I can predict the Arizona gripes--that they called called for 11 more fouls than we were.  But, frankly, they deserved them.  Their defensive aggression depends upon them bodying up on our players a lot--and while they were usually disciplined enough not to foul with their hands, these officials did decide to call them for the complete-body fouls.  

I do think this was one of the least-well officiated games I have seen, but it did not tip the balance either way.  The terribleness seemed to cut both ways.

For some reason, in the 3rd quarter the refs called only 6 fouls on Stanford but had the audacity of calling 13 fouls on Arizona.
(Sounds to me like it was a half-time "adjustment" from the coach.)
