Fan since the 90's and I've really never seen anything so obvious.  The bizarre aspect is that UConn was actually winning despite it at one point, so the officials went into overdrive.  Ultimately, it's not just the points at the line, it's that [U]it rips away our aggressiveness on defense and on the boards[/U].  It steals our identity as a team.  UConn dominated the boards in the first half, but as the touch fouls piled up, you saw the energy drain away.  Those 50-50 balls PC got, they almost all occurred after PC hit the double bonus 6 minutes into the second half.  Newton was attacking early, but getting fouled with no calls eventually makes that a losing strategy and he stopped.

Did UConn play well?  No.  Our shooters missed loads of open shots.  We stunk at the line.  The Karaban on Hopkins matchup worked for a little while, but we needed to switch players on him.  Jackson became reckless in his frustration, for the second game in a row.  Still, call the game fairly and UConn wins by 2-3 points.  Call it fairly when UConn plays well and you beat this team by 12-16.
