My thoughts: This game was absurd at times. From the opening tip it seemed like the officials were hesitant to give Harrell his first foul for anything; I counted 3 or 4 times in the first ten minutes where I thought he fouled but went uncalled. The hand checking and amount of physicality allowed were also absurd -- I thought basketball was supposed to be a finesse game too, not players bludgeoning each other in the paint.

I could tell Louisville #3 was a flopper from the first half where he threw his head back whenever he was closely guarded and fell down on almost every rebound. It didn't surprise me when the camera caught him flopping red-handed like a biatch. I was very disappointed he didn't pick up two quick fouls after that.

Karl Hess refusing to switch at 12:28 second half was funny, as were all of Bilas' comments. I was hoping he would shut up when he mis-predicted the elbow review going to a flagrant 1, but I guess that would be asking too much.
