Normally I wouldn't say anything here, because I didn't watch the game.  But I just have to say - you had PAC 12 refs, and really, some of the better ones.  Gonzalez has reffed the Final Four, Pantoja (a UofA grad for whatever its worth) has reffed in the D League (or whatever the NBA calls it) and In'fini Robinson actually high fived my wife when she ran in front of us when she was warming up for a game last year, so I kind of like her.

That said, guys - I suspect you saw PAC 12 referees doing what they do.  They very rarely call fouls away from the ball (or in scrums).  Or on shots under the  basket.  The big no-nos are touch fouls "impeding" progress, charges / blocks under the basket, and touching the arm of a player shooting.  Anything else, not so much.

Every conference has their "style" and in large part it reflects the style of play.  I don't particularly care for the way they ref games (I'm always surprised there are not more injuries), but it is their style and PAC12 teams are, IMHO, well adjusted to it.
