Auburn got screwed

[tbonezone]

when i grew up the hand was considered to be ball. i can't stand when they call a foul for hitting the hand on a trey after the ball is released. that was not the case here. this was full body contact during the release.

 

[DeGrozz]

Double dribble.

NCAAM needs VAR.

jk

 

[Briancuse]

Agreed. But you didn't know that when you posted so don't move the goalposts.

I saw the double dribble they missed it.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Definitely a foul on the shot. Body into the shooter's thigh/waist before the shot was released.
The double-dribble was missed. I didn't see where the refs were at the time, but they must have assumed the defender hit the ball. Without seeing if that definitely did happen or didn't, you just don't blow the whistle.

Tough for Auburn fans. Will soon be forgotten in the grand scheme of things in the Virginia and national narrative.

 

[EastCoast2]

Agree. No way the ref should be calling small body touch after the ball was released. Horrific.

Guy was definitely bumped before the ball left his hands.

 

[creatorsgam]

Auburn touched him that caused the double dribble. Referee was just too late to call it foul until the second foul.

I think it happened just before the contact... but it ultimately doesn’t matter.

Should have been called regardless.

 

[stuckinbig11]

and the Auburn point guard was pushing off three times on one possession--nothing called

 

[doc05]

Good call. Bye bye coach Pearl.

Foul was legit. You can’t undercut, especially if you make contact pre-release. No issues there.

The missed DD was a tough call, but should have been made.

Someone’s going to need to help me on Auburn’s possession where the got the reboun with :30 to go. Called time out with just over :20 and then inbounded to the backcourt.

I thought they did away with the :10 reset after a timeout? Should that have been :10 violation?

No, it won't.

Guy was fouled. Truth.

Virginia shouldn't have even had a chance to hit a game tying/winning shot if the refs did their job. Truth.

Do you think that the NCAA didn't want Auburn in the championship game so that it won't have to deal with vacating their possible championship once everything comes out dealing with the FBI investigation of Chuck Person?

All I know is it cost me the chance at $360. Bastards

Everyone quit bellyaching for Auburn ..all the morons had to do was not give the foul intentionally with 1.5 seconds left and UVA about to hurl a desperation 45 footer

 

[OrlandoCuse]

100 percent a foul on the three. The double dribble was bang bang, tough to call that a screwjob.

Lol, double standard much?

Jerome would have been taking that shot from closer than people realize. It wasn't going to be a halfcourt heave. It would have been unguarded and straight on. Not a high percentage look but certainly makeable

Ya but what about the double dribble

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Makeable in the way that any shot that is taken towards the hoop is “makeable”

 

[Delmar]

Too bad for Auburn because of the double-dribble. Now they won't have to vacate a national championship. This is pure karma for Pat Dye and hiring Bruce Pearl.

 

[Brooky03]

Eh. He's a great 3 point shooter who would have been shooting uncontested from a few feet outside NBA range with his momentum going towards the hoop. IDK the percentage on that but it's not far off the percentage on a heavily contested, fadeaway corner 3.

I was thinking the same thing. Looked like Auburn rebounded with 0:31 or 0:30 left, and they called the timeout at 20.6 seconds left, about 8 feet away from midcourt.

 

[Delmar]

Karma! F Pearl.

I never thought I'd ever read a post on this board that said "F Pearl."

 

[Briancuse]

Pearl is a dbag don't feel sorry for him in the least but auburn got robbed.
