Kansas playing better and faster.  Refs have little to do with that.

Disagree.  The refs were calling it tight on Nova's D.  That made them have to back off because of foul count. 

What you see is the outcome.  Offense playing faster because the D backed off.  The refs caused that.

Yes, Kansas playing better, but they have been allowed to bang on D while Nova is called for a lot of ticky tack fouls.

Nope.  Kansas was playing better and faster from the beginning of the half.  Refs had nothing to do with it.

Refs did affect it.  If a banked 3 and that slop off the top of the backboard goes, gotta believe Kansas is going to win

[GGGG]

Ooops.  Nova up 5.

I guess the refs changed back to their old way of calling the game.  LOL.

Kansas puts up the largest lead of the tourney on 'Nova at 45-40...then the 'Cats blitz them with a 10-0 run. Great game right now. Hope the city can quiet down for the next 30 minutes or so.

Dude, the announcers even said the refs aren't consistent, showing Lucas getting away with a foul and then another ticky tack call on Nova.

Yep.  That never happens.  Always the refs fault.

LOL.

God, I thought we were bad on boob plays.

[brewcity77]

Wow, what a turn-around, twisting offensive rebound putback by Bridges. Really fun, good game to watch.

[GooooMarquette]

Huge put back by Bridges.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Both teams look so much more mature than Marquette.

Well no kidding.  Their rosters have a bunch more experience.

Hart has to stop shooting.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

I don't understand how that can NOT be a foul! Took his legs out!

[GooooMarquette]

Yep.  Obvious call.  Dove into Hart's legs.

It appears they changed it to a player control foul so no FTs.  Really was BS, but ended up not affecting anything with Archi getting to go to the line.

Big 3 by Mason.

[GooooMarquette]

Great D by Arch, and heads up play by Bridges.

Good coaching.  4 Nova players turned to refs and were calling for a timeout immediately.

Only one not calling for a timeout was securing the ball.

[cheebs09]

Yep.  Obvious call.  Dove into Hart's legs.

Even if it wasn't a foul, I thought it was a travel. Would have kept him in the game though.

Jay Wright is one of the top 5 coaches in the country.  His players do things right.

[MUWarrior4Life]

Nova wins, good 4 the BEAST!!!

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Great job by Nova. Good for the league. Good for MU.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Jay Wright is one of the top 5 coaches in the country.  His players do things right.

Yet in the last few years fans were questioning at every turn for not going far enough in the tournament.

Fans area funny bunch

Felt so weird to be yelling at the TV for Nova.  Big East conference affiliation runs deep.
