Congrats on your first college game...I was in your shoes earlier in the season. I know the feeling of excitement and anxiety that you'll probably feel. Relax. Someone saw that you have the ability to work the level you're working at.
I just tried to be cognizant of the rules and mechanics difference. Pregame helped me on this. When it came to being on the court...it was referee primary....and get the obvious.
Administrative things like media timeouts...know how to handle...but if you don't know...let your partners handle. Main point is, it's still basketball...go out and referee. You'll get a couple of games under your belt, and you'll feel more at home.
