As March Madness continued earlier this evening for the Elite 8 round of the NCAA tournament, NBA players once again enjoyed in the festivities. In what was a highly contested game between Arizona and Wisconsin, the final moments saw it come down to a questionable call that left many NBA athletes questioning the validity of it.
As the seventh game to be decided in overtime for this tournament, this game ties the all time historic record for most overtime games in the NCAA tournament. Much like the other games that have taken place so far, this one left viewers anxiously awaiting the winner as the game carried on.

While some may have questioned the call, others such as Kendrick Perkins completely agreed with it.
Good call. That was a offensive foul. The ref had to call that

You have to call the game in the OT just like you have to call the game in the 1st. Period.

Wisconsin would go on to win the game against Arizona, 64-63.
