agreed - and there were still a ton they didnt call (on both sides of the ball).
The refs started out the gate letting everything go, and the refs didnt ever really adjust enough to get a handle on it - and it was streetball from there on out.
The dok non-foul that huggins got ejected on - he did jump straight up (which is allowed even if contact occurs).
And if you want to slice/dice - there were a couple on Svi where he was thrown down by the offensive player trying to get position - and the call went against him.
If you watch that game and your focus was off the ball - you would have seen about 30 more fouls that were fouls, but not called (and Bilas pointed that out multiple times).
Screw WVU and that style of play. the only way they win is when that style of play is allowed (which is hack, hold, push, etc. etc.).
I think that's why they fade in games - as their too tired down the stretch.
That - and thuggy started eating clock WAY too soon and it cost him opportunities to let his offense continue to flow and score points.
