[QUOTE="skyIdub, post: 1432646, member: 230966"] While I agree with this, I urge you to go back and watch at least the second half again. I did. During one sequence ND had 5 or 6 straight possessions with a foul called under the basket. Four of them were touch fouls, two were obvious fouls. During the same sequence, Illinois had 3 straight possessions with attempts at the rim, including one with two offensive rebounds and attempted put backs. There was significant contact during each of those possessions....with no calls. ND shot 39 FT's to Illinois' 15...almost 3 to 1 in favor of the Irish. As you said, and I agree, the refs did not "decide the game", but they damn sure had a significant impact on how the game was played. I don't know if it is a preconceived notion that follows Illinois as foul prone, or home cooking, or both, but it definitely was a noticeable difference. [/QUOTE]
