I don't like the slow pace of this Auburn / UVA game. Good to see it staying close but they need to pick up the pace.

I’ll take it!

Man! Virginia from the lowest of lows last season to now possibly the highest of the highs!

Proud Virginian here and rooting for them! Been visiting the campus since the Barber brothers ran wild on the football field haha

I was watching he game while working out at the gym.
Left the gym to go home with about 5 minutes left and Virginia winning by 10, but the one guy holding them together on offense getting pulled with his 4th foul.
Get home, turn on the tgame and Auburn is winning with under a minute left.

Crazy ending.

As they say “Scoreboard”. However that’s a ****** way to end a game let alone a Final Four game. The refs call the questionable foul on the 3 point shot but miss the double dribble call before it.

That call was like calling pass interference on a last play Hail Mary pass.

That player had just hit an almost identical 3 pointer the last time down court, so there was nothing hail mary about it

I think if he'd have released the shot before the contact, maybe they let it go. It was a similar call made earlier in the tourney, but I think the player missed his free throws.

Tough game to watch

Man these games are heavy on defense. MSU is really struggling to score.

Still rooting for TTU and UVA in the final.

I’m not saying the shot was a Hail Mary. I’m saying calling a foul on that shot is like calling pass interference on a last second Hail Mary pass in football... it shouldn’t happen.

It happens more often in b-ball. They even said New Mexico State was in the same situation in the first round to beat Auburn and the kid missed 2 out of 3.

I was ok with or without the foul call. Jerome stupid foul almost cost them the game. He was dominating until that 4th foul.

He also clearly got fouled before the balled went off his foot so I’m not as concerned about the double dribble.

One of the few times I wish I was back in Lubbock right now.

Congrats Texas Tech. Can't wait for UVA and TTU to meet for the first time in history. Someone is getting their first bball championship!

Yeah. That was the game I was thinking of
Almost the exact same shot and foul

 

[DFWJC]

Texas Tech fans are out of their minds excited.
Just roaring

When Owens came backout of locker they just went nuts.
Like Rocky Balboa
Fun stuff to watch

Mich State is tough too though. Cant count them out

 

[Robbieac]

Awesome! Wreck ‘Em Tech!

Very proud and happy for Lubbock tonight!

 

[DFWJC]

Tech athletics on a roll

Mahomes tearing up the NFL
Baseball recently made it to its first World Series in 2014...and has already returned twice
Basketball made it to its first Final Foul and advanced

They have to be excited

 

[yimyammer]

They have to be excited

& stunned.......I never dreamed they'd ever have this kind of success

Agreed.
