I thought the game was called very well. Yes, there were a LOT of fouls and a lot of guys in foul trouble. But I honestly don't remember seeing anything that I said "Ooo, that was ticky-tack". It was called tight (as I think it needed to be) and it was consistent for 40 minutes. They called the same game at the beginning, middle and end of the game. Probably very hard to do in that game.
I wondered to myself during the game if the reason this game was called so tightly had anything to do with the extremely physical style of the game in which UCONN won its national championship. The officials allowed that game to become very physical. Anyone think that maybe somebody said to the officials (or they said among themselves), "Don't let this degenerate into a scrum like last time"?
