Not to over play this point - but officials and how they decide to call games is clearly impacting the results of the game. The end of the ND game was incredible and Gonza and Syracuse refs decide to allow tons of contact which is clearly going to help the bigger team. I think halfway through the 2nd half Gonza had 1 free throw attempt and only 5 FT for the entire game to Syracuses 16 FT attempts.
How the hell hard would moderately consistent officiating be to achieve.
