Has anyone else noticed an alarming amount of official reviews this tournament? I feel like this season I noticed it a bit more than in years past, but it seems like there are 2-3 every half in the NCAA Tournament games. They just absolutely kill the flow/momentum of the game and half the time they still end up making the wrong call!
The Seton Hall Flagrant 1 was unacceptable to call there and then even last night in the Arkansas game, the UNC player clearly tipped the 3 point attempt and the ball should have been rewarded back to Arkansas (with 2 on the shot clock) the refs spend 5 minutes looking at the thing and still make the wrong call.
I feel like the officials are so scared to make the wrong call, that they end up pausing the game/stopping momentum and altering the outcome worse than 1 call would do.
Under 2 minutes in the 2nd half - sure check for possession - but it feels like you can't go a TV timeout without a conference.
Absolutely my least favorite thing in professional and college sports. Have a centralized review booth manned by referees overseeing all games, radio in the play in question and if it can't be determined in 30 seconds, it clearly isn't over turnable.
