They did on the double dribble that happened before the Samir Doughty foul (which, unfortunately for Samir, was a good call, I just wish they’d always call it).

Interesting to watch a game where a team had “fouls to give” at the end.
Definitely, most definitely, not a VCU game.

It was a foul, but what a tissue-soft call. Guy had a chance to win it at the end and the shot wasn't impeded. Let that be good enough.
No chance at all they call that if it was Monday's game.

When he was here at VCU, and even now, I’ve always been a huge fan of Samir. Natural scorer and great young man.
Now, I’d like you try to go shoot a three pointer and have somebody make contact with your lower body and slide their feet under you, giving you no landing area. It absolutely impedes the shot, and any suggestion otherwise is ludicrous. The contact with the body was light, but the real danger is Samir’s feet. In full speed it doesn’t look that bad, but if you look at the slow motion up close and see where Samir’s feet land (literally under Guy), it’s a bad and dangerous foul. This is the exact same thing that happened to Kawhi Leonard that had literally everyone except GS fans cursing Zaza P.

Haha i don't know exactly but something. I needed Michigan State to win the whole thing to win my work pool so now my bracket is done.

Oh, I get why it's a foul and agree it should be. That particular foul isn't called well in my opinion - I give Guy a lot of credit for not doing a leg kick to initiate contact and try to bait a call - and is ripe for exploitation if there's an official that wants to insert himself into a game either with a call or no call, particularly when there's little time left and the score is tight. I'm also a firm believer in "playoff fouls" and don't think that one qualified. Don't think CBS was too upset about the possibility of UVA/Michigan State, but that's a different conversation altogether.

I bet they also don't call it if the roles were reversed. (even though It was a legit foul.. not debating that). Same reason the double dribble wasn't called. There was no defender close by, it was an obvious double dribble... but nope not called.
It's a better story to have UVA in the Nat'l Title game the year after being the first to lose to a 16 seed in the tournament. The ultimate comeback story.
Auburn in the Nat'l title.... what story line is there besides "Seeking 1st Nat'l Title in school history"? Not Many.
I almost guarantee you UVA wins Monday.

Texas Tech would be well advised to leave no room for doubt
