Those are rarely called. We see them all the time.
There was another more egregious travel missed in the first half. the KU big man caught the ball deep under the basket and landed on one foot followed by the other. He then faked the defender in the and proceeded to take two steps (without dribbling) to get under the UK defender who was called for a foul when he landed on the KU center. I cringed on that one. It is one thing to ignore small travels but it is quite another thing to call a foul on the other team that probably wouldn't have happened without the obvious travel.
While there were a few minor misses like that one in this game, it was generally well officiated.
