I watched the replay of the block by Richie after his dagger 3. That was just an
amazing heads-up play to see the ISU player do the shot fake, and then Ritchie anticipate the shot going up and jump in front of the shooter so as not to touch his body, arm or hand to give the refs any excuse to call a foul. On YoutubeTV you can slow down the feed to .5 or .25 speed, so I slowed it down to .25 speed and rewatched it several times.

The side-angle replay of the block shows a big section of Iowa State fans and the ISU coach and bench in the background. Its funny to watch the reactions in 1/4 speed and see so many of the fans immediately throw their arms out and whine calling for a foul, when it wasn't even close to a foul. In the super-slow speed it looks like a bunch of these fans are crying, with their faces contorted and their voices screaming at the refs. The L is settling on their minds at that point.
