Yes it was.

That missed illegal dribble call was HUGE.

I agree and huge... giving Auburn back the ball With 1.5 could have changed the outcome of the game. Of course not fouling would have changed the outcome of the game

Event the analyst now discussing the dribble.

Right call on the last foul...

I thought so too on the first, and also agree on the second.

Great example of why people need to stop talking about “letting the players decide the game.”

So hard to watch this. These guys are cream of the crop. You have to make that call and be aware of the situation. Another big missed call in a huge game.

Why aren’t you out there?

Hardly any fanboys knew that was an illegal dribble until Steratore came on air.

Not a fumble/bobble?

Auburn fans throw stuff at the refs as they leave the floor.

IMO, the Center (Sirmons) should've called the front jersey grab by Auburn #2 (take foul) right before the double-dribble.

Including Charles Barkley, who said he wasn’t aware of that ruling.
He was absolute class in not complaining about officiating decisions, but rather praised both Auburn and Virginia for the plays that they made and the great game.

This. My God, this. A grab of the jersey too.

the double dribble was obvious to anyone with a reasonable understanding of the rules. what was surprising was that Sirmons was there because he blows his whistle for every little thing. the only play I wondered about towards the end was whether Auburn traveled after the catch, before the foul, with about 20 seconds left.

I thought they did a great job other than the double dribble
