2692778, It's just the culmination of an entire season of awful replay.

It obviously didn't ruin the game entirely, as it was still a tremendously exciting game.
But of course, after a season of awful officiating and even worse reviews, at an integral moment of an exciting overtime championship game, we get a combination of:
1. missed foul that isn't reviewable
2. needlessly lengthy review
3. review requesting by the leading team in a manner that feels more instigated to get a free timeout than anything else
4. call is reversed because when you frame by frame someone knocking a ball away from a guy, it may linger for a split millisecond on the tip of the finger of the guy who had the ball
5. ball taken away from the team on a fast break looking to tie... and given to the leading team who immediately turns it into a two-possession game
Just an incredible combination of basically every facet of review that every NCAA fan has bitched about all season long.
Virginia whacked the ball. Refs missed the Virginia foul. Just give the ball to Texas Tech. Play on. If you can't determine the call after 20 seconds of monitor review, move along.
