Anyone who knows anything about ball knew Wisconsin was a very tough matchup for Nova yet the talking heads keep referring to it as shocker. Not at all, Wisconsin has bigs, experience, a great clutch player in Koenig and a player in Hayes who matched up very well with Hart. Hart had a good game, he is a heck of a player, but he could not take over down the stretch as he has done so many times. Nova was lucky that Happ and Keinig both got in foul trouble which probably kept them in the game. Just a horrible 1-8 matchup for Nova. To Moose, the more I watch the more I agree with your feelings about the refereeing, beyond horrible with constant inconsequential calls off the ball and "guess" calls way too many times. Last point, if the intentional on Rodriguez is called which I think it should have been, how was the Hayes grab of Divencenzo not called? Rodriguez's, IMO, was lazy but in a fouling situation which every ref has dealt with many times. Hayes' was clearly in the context of a game still very much in doubt and more egregious that Rodriguez's.
