I thought there would be a lot more talk in here about both local schools (just saw that Gonzaga lost).
I'm glad there isn't a lot of bitching about the refs in the U game, the U had their chances but rebounding and missed layups (bigs missed a few bunnies) cost the U the game. Now granted the U didn't have the home court advantage in the way of calls (37FT's to 21FT's) Chapman & Poeltl getting fouled out, and Loveridge playing with 4 fouls for about the last 8min of the game I think did have an affect but the U still controlled their own destiny and had they grabbed just one more rebound, specifically the missed FT attempt when the U was up 1, that's what cost the game IMO.
Now the foul trouble forced coach K to make rotation changes and he decided to go small (which I think was a mistake given the rebounding issues) and play 3 PG's at 5'10", 6'1" and 6'5" also doesn't help that Reyes has been absolutely atrocious vs AZ this year, well that would be an insult to the word atrocious but I think my point is made.
