I just finish watching the Duke and Connecticut game. I hate a game when the officials think they are greater than the game being played. I looked at the box score and there was a total of 43 fouls called. The officiating was absolutely horrible for this game both ways. They called tick tack fouls early putting Okafor on the bench for the whole first half and continue to call tick tack fouls up until the last 2 minutes. All of the sudden, they decided to let them play. Reddick gets fouled on the drive to the basketball at the end and Boone goes over the back to tip the ball to Okafor to put Connecticut ahead. Does anyone have opinions who watched the game?
The refs were inconsistant, but it did go both ways. Had Okafor not been called on those early fouls, this game might have already been decided and Reddick's drive not even mattered. I think they must have used an SEC officiating crew.
