| I tell you what. I have never seen so much game-deciding officiating in college hoops as I have in this year's tournament.
WVU vs. Xavier last night. Alexander (WVU) hits a shot with 14 seconds left to tie, and gets a foul call, from a touch that wouldn't have harmed a butterfly wing. He ended up missing the free throw, and Xavier won in OT, but the call could have ended the game right there. Like you said, lots of "no-calls", and inconsistency.
The one thing I wish the refs would do is call the game consistently, from start to finish. Don't call everything early, then let them beat the crap out of each other in the last five minutes. Or let them bang it around earlier, and call T's for sneezing on the guy late in the game.
