We have our first controversial call of this year’s NCAA tournament.
With 19.8 seconds left in the game, Seton Hall’s Desi Rodriguez was called for a flagrant foul while trying to commit an intentional foul.
This call pretty much gave Arkansas the game and Twitter was fucking livid.
The flagrant 1 foul call against Seton Hall was horrible 👎🏼

According the refs, Rodriguez wasn’t making a play on the ball thus making it a flagrant 1.
