Officiating had nothing to do with this game.

That's the statement I was replying to. Full stop.

I'm not sure what arguing how other missed calls impacted a previous game has to do with that. I'm not a UW fan, and I never claimed anything "cost" them the game. Duke was playing better at that point and probably wins anyway - so the original poster may have been a little hyperbolic saying the game came down to officiating - but if those calls go the way they should have gone it definitely affects how the game plays out, if not the final result.

If the very first questionable calls goes the other way, none of the other plays would have happened. The entire game events change. An entirely new sequence of events would have happened.
