 I pulled up the NCAA rulebook this morning and my read of it says that they got that lane violation call on Nunu wrong. The rulebook says (rule 8.f): "No opponent (player or bench personnel) shall disconcert (e.g., taunt, bait, gesture or delay) the free-thrower." Nunu clearly wasn't in the lane, so they had to have called her for baiting, but you can't "bait" your own teammate. That was a point taken off the board in a crucial moment.

This was a very mysterious call that I don't remember seeing in any other game. I guess the other possibiity if that the ref somehow mistakenly "saw" Nunu actually step into the lane.

Thanks for taking the time to look it up.
