Should have been an offensive foul at the top of the key; instead, they gave him a bail-out nonsense call after he'd already missed the layup.

For as low as the score is, the D has been bad. Lazy effort with pockets of the good D they normally play. 

Offensively, it has been atrocious.

Admittedly, the officials did get that call correct.  It would have been a charge were it not for the restricted area.

Somehow, a team that committed 18 fouls in the first 30 minutes of the game has played eight consecutive minutes of foul-less basketball.

You wouldn't know it from the amount of contact, of course...

That's five consecutive fouls called against Michigan, one of the least-fouling teams in the country.

I guess we should look at it this way, you’re never as great as your best (UNC, Villanova) and you’re never as bad as your worst (today, South Carolina). They are somewhere in between, which isn’t as good as we thought, but not as bad as we make it out to be either. They aren’t a 1 seed, but more like 3 or maybe the 4th 2.
