That was the crappiest 20 seconds EVER!

If grabbing Harper wasnâ€™t a flagrant, then that last shot was no foul!

Helluva team. Helluva game.

Hereâ€™s to what could have been!

It was no foul.

I know the rule is donâ€™t blame the refs but my god. They let them push off, hammer us inside and take five or six steps in the paint all night long.

Iâ€™m pretty down.

Refs missed a double dribble before all that happened even the announcers and their officiating guru said the refs missed the call.
Virginia doesnâ€™t deserve to go to the big game.
By the way......Fuck georgia

Never heard a broadcast crew that couldn't even muster fake happiness in an outcome.

You could use the film on the double dribble as a tutorial for Junior High refs. Make the most obvious call in history and the game is over. We earned the win and got FUCKED!!!!

It's gonna leave a scar but I would take another if we could get that far again.
Fucking hard having to beat everybody but Golden State to get there.

Have never seen a broadcast team roll out proof of a missed call (double dribble) when it could have just ignored it as if it never happened.

8 on 5 is a tough row to hoe. Had to protect that 1 seed I guess.

It's going to take a while for me to get over this one...and I wasn't on the court.

Fuck her. (I probably would but Iâ€™d never vote for her). And fuck Virginia.

Im flu tuTIng between pissed and despondent.

I shut the Twitter machine down shortly after that. (Well, after I saw a bunch of wrestlers beat the hell out of the idiot that tried to tackle Bret The Hitman Hart at the WWE HoF ceremonies.) Didn't need the braying chorus of Bammers in the timeline. Signed into Facebook to see pictures of my wife's half marathon from yesterday. Was greeted by my braying and finger-wagging Bammers. Looked at photos and deactivated account again.

Why does that fan base get off on misery everywhere else? I don't care for Clemson nor Dabo and didn't give two cares who won that game, but I get why so many people tuned in to see that beating on live television.

Bammers: a-holes when they win and a-holes when they lose. Just like modern Democrats. fudge whoever that triggers.

That was a bullshit ending to an historic run. I hate it for the kids that it had to end on the incompetence of the refs and not the relative merits of the team.

That said, one more made bucket at any point in the game and we are still playing.

All true.
We had the best overall team in the field and should be in the championship game Monday night.

I just can't get over the fact that they showed us that missed call after the fact when the foul on the three point attempt was all the focus during the heat of the battle.

I'm fucking still pissed and drained. Iron Bowls don't take that much out of me (damn I'm old). My girlfriend, yes I have an Auburn girlfriend, NEVER watches BB and now she never wants to watch another Auburn BB game. She is officially drained too.

SHIT!

Got in the truck this morning just in time to listen to two ESPN yahoos gloating and ridiculing the "drunk Auburn fans" who woke up this morning and thought they'd won the game. And then a lengthy explanation of why it was a foul. And maybe it was. But they hadn't called anything close to that all game. They let those assclowns hammer away on us under the basket and knock three point shooters to the ground. You can't call that on the last play. You just can't.

Saniflush · « **Reply #499 on:** April 08, 2019, 06:35:49 AM »

Ticky tack call at best. They had been letting everybody play physical all night which I'm fine with but keep it consistent.

What a great run for a team that believed in itself and I am reminded of Pat Dye's talk in the locker room after the Tennessee game

Let me tell you how much class we have in a coach. Which one of us would have been able to stomach being around ANYONE after that game? Coach Pearl was. My sister was able to go to the game and after the heartbreak of ours stayed for the TT vs MSU game (GUNS UP!) When she got back to the team hotel who do you think was hanging around in the lobby thanking all of our family that made the trip? That's right, coach Pearl. He is Auburn family and can we really ask for anything else?
