After watching the full replay:

- For all the flack that AAC refs deservedly get, I thought this crew was very solid. Were there a few bad calls? Sure but none I would consider egregiously bad and I thought they were very consistent in their calls, especially with respect to freedom of movement.

-That leads me to the FT differential. Obviously a chunk of that is due to CVs 8 attempts at the end of the game, but it’s amazing how much Houston settles for mid to long range jumpers. Grimes particularly just refused to play through contact at the basket, even when he had a big size advantage (at one point he had Al one on one with no one else around and just pulled it out). Their size and length would lead you to assume they’re a team that takes it to the hoop and gets out in transition but that is just not the case at all.

- Watching the replay, UConn was a far more disciplined defensive team. They played tight defense without fouling and that just wasn’t the case for Houston. Hurley has done a great job of making sure guys go straight up and don’t overcommit on defense.
