UConn vs. ND in semifinal means potential for refs to impact the game with less scrutiny. Anyone that doesn't think this game was impacted by how it was called is clueless. We don't play bad against ND because they play magical defense. We play bad because ND is allowed to hack and it prevents our superior players from utilizing their skill and athletic advantages. And then they get rattled. You can say that is their fault but pretty much anyone would get rattled when being hacked constantly. They ALWAYS become afraid to drive when the game is called like this.

Game going into OT. What can you say. ND has played tougher. Huskies kind of choked. Couldn't buy a perimeter basket most of the night. Hopefully they can pull it out.

ND didn't play tougher. They hacked and it wasn't called. HATE the refs.

I don’t disagree but down the stretch they got killed on the boards.

Jesus. They play timid BECAUSE OF HOW THE GAME IS CALLED!!! ND is the darling.

They were timid from the start.

But you’re right. You called it from the beginning that this would happen.

The word "choke" is harsh, but I'm pretty sure it's deserved. Reminds me of the game UConn lost in the semis to Notre Dame in Denver years ago. We all stood around asking ourselves why UConn was losing, and they lost.

They should’ve won this game by no less than 15.

Jesus.

And they turned it over with regularity. Let nd pound them on the boards late.

Down the stretch no one wanted the ball.

And I don't think the refs were an issue on more than maybe two or three plays. On at least a couple, the UConn player fouled the ND player and it was not called, either. Did IK love the refs' work? Heck no. Did they cost UConn the game? Heck, no.

That’s just an epic choke. Plain and simple.

They did it again.
Please. Anyone would "choke" under these conditions. Wake up folks. There is a reason why we lose to them in the semis. There is a reason why we lose to them in OT. It isn't an amazing coincidence.
