Sometimes it’s not all about the final score

Robbery... 10TH GEN EX ELEGANCE Another This time it was the NCAA - the officiating in the final game of the basketball tournament was inexcusable! Millions of viewers watched the replay of the out-of-bounds play late in the game. They clearly saw the spin on the ball change directions, indicating it was NOT the correct call. Upon review, the officials could not, or would not, overturn the call. As usual, the NCAA had a lot of excuses. It’s time this multi-million-$$ organization shapes up or shuts down.
