I was at the game. I have probably seen 2000 basketball games in my life. Its not hyperbolic to say the referees decided this game from about the 10 min mark of the second half on. Byu was not playing 5 on 5. It was 8 on 5.
You can make a legit argument there were 10 bad calls against us in that time. 10! That is very difficult to overcome.
