He did....when Packer first said "touch fouls", I rolled my eyes, too - but he made it pretty clear with his subsequent comments that he felt Augustine was just playing lazy defense.

Having said that, if that fifth foul was legit, then May should have been called on that move to the hoop earlier in the game where the defender got basically run over.

Still, in the end, Augustine just looked lost out there, like he was just having an off day. It was instructive to watch May dominate every one of the Illinois big guys in that game. A superb performance.

I was pulling hard for Illinois, but it was a great win by NC.

Packer also talked about those supposed "illegal screens" with about 2:00 to go in the game. To me, they didn't look any different than the ones early in the first half - good consistency by the crew.
