I am aware of Wisconsin's style of play. However, the success of that style against Kentucky was off the charts compared to its success against Arizona and North Carolina. I have a hard time believing that Wisconsin could defend the players from Kentucky without fouling so much more successfully than they could the players from Arizona and North Carolina, especially given the few jump shot attempts by Kentucky compared to Arizona or North Carolina. I believe the referees had a greater say than Wisconsin's players.



Well you could say that the refs called the UNC/Zona games too tight. I did not see the UNC game because I was flying, but the Zona game was awful iMO because they were calling it way too tight.

I would argue that Zona and UNC have as athletic of guard play as Kentucky. Kentucky is dominant down low, but their guard play isn't out of this world good.

Free throws were one of the deciding factors in the championship game. Duke shot 20 free throws to Wisconsin's 10, and Duke made 16 to Wisconsin's 6. Free throw attempts kept Duke in the game, and made free throws provided the margin of victory.

I thought the refs did Wisconsin no favors. Duke could have easily been called for more fouls. There were a couple of plays that looked like obvious offensive fouls by Duke that weren't called, including one that would have put Winslow on the bench with 4 fouls.
