NCAA officials revived the season's biggest controversy by using an official at the women's Final Four in Tampa, Fla., who was involved in the disputed end to a game in February between Rutgers and Tennessee.

The Lady Vols escaped with a 59-58 win when the clock momentarily stopped with 0.2 seconds left, and a foul allowed Tennessee's Nicky Anosike to hit the winning free throws. Replays showed it took an extra 1.3 seconds for the clock to expire, allowing the foul to be called before the final buzzer. But officials apparently never reviewed the play. Tina Napier was on that crew and also officiated the national semifinal with Stanford beating Connecticut.

"The officials that were involved in that basketball game continued to call both Big East and SEC games throughout the regular season and throughout their conference championship season," said Judy Southard, chair of the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Committee.

Neither Southard nor Sue Donohoe, NCAA's vice president for Division I women's basketball, could explain why a replay wasn't used to correct the error.

The previous time the men's Final Four was in San Antonio, Georgia Tech played in the final. This time, three Georgia Tech engineering professors are predicting the winner based on a computer ranking system they developed. The ramblin' result: Congrats, Kansas. Georgia Tech's system goes by the acronym LRMC, which stands for Logistic Regression Markov Chain. According to a news release, it "uses basic scoreboard data: teams played, home-court advantage and margin of victory." What makes the system worth mentioning? It predicted the Final Four.
