Sharpes turnover and lack of a shot fake was the difference… feel for the kid…cost them the game .

It all evens out at the end

Except fouls don't actually only go one way for long spurts. Evening out just means the refs are purposely trying to even it out. Once Florida picked up their 7th foul w 14 min left (Houston had 3), they immediately call three on Houston in 9 seconds and don't call another on Florida for almost 8 minutes. Totally took Houston's ability to be aggressive away.

Duke and Houston had double digit second half leads and then choked at crunch time.Florida won the game even with Clayton not scoring in the first half.Houston tenacious defense with few fouls in the first half but the second half refs kept blowing the whistle.This final four had drama right down to the last possessions.In contrast UConn destroyed opponents with double digit wins in prior two final fours because they had scoring threats at every starting position plus bench scoring.
