The player that committed the foul is who screwed them at the end....after the officials screwed them by not calling the double dribble.

Did anyone here have Virginia vs the winner of Texas Tech/MSU in the championship game?
Hell no I had them both out fairly early.

Bad call. But nothing is more karmic, than Bruce Pearl being put in position to complain about the rules.

Listened to that game on Sirius XM (got to watch TT-MSU). The double dribble was the killer. Didn't the officials somehow think that the ball was tipped? Or did they just flat out miss it? (more likely)
Basketball has to be the worst officiated sport. They can call a touch foul from sixty feet away and through as mass of bodies, while the official in the best position to make a call makes the correct no call. They have learned to allow the Euro step, hardly ever call three seconds, allow carrying, double dribble, goaltending, players stepping over the end line as they inbound the ball, players taking longer than ten seconds to shoot a free throw(I haven't seen that lane violation called in decades).
I don't know. Did TV execs complain that too many stoppages of play would harm the product the were paying millions and millions of dollars for? It's hard to say.
The three pointer by Guy with about six seconds left to cut it one was the real killer. And the Auburn player only being able to to make one of two free throws. He left the door open, and Virginia ripped it off the hinges.

I have Virginia vs MSU in the Championship game with Virginia winning it.
I'm betting @BryceC is gonna tell us he would rather have ISU win the Big12 tournament instead of being like pathetic Texas Tech getting bounced in their first game of the Big12 tournament by a bottom dweller. I mean we all know that that conference tournaments aren't meaningless, they are actually way better and more fun than the NCAA tournament. Big12 tournament title >>>>>> NCAA winner/runner up.

It's obvious in retrospect, but is not obvious in the flow of the game. Most everybody didn't really recognize it, coaches, announcers, fans. It's one of those plays that just doesn't look that obvious when it happens but ends up being a blatent rule violation.
Connor McCaffery did the exact same play/double-dribble in one of their last second shot wins. He was dribbling, the ball booted off his foot, he ran it down picked it up and started driving again.
It happens. That same play probably happens and goes uncalled a lot in a NCAA season.

Damn right. I think the 3 sec in the lane rule has gone by the wayside. And yes, they do seem to carry the ball a lot when they dribble. Their hand starts on the bottom of the ball and they turn it over to dribble when driving. Drives me nuts.

I have been complaining to my wife all season that it appears they have changed how double dribble is called. I saw it all year long, someone would half muff a catch, put the ball on the deck, pick it up to reestablish control, and then they start dribbling. The way it was called when I played, that was a double dribble.

I had Virginia vs Michigan....so close yet not really....
What really f'ed my bracket is I had Auburn losing to New Mexico State and if you watched that game, it probably should have happened.

They will certainly have earned the championship if they win it.

I noticed this all the time as well. A player would go to receive a pass and push the ball to the floor, then catch it, then take off dribbling. It would look so obvious to me.
