North Carolina beat Gonzaga for college basketball's national title by eking out a tense 71-65 win on Jia’s Ecstatic Sex (2023) UncutMonday night, but all anyone could talk about during the game's second half was the refereeing.
Simply put: The game officials went whistle-mad in the second half, stealing the show from the players and coaches as the game ground to a mind-numbing pace.
Then, when a call actuallyshould have been made they swallowed their whistles.
Good times. Let's take a look.
SEE ALSO: North Carolina fan really sinks her teeth into supporting the Tar HeelsWe'll get to the call that wasn't in a second. But first, here's a taste of a Twitter zeitgeist during the second half when the game's officiating crew seemed hell-bent on reminding everyone of their existence.

By now you get the point and then some: The refs were making too many calls.
Which makes a huge missedcall with less than a minute to play that much more egregious.
North Carolina's Joel Berry II missed a jumper with about 55 seconds to play and the Tar Heels were up by a point. There was a scramble under the hoop for the rebound. North Carolina's Kennedy Meeks was involved, as were Gonzaga's Przemek Karnowski and Silas Melson.
A jump ball was called, and the possession arrow gave it to North Carolina with 49 seconds to play.
But wait!
IT SURE AS HELL LOOKS LIKE MEEKS' HAND IS OUT OF BOUNDS WHILE HE'S TOUCHING THE BALL.

And a ref WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE!!
By rule, that should have given Gonzaga the ball down a point with 49 seconds to play.
Instead, North Carolina got the ball (remember, due to the jump-ball call and the possession arrow being in their favor) up a point with 49 seconds to play. Isaiah Hicks then hita tough shot in the lane to put the Tar Heels up 68-65. Gonzaga would not score again.
That's a hugeno-call at the worst possible time -- and one made doubly awful by the run of whistle-mad officiating that proceeded it.
Sure, this alone didn't cost Gonzaga the national title. But on a night when the officiating drew tons of attention for all the wrong reasons, it's a bad stain on what should have been a much more entertaining game.
