This team averaged 15 per game for the season, with a high of 23 against Albany and 21 against Notre Dame. So this game was 14 above the season average. In the tourney to this point SU had been called for 47 fouls, or 15.6 fouls per game, roughly our season average. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but this game is the outlier of our entire season.
 
Who knows if reffing made a difference in this game. I think it did, but you can't ever know for sure, there are too many variables. With that said, it definitely changed the way SU played the game and kept valuable personnel off the court for long periods of time.
 
You can also say that if we made more bunnies, we would have won, but the two arguments aren't mutually exclusive in my mind. Biggest factor to me in this game as it was played, was not having Fab in the middle. He would have pushed Sullinger out more, and not given ground. There's a huge difference between Sully going against a 215 lb sophomore or a 230 lb freshman OR a 270 lb sophomore defensive player of the year. That right there would have changed the entire complexion of the game. Ah, what if, what if...
