The refs suck. BOTH WAYS.
Once they saw that Ilinois had 7 fouls to 0 for Lville, they tried to even it out. Geez. The disparity was because Lville was playing zone and Ilinois was taking 3-pointers. That hurt Lville.
Then there was a block by the Illinois player that was cleaner than a baby's bottom. They just let the whistle blow for no damn reason - just FIGURED IT WOULD BE A FOUL. Tht hurt Illinois and cost them a point.
Pitino should have ABSOLUTELY been given a technical for stepping on the court. When you let the coaches get away with stuff like that, you risk having the game boiling out of control - because now, do they dare give Illinois a technical if their coach steps on the court?

Did Pitino think being 3 feet closer to the action was going to help his team defend...I still cannot believe he wasn't warned , I don't recall ever seeing that , it was blatant...and he should have been warned.,,,at one point it appeared he was 5 ft inbounds while the ball was on his end...
Illinois guard should have fired the ball right at him to prove a point....what would the ref have done
