Ok, my point was not that NYU didn't get screwed by officials.  It is entirely possible and they probably did.  I saw Friday's game, but didn't see the NYU game.  My point was that I do not believe it was an intentional effort by the refs, probably just a series of poor calls.  I'm just arguing the people who have looked at the last few home games and say the officials are making a point to help them win. 

As far as your stats about their midwest road games...that kind of support my statement of the east coast calling it looser and playing more physical.  When two midwest teams play they are used to the tighter calls and don't foul as much.  Obviously, just a theory.  I'm not saying the officiating wasn't terrible Sunday, I didn't see it.  But that's not something you can judge solely by a box score, you'd have to be at a game. 

Another thing is that Wash U has very little depth this year...they got in foul trouble in some of the earlier games this year and really struggled with their best players on the bench.  So I'm sure the coaching staff is really emphasizing to the starters not to foul, b/c they cannot afford to.

As far as the refs go - wash u has the same 8 or 9 midwest refs they've had the past 8 years.  Never before has they ever given wash u such a huge advantage purposefully during the last 8 years...so i find it strange that the same refs all of a sudden decide to do so.  Also, Wash U's best 3 players and leading scorers all had 4 fouls...but were simply smart enough not to foul themselves out of the game.  Also, the midwest calls a tighter game than the east coast...so maybe the east coast schools are used to playing more physical because they are used to getting away with it out east.  I'm not saying the refs did a great job by any means...I usually find that refs in general do a pretty poor job - but they were not purposefully biased in any way.  They miss calls and made bad calls both ways.
