It was a controversial 1.5 seconds, but the best team won. Virginia had control of the game throughout, slowed the game down and didn’t allow Auburn to play their game. Congrats to Auburn on tying for 3rd.

Auburn led at half and led with less than a minute.

Your statement isn’t factually correct.

As bad as Auburn shot, it’s amazing they had a chance.

If they would hace ahot their avg percentages, AU would have won by double digits.

Not even close to being correct.

No. That is an opinion, not clearly supported by the facts. Both teams had their areas where they controlled game

Last time I checked there’s not a final four banner and there never will be one hanging at Coleman coliseum.

Didn't think Auburn played well and yet they gutted it to the end without one of their 2 best players against a great team.

The ending is devastating only because of how close they clearly were to literally winning the whole thing.

UVA doesn’t let teams shoot their averages. If this game is played 10 times it’s likely a one possession game in 8. It’s much easier to slow pace than speed it up. You just have to accept it and adjust accordingly.

That’s the thing, Virginia defense has percentages, too, and they prevailed.

Virginia 3 pt% defense is 28%. Auburn shot 29%.

They played their game, Auburn did not

Anyone can slow a game down. Just dribble until end of shot clock
