This style of officiating is so much more preferable to what usually happens in MW play. Sure there have been some questionable no calls but it's better than guys getting in foul trouble in the first half and teams being in the bonus with 13 minutes left.
I don't put too much stock in conference tournaments having much sway on seeding. I think that is mostly done at this point, they just swap out bubble teams and make minor adjustments. But I do agree that UNM is in barring something crazy with bid stealers. NET has only been around for 5 years but it would be quite the statement to leave out a top #25 NET team when the only big blemish is a quad 4 loss.
Yeah I heard that excuse but even if that is true, it still points to a coaching failure. The directive should have been for any defender to foul as soon as the ball got near midcourt and FSU had that opportunity. Giving the team down 3 a chance at a tie with under 10 seconds is just dumb.
