I am going to play a bit of a contrarian here, but understand that I too think it was a poorly officiated game. But there WERE a lot of fouls.

Almost every screen that the big men set at the top of the key was illegal. Moving, hips jutting out.

There were 4 separate fouls on 3-point attempts in the first 10 minutes of the game. All looked like legit calls (fouls on the shooter's follow through).

Conjecture alert, ... but I would think that one of Mark Few's directive's before the game was for his Zags to match UNC's physicality down low. That is now UNC won games all year (actually, the last 2 years). That led to a lot of bumping, grinding and clutching. And Gonzaga's Zach Collins only played 14 minutes because of this. Freshman mistakes.

SU grad Adam Kilgore agrees:
