I think you're missing the bigger picture.  Teams like Pitt, Louisville, Villanova, Butler, etc, make their living on bumping, grabbing, reaching in on the opponents.  It's done by design to give them the advantage and put the refs in a position where they have to decide what they are going to call or let go.  Pitino has admitted openly that they play like this because the refs can't, and won't, call everything, and over the course of game they will gain an advantage.

The reason I wanted they arena to cave in Monday night is because you'd either have a clutch and grab group of players win or a school that openly cheated for over two decades carry home another trophy.

Again, it's nice to see Jay get a ring, but that group of players reminded me of a better scoring Butler team.  Arachnid and Ochefu can't be off campus fast enough.  And what's sad is that the venom I show for those guys should probably be directed more at the BE officials who allowed them to physically abuse our guys down the stretch to get the win.

Nova were the darlings of this tourney, and the refs gave them the Duke treatment.
