Speaking of refs, it was pretty nice watching so few fouls called

In most games, the refs seemed to be calling fewer fouls than we are used to. There weren't endless trips to the free throw line.

In one game there were ZERO free throws in the first half.

There were bad calls, and exceptions, like the refs blowing a whistle on Drake almost every time Jones had the ball. (OTOH, Drake blew the game going 6 for 14 from the line.)

If we had refs like most of those in the tournament, I believe Bona plays most of the game against Oregon, and we advance in the Pac-12 tournament.
