Go Duke. Be great to see one of the greatest college coaches of all-time go out on top. Plus, I know how muck Coach K and the Dookies are loved on this board……
Was pulling for Gonzaga. But that ship sailed. My impression is they lacked depth. And Holmgrens foul trouble hurt. I sure wish they’d go to 6 fouls.
Basketball is incredibly hard to ref. All you can ask for is consistentcy. Calls are gonna be missed.
Having said that, college hoops is “over officiated” way too many tricky tack fouls. Way too many charging calls that should be blocks or non-calls. And the 5 fouls disqualification rule should be changed.

One play an Arkansas guard dribbled baseline and around half his foot was out of bounds and no ref called it. Arkansas got a 3 on that possession. There were numerous phantom calls and just plain missed calls. They kept bringing in the officiating expert Gene Steratore and he kept reluctantly saying things like "yeah that probably shouldn't have been called" and "surprised they missed that". It was embarrassingly bad.
