I watched that game last night and I know just the play you're talking about. Yeah, I was surprised that the foul wasn't ruled intentional, too. But when we have refs who are that good overall, I just go ahead and give them the benefit of the doubt. (And in this case...since I'm a Big 12 fan and was rooting for Tech anyway...I'm REALLY not going to complain!)
Could it be that this crew was just getting used to all of the the roughness? Big 12 teams like to run-and-gun, and they like to beat each other up. I mean, how many times can you blow that whistle without totally stopping the game entirely (and without turning blue)? I have always wondered how the refs decide which foul to call when the whole thing starts looking like a hockey game and you have your choice of A), B), C) or all of the above.
Gee, if a prejudiced Big 12 fan like me would call it intentional, just think how the Duke fans reacted! Ican't wait to read everyone else's input.
