College Basketball World Reacts to Officiating in FAU-San Diego State Final Four Game

FAU and San Diego State were battling late in their Final Four matchup on Saturday, but despite the close contest, college basketball fans were a bit unsettled by the slew of stoppages during the second half of the Aztecs' comeback victory.

Down the stretch of the game, there was virtually nothing the officials would let slide. A multitude of foul calls were whistled late in the game, with the notion of letting the kids play seemingly going by the wayside. 

Nearly every possession ended in a foul down late in the second half, though neither side was particularly efficient at the free throw line. 

Needless to say, the college basketball world wasn't thrilled about the officials' involvement late in the game. 

While the first half saw plenty of free-flowing action, the officials were vastly more involved in the second half, resulting in some strong reactions from across the college basketball world.
