I didn't watch the entire Stanford v. UCLA game, but the Bruins got at least a little help against the Cardinal. Stanford went up 2 with just over 7 seconds left in regulation. On the Bruins' ensuing possession, Darren Collison had his shot blocked cleanly. Fortunately for the Bruins, one official thought he was fouled. He motioned that he got him down low, with the body. Umm ... there may have been some contact, but no one in their right mind would have called a foul on it. I think the official probably anticipated and just screwed it up. Rather than UCLA ball out-of-bounds with 2 seconds left, they had one of the best FT shooters in the nation at the line.
I don't understand why the officials let Kevin Love hook on every post move (they call that on other players) and ride the opposing guards when he is hedging on ball screens (it's a pretty obvious foul). And, I'll only briefly mention the incredibly low toss of the jump ball in OT ... I don't think either guy would have needed to jump. It was a good thing for Love and the Bruins.
Oh, and that intentional foul in OT? That was a joke ... but it was just par for the course.
