Just to chime in, I was about 25 feet from the 4th call on Turiaf. It was a foul. Despite his reaction after he had a chance to think about it, he knew it too. I could not see the stuff that happened on the other end that well, but I agree that the Stepp one was close.
The building was very loud after some of the charges on Gonzaga. I watched the refs very closely when it was getting rough -- those guys were, to borrow a line from one of the sportscenter guys, as cool as the other side of the pillow in a pretty tough environment. It was impressive.
Incidentally, Nevada was much the better team that game and the final margin was indicative of their superiority, at least on that day.
