Go Stanford needs some quality control on it's stats. According to the current box score, Stanford made 25 FG, 10 3-pointers and 19 free throws. While Utah made 28 FG, 13 3-pointers and 4 free throws. That would be 99-99. The final score was 79-73. Some reliable stats would be nice.

Uhm. 25 Figs with 10 3’s is 15*2 +10*3 + 19= 79. FGs is all 2s and 3s combined. So you need to subtract the 10 from the 25 to get the 2 pointer count. Utah similarly is 15*2 + 13*3 + 4 = 73

That seems unnecessarily complicated but, oh well. Must be tradition.

So Stanford lost from 2 point range and from 3 point range while walloping them at the charity stripe. I'm guessing Utah fans are blaming it on the refs.

If so, they would be deluding themselves in my opinion. Stanford shot 14 more FTs than Utah.  In the last minute plus when Utah was trying to foul, Stanford shot 8 to Utah's 0.  Utah also missed the first FT of a one-and-one 3 times (and Stanford never did).  That accounts for a difference of 11. I don't think that any objective observer would have thought the the refs unfairly favored either team.
