The fan-favorite ESPN analyst sounded off on the controversial finish to the Auburn-Virginia Final Four game.

CLOSE SportsPulse: A controversial foul call played a pivotal role in Virginia beating Auburn in the Final Four and both teams voiced their opinions on it after the game. USA TODAY

“Why not let refs use monitor in the last minute to determine a rules situation?’’ Vitale tweeted. “A game like the Virginia / Auburn should not end on such an OBVIOUS MISSED CALL/ clearly missing a call like a Double dribble to effect the outcome is ABSURD.’’VIRGINIA: Kyle Guy's inner strength helps him sink free throws

I certainly credit Guy for making 3 FT, but he never should have been on line. Obvious double-dribble was missed. What a gut-wrenching way to lose for Auburn.
