"Caveat #1: This game was badly officiated. Baby-faced Wisconsin grabbed, arm-barred, held our cutters and ran moving screens galore (basic Big-10 basketball - remember Illinois in '05?). Hell, I counted 5 uncalled fouls on just ONE of our possessions. And Brice might have actually committed one of the fouls he was called for."
I remember watching the 2005 game. I don't quite remember the Illini getting to line more than UNC or getting the better end of the officiating. Strange. All I remember is that two of the officials in the game ended up doing ACC games the next year for a good pay bump.
