In the closing minute of the UCONN/NC State game there were 2, count 'em 2 critical no calls:

1. Illegal screen by NC State player which allowed the dribbler to get free & put in a 3 pointer (oops, since I'm a fan maybe I should say hit the trey). This was a no brainer, team mate stepped into the defender from behind at the top of the key.

2. Huge push off by NC State player to drive & score 2 points on an easy 10 footer. I mean, a huge push off, the kind of thing you would see called in 6th grade rec league games - 1 on 1 deep in the T's area the guy put a forearm into the defender's chest to start his drive. He might as well have just put the ball on the floor & cold-cocked the defender. Sigh....

OK, I'm done.

Told ya! Every year at this time we get infested with these freaking fanboys.
