To me, the mugging was mutual and, if anything, the refs did OSU some favors (a phantom 5th foul on McGwire, for instance, or the unnecessary technical on Maley after a scrum around the  basket).  The bottom line is that Oregon won with one starter out (Bando), another missing in action (Hebard, who was absolutely terrible offensively), and a lineup that for a good portion of the game included two freshmen (Sabally and Maley), two sophomores (Ionescu and Hebard) and one junior (Cazorla).  Swapping McGwire for Maley changes the class numbers a bit, but there were still 4 underclassmen on the floor for almost the entire game, and not having Bando, who is a senior, hurts (scoring, certainly, but also opening up the floor for others, reducing minutes for Ionescu and Cazorla, etc.).  Sabally still has a lot to learn, but she seems to be getting over a freshman slump; her skill set is impressive and, once she gets more decisive, she will be a tough matchup for many teams.
