Message: [QUOTE="Orangeman, post: 1726387, member: 972"] Gonzaga also was not charged with a foul in the first 7 mins of that game when they built up their 11 point lead to start the game (I think 3 fouls called on SU). Overall I don't think the headline officiating was bad...but its more-than-interesting that outside of these three suspicious (to me at least) runs in the Gonzaga (-11); UVA (-15), UNC (-14) during which the foul totals were something like 17-2 against SU, SU played pretty well it seems. There is obviously no way to quantify "non-calls" that SU might have received otherwise during those runs. There were also two high-profile, awful calls at key points: Cooney out of bounds and the Block on G vs. Brogdon when they each had one foul. Obviously there are lots of factors and I could be dreaming, but IF you were going to influence outcomes, that's how you'd do it. I checked and there are no similar runs for our opponents where SU got 7-8 min no-foul runs. [/QUOTE]
