Nice to watch a game where the refs weren't a factor.  Maybe the best refereeing I've seen in a WBB game all season.

I thought it was plagued by pretty bad calls from the start.  My favorite missed call was the hack against a Betts goal that was (unintentionally) highlighted in a TV replay deep in the 2nd half.

Maybe when we win by so much, the officiating doesn't seem so obvious.

Pretty much everyone had a really good game.  That's what a 1-16 game should usually feel like.  But now it is back to work.

Tara commented in the presser that part of situation in moving from the 1st to the 2nd quarter was adjusting to the officiating. 

This seems to have been a bigger deal this year than in some past years--not that the officiating is horrible one way or the other (you could say it has always been horrible) but that the variance between tightly called and loosely called games has expanded, requiring much bigger adjustments.  You just don't know what kind of basketball game you will be playing until you sound out the refs for a quarter.
