I am also glad that Tennessee beat LSU for the Championship.

Did one of the officials signal a two or did the official not put his/her arms up signaling the "three"? I don't know if all the members of an NCAA crew have to mirror a three since they should be watching their assigned areas. It would have been difficult for them all to have seen it. [/B]
The LSU player did, in fact, drive the length of the floor and missed a shot attempt. So a good defensive play by Alabama was negated.

I am not totally sure about this, and unfortunately I didn't TIVO the game, but: I believe the trail official did put his arms up to signal a three (and that's what the scorer saw). I didn't see it, but it sounds like the center official (who was positioned in front of the LSU bench) signalled a two.
