And the Refs did everything possible to give them the game down the stretch.
A flagrant 1 should have been called on UNC where the UNC player chopped down at the arms of the Syracuse player, very violently, never even coming close to hitting the basketball. Just called as a regular foul.
Two possessions where the original call gave the ball to UNC, should have been given to Syracuse, replay reversed the call and gave the ball to Syracuse.
Clear flagrant foul by Bacot where he pulled the Syracuse player down from behind by grabbing his jersey. Refs were just going to send the Syracuse player to the line until the Syracuse coach complained enough and they had to review the call. Review showed a flagrant 1 that everyone watching saw the first time.
