This is some of the worst officiating that I've seen all tournament. The only time Gonzaga makes a "run" is due to foul calls on Baylor (many of which are questionable) and no foul calls on Gonazaga (even when they should be obvious). Drew et al should be furious at this point. Whatever the outcome, I hope these officials are sanctioned (or whatever happens when you make poor calls).

That would have been a jump ball if jersey colors were reversed.

I really wish there was a way to ask officials after the game to explain crap calls like that one.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

YMCA rule, you have to give the player 2 feet of space.
