Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 5175232, member: 9355"] I was at that game in Jan 2023 in PC. Let me state this first; UConn got outplayed and I think PC earned the victory because when UConn had chances to the make the play (hitting open shots, making the correct pass to get the open shot, etc.) the did not. However, the officiating was so bad. PC was clutching and grabbing the UConn players, while UConn was getting called for ticky tack fouls-it was pathetic. That day was unusually warm at around 50 degrees and the AMP had a hockey game the night before so the floor was slick. Whenever a PC player slipped on their own, but made slight contact with a UConn defender, UConn got called for the foul. There was one sequence I remember when Bryce Hopkins, who played very well that day, got called for an offensive foul (he could have gotten called for 1-2 more that day they way he was crashing into defenders), the AMP and Ed Cooley went nuts. Tony Chiazza made the call. The very next trip down the court when UConn had the ball Karaban barely moved on his screen, if he did at all, and Chiazza called a moving screen. At that point it was obvious that Chiazza was looking for the slightest thing he could call an infraction on UConn for and that was what he did. [/QUOTE]
