that was the worst officiating I have ever seen. Illinois had 4 rediculous calls that cost them 9 points

In every game there are bad calls. As a Hurricane fan, it does seem fitting though that a Big Ten team gets their season squashed by the refs, even if it wasn't the final play of an overtime National Championship game. Not that I'm still bitter about it or anything, or even remember Terry Porter's....er...I mean the ref's name.

And a lot of illegal screens that weren't called.

Illinois got to shoot over illegal screens the whole second half. Couple that with the way the refs let them mug AZ down the stretch and you got no gripe. Good riddance to them.

Not sure about the 9 points, but I agree...terrible officiating..."TOUCH FOULS"?...for the national title.

Oh well, St. Louis Cardinals baseball coming up.

What cost Illinois was the inability to sink a shot in the last two minutes.
