The foul call that was made wasn’t the only controversial play in the final seconds of Virginia’s improbable 63-62 win over Auburn in Saturday’s Final Four in Minneapolis.

Though many were talking about Samir Doughty’s foul on Kyle Guy while he was shooting a 3-pointer with 0.6 seconds left, there was a play right before it that Auburn fans would love to have back.

With Auburn up 62-60 and 5.4 seconds left, Virginia’s Ty Jerome dribbled up the court and lost his dribble off his foot, but it wasn’t touched by a defender. Jerome then picked the ball up and dribbled again.

That’s a double dribble, but it wasn’t called.

“As we start to watch Ty Jerome dribbling the basketball, it bounces off his back foot,” CBS rules analyst Gene Steratore said. “It doesn’t go far either. There’s no defense that touches it. He regains possession with both hands and starts a new dribble sequence. By rule, this is a double dribble.”
