From my perspective, we had played tremendous defense to start the game, and Louisville only had 6 points after 11:00 minutes of play.  The score was 18-6, but it should have been in the mid-20's.  We missed at the rim around 3 times in the early part of the game, and we were missing so many free throws.  Of course, Louisville was going to eventually start hitting shots.

To me, though, the physical nature of the defense played by Louisville is exactly what is turning me off to college hoops in general - and I have a bunch of die-hard friends who feel the same way.  I recall a drive by Mali where he got hip checked and no call was made.  I recall an early attempt underneath by Lydon where he pump faked the Louisville center and there was clearly contact when he went up for his shot, which missed.  Should have been a foul.  Mali had another drive and got swallowed up inside.  Then Silent G misses his bunny.  Too much of Louisville's comeback was because of the zebras.  I really try not to be a crybaby about the officiating, but wow, that was awful.
