I believe that is generally true in WBB officiating. Star treatment and all that. It is (ultimately) seeing what you expect to see.The first question and CVS's answer regarding the officiating was interesting. I don't recall ever seeing any of those three at an RU game prior to yesterday.
Maybe it's my scarlet-tinted glasses but it seems the WBB Officials seem to look more at the ranking when calling a game. Maryland (and other ranked teams) seem to get more 50-50 calls than unranked teams.
