Refs held their whistle on a clear reach in foul, and then changed the call on the court because the UVA player *allegedly* made the ball roll off the TTU player's pinky. None of you saw the ball change direction twice. It only changed direction once. horseshite of a call and I don't even like Tech. For all you saying it didn't decide the game you are talking out of your fricking arse. Tech had the ball down 2 with just over a minute to play and should have been going to the line. Instead this gives Virginia the ball and they run it down to 41.5 and go up 4. The game is over at this point. It is 110% Virginia's to lose when it should have just been a new 2 point lead with Tech being able to run whatever kind of play they wanted to. The refs handed UVA the game with that call. Not saying it was the reason Virginia won the game. Obviously there's a whole 40 minutes & OT of basketball that had been played. I'm saying in that moment, with the game being how it was, the game was handed to Virginia with that call.

Then there's the call earlier in the game where they called a foul on Texas Tech because none of them had a good angle and felt like they had to call something when Guy fell. How come they can't go back to the monitor and realize he triped over his own player? Don't understand how that's not reviewable if it isn't. Tbh it really feels like someone *cough* *ESPN/NCAA* *Cough* influencrd the refs to make these decisions so they they could have a narrative. They wanted to say for months "well golly is this one of the greatest comeback stories ever or what?? Harharhar." Clearly the refz deliberatley missed and changed calls to go UVA's favor. Congrats to the players tho, they didn't fix anything. They just played their hearts out, and if you're a player, you're not going to complain about calls going your way, nor should you ever be expected to, but holy shite. If I was a wealthy Tech fan I'd have paid someone ALREADY to find out the names of all those officials and hired a lawyer to look into all this and skull frick these refs cause it's damn obvious they're biased. This is coming from a neutral Arkansas fan who could care less who won, but was disapointed the game ended like that. I wanted to have an entertaining finish and insread it was extremly anti climactic because of the officials. Let the kids play, keep your whistles out of your mouth unless it's egregious, and make sure you have 110% no one can doubt this proof beforr you change a call. Rant over.

TL:DR the ball never changed direction twice, and the call gave UVA the game. They also called a foul on Tech where the UVA player tripped over his own teammate.

it didnt matter, texas missed what looked like 25 of the first 30 shots they took in that game and they had little to no defense all game leaving guys open, thats the reason they lost.

I refuse to believe you've actually analyzed every call since the 40's. That's a lot of calls.

Mooney fricked over Tech firing up the 32 footer with like 6 on the shot clock. It all went down hill from there

Yeah the NCAA wanted UVA to win so they let Texas Tech be up by 3 with 10 seconds left, and based their entire game fixing strategy on Beard not fouling and the entire Tech D brain farting to go help on a layup, leaving Hunter wide open for a corner three, which they then were counting him making.

Phenomenal match fixing by the NCAA there

It's a hyperbole. They were both horrendous calls and are certainly 2 of the worst of all time. Where exactly idk, but I challenge you to find 3 others that are arguably worse. I'm sure they exist but no one is going to dig for that.

It wasn't phenomenal but you can't argue with the results.

I'm embarrassed for people who bitch about the refs this much when Texas Tech made basically no plays from the last 25 seconds of regulation through OT.

I'm embarrassed for people who are willfully ignorant or naive enough to not realize that corruption exists, and is a growing issue with officials.

Yeah, I’m sure there’s a huge conspiracy to help UVA, a true blue blood.

Officials didn’t leave a lottery pick wide open on the wing twice in crunch time.

Officials did call a foul on Tech that Virginia committed against Virginia

The foul when the Virginia player fell was a bad call but calls like that aren’t uncommon

They could have called a reach before the turnover but again, that a call that is constantly not called and the officials were allowing the D to be physical

Bad calls, sure. But nothing was a blatant missed or bad call

The turnover replay was the right call

TT only has TT to blame for losing.

These probably weren’t top 5 bad calls in this tourney

Refs miss calls all the time. It isn’t a conspiracy. They’re human. They frick up sometimes.

None of the calls in question kept TT from winning. This is all an attempt to discount Virginia winning for reasons that I’m not sure I understand.

No this is an attempt to show how the officials are either A. Inept or B. Corrupt.

Your OP says you have no dog in the fight, but every other post says otherwise.

I'm honestly not sure about the trip call, but I think most people agree the ball hit the TTU player's hand on the out of bounds call. On the trip call, I didn't see a replay and it was hard to tell live.

Otherwise, I don't know why you're so mad over a call that most people don't see your way. That should at least tell you it's close enough not to be mad. It's not a black and white one like Saints/Rams.

It's not 100% conclusive and the standard is "irrefutable evidence" the fact that a debate can be had means you stick with the call on the floor and the refs didn't. Complete load of horse shite the call itself and trying to defend it.

UVA was up 2 with 1:30 left and finished on a 10-4 run. They won fair and square. There’s no evidence that suggests they would have lost without those two calls.
