I reviewed the UNC game several times via replay. There were 9 instances (7 by NC and 2 by Cuse) in the first half where the ref(s) could have called fouls on players that initiated the contact (one was a NC hard push on a rebound) but for the most part the refs let the players on both teams play.

In the second half up until 5:50 remaining, the refs allowed the teams to play without excessive foul calling. Then, this was about the time Bacot went to the bench for a breather. Not sure if it was a coincidence but the referees started calling the game tighter than previously. They weren’t as consistent as before and it seemed like touch fouls by Cuse players were being called and harder fouls by UNC were being missed.

I disagree with the flagrant 1 foul on Judah. From one angle, it was a definite charge and a second angle it looked like Davis only had one foot in position while the other foot was still moving.  It looked like Judah was bringing his arm/shoulder into position to shoot vice intentionally hitting Davis.  They both were moving: one to defend and the other to score.

The play where Judah fouled out would had normally been a non call as was the call seconds earlier when the UNC player shoved Judah off balance with his hands to make space/room to receive the pass. Judah in recovery stumbled and the foul was called on him.

Around 21.4 remaining, Bacot clearly moved Hima to clear him out of position for a rebound on the foul shot preceding JGIII attempting to save the ball (that he had last touched) to a NC player for a score. it was a no-call that should had been a foul.
