I didn't mention this much during the Wisconsin / Montana game because my Cardinal-colored glasses were in full bloom. So, I'll change the context.
It almost seems like teams that don't play bully ball are getting penalized. Maybe I just watched a handful of games where it was blatantly obvious guys were getting destroyed underneath or thrown out of the way during a rebound. If you play sound defense, fine, but you can get extremely physical and that is ok. Maybe I'm noticing it more this year than in years past.
Obviously the officials swallow the whistles more in the big dance. What I would hate to see is a team like Wisconsin makes it to the National Championship game. They are performing really well at halftime, but then the whistles come out in the second half -- against the Badgers. Hypothetically, they could be playing a blue blood with, maybe, a hall of fame coach. Not that we would ever see something like that... 😉
To be serious, I would like to see consistency. That's all.
