TL;DR

Former NBA star Charles Barkley criticized Texas coach Sean Miller for benching their top rebounder, Matas Vokietaitis, on the final possession, allowing Purdue to grab an offensive board and win with a tip-in at 0.7 seconds. Miller defended the decision, saying fouls and matchup concerns factored in, while Barkley called it a costly mistake; Texas had tied at 77 with 11 seconds left but couldn't force overtime in the Sweet 16 loss.
