March 20, 201610 yr Officials flat out stole one from SFA in my opinion. They made calls against SFA in the last minute and then swallowed their whistles when ND should have been called for fouls on the last play. They call an over the back rebound foul on SFA on a long rebound and then let Auguste climb up a guy's back on the last play, no call. The winning tip in happened because Jackson pushed an SFA rebounder out of the way and opened up the tip for ND.

SFA got away with two fouls against ND, and the Irish players were not even close to fouling the SFA players underneath. If anything, ND should have been at the line for two freebies.
March 20, 201610 yr I thought the guy that put up the second shot under the basket for ND got fouled. And I've never been an Irish fan.

That would have been much better if they would have called that foul, August looked really bad shooting FT's. August may have fouled before he was fouled though too. There were 2 very tough calls that went against SFA late, the one was when they got the offensive rebound and the other was when the defender went straight up(principle of verticality) and was still called for the foul and 2 FT's that pulled the Irish within one.
March 20, 201610 yr Was really hoping that SF Austin would get through. Walkup for them is the exact reason I love this weekend. Was hoping to watch him at least one more time next week.
March 21, 201610 yr Author I can see the comments on the Auguste play at the end. However, Auguste comes flying in over the guy's back to get the rebound and just 30 seconds before a rebound went to the foul line, an SFA player goes straight up and tips it but gets called for over the back on Auguste who was jumping out to the ball from under the basket. Inconsistent or favoritism.
March 21, 201610 yr Auguste didn't foul on the last play. Bleacher Report on Twitter: "Notre Dame's Rex Pflueger tips in the game-winner. Wow. https://t.co/JiZzv9oAlC" I thought the foul on SFA was weak.
March 21, 201610 yr I also thought ND got the benefit of the last two calls were unfair. the offensive rebound attempt that got called over the back was horrible.
