Re the refs: in a 20 second span late in regulation, a ball clearly goes off Xavier right in front of the incompetent or dirty ref.  He gives it to Xavier.  Announcers point out, too bad,so sad for UCONN, it can't be reviewed because it's just over 2:00.  Just under 2:00, the ball goes out of bounds off an Xavier player.  The ref on the court gives it to UCONN.  But, Xavier asks for a review.  The announcers look at it a few times, along with the rest of the world and say,  no way to overturn it.  Surprisingly (actually unsurprisingly) the incompetent or dirty refs reverse the call and give it to Xavier.  We go to OT.

Don't even get me started on the ridiculous foul calling the cleaning blocked 3 pointer.  Yhe announcers watch it and sheepishly say, I guess there may have been body contact, even though no one but the incompetent or dirty ref claims he did.  I guess he didn't fully comprehend that his call wouldn't impact the outcome at that point, but he simply couldn't help himself.  I guess it doesn't matter to them the the announcers were actually laughing at the no call on the Xavier traveling.  So, why even pretend.

Bottom line, UCONN will have to play and win 5 on 8 games all year long. Players, coaches and fans will need to accept it.
