SOMETHING ROTTEN IN MINNEAPOLIS?

 AUBURN  SHOULD HAVE WON THE  GAME AND IN THE LAST  SECONDS THEIR  VICTORY WAS STOLEN.

Last night  I was shocked and saddened  when in the last minutes of play a foul was called on Auburn and Virginia was given three free throws which they completed to  win the game by one point!

They kept showing the foul play and I could not see it. The commentators could not see it, and surely Charles Barkley who was standing on the sidelines waiting to rush to cheer his team as they won their first Final Four  Game did not see it.  He jumped back when he heard the call as if he had been shot. 

Was that call a  measure of all the millions of dollars  that was being wagered on that game and lost if Virginia lost?  I hate to think so--but I fear so.

What is going on?  IS MARCH MADNESS now just a showcase on the national stage for the NBA draft? Now that Duke is a ONE AND DONE school, who will hold out against the onslaught of money and shoe contracts and  instant fame?

IF GOLD RUSTS, WHAT WILL SILVER DO?

I felt so bad that I could not stay  and watch the second game  with Texas Tech and Michigan State. 

Better rules and more oversight must be put in place for foul calls in the last seconds of play in a close game. 
IT LOOKED LIKE THE SLAUGHTER
 OF THE INNOCENTS OUT THERE.
