Did anyone see the call in the first half against NC state, the announcers said it was a "flagrant foul" and it should have been, he threw a punch or tried after an elbow. But, I really think the call was an intentional, because, although he went to the bench, I don't believe he was ejected. Just wondered what anyone who saw it thought of how you would have called it.

You are correct. It was just a mistake by the announcers. The official actually called an intentional foul.

I was pretty sure about that part, but did you think it should have been called a flagrant? I certainly did, it would have been a tough call, but he elbowed him and then threw a punch(didn't land it), looked like to me, of course, that was with the benefit of a slo-mo replay.

Imagine that: "a mistake by the announcers." A first, I'm sure.

Only seeing it the one time, at the time I didn't think it was "flagrant," in the sense of the word that warrants an ejection, as if there was a "punch," I evidently didn't see it that way.
