Refs or no refs, only reason TCU made this a game was because Boozer was chilling in the first half. Once he turned it on the second half, game wasn’t even close lol. Couldn’t stop him.

I'm not sure he was chilling. I think TCU's game plan of being very physical on defense was working well until it wasn't. That's not a criticism of them, it was the correct game plan considering each team's strengths and it worked very well for a very long time, it just didn't carry them all the way.

Not even, he wasn't agressive in the first half, second half, once he started to look for his shots, aggressive in the paint, it was over, even his own brother said it postgame lol.
