Nebraska coach Tim Miles was given two technicals and thus ejected by Tim Clougherty.

I've seen way too many reviews for clock stoppages. What boggles my mind is that the officials use the Precision Timing System during the regular season, but when it comes to tournament time, it's not approved by the NCAA. Next season they need to wear them

Final Four Officials *Bold indicates that Official worked the Championship Game
Verne Harris- 6 Final 4's (04,05,07,08,11,12) Doug Shows- 3 Final 4's (05,11,12) Mike Stuart- 3 Final 4's (09,10,12) John Higgins- 3 Final 4's (10,11,13) Michael Stephens- 1 Final 4 (11) Joe DeRosa- 1 Final 4 (12) Pat Adams- 1 Final 4 (12) Terry Wymer- 1 Final 4 (13) Doug Sirmons- 1 Final 4 (13) Mike Roberts- First Final 4
Congrats to Mike Roberts for his first Final 4 Assignment. Very good year for him as he also got his first Elite 8. He will probably serve as the alternate since the alternate is usually an Official who has never been on the floor for the Final 4 and he is the least experienced of the 10 Officials listed.

Uconn vs Florida- Doug Shows, Terry Wymer, Michael Stephens Kentucky vs Wisconsin- John Higgns, Pat Adams, Doug Sirmons Championship- Verne Harris, Mike Stuart, Joe DeRosa
