids play and keep the refs out of the game.
The replays correctly showed that the Auburn player's body pushed into the Virginia 3-point shooter's legs before and as the ball was being released. Initial (camera) angles did not show the foul. Subsequent ones did.
I couldn't care less about either team, so I have no emotional leaning.
1. "The fix was in" is laughable. If the NCAA told the refs to make sure Virginia won, they wouldn't have waited until the final 1.5 seconds in the game to start "fixing".
2. It was a plain double dribble. There was a ref right there. He was anticipating a foul by the defender and failed to see a clear call.
3. Auburn should not have called a time out, Auburn should not have fouled intentionally with 1.5 seconds left and the ball only at half court. It gave Virginia time to plan.
4. The final shot/foul was, at best, a light foul. The defender should have been smarter, but at the same time, a light foul like that should not have been called. Kind of like in football, where a holding or a pass interference call could be made on every play if you call it tight enough.

My guess is, if we were in the exact same spot Virginia was and it was Roby instead of Guy, everyone claiming that was not a foul would be screaming their bloody heads off if it wasn't called.
