XU fan here. Not bitter.
I've seen the replay a million times now and it seems to me like the ref could have called that a flagrant foul or not. Under the boards with guys crashing hard at the end of a game it is a tough call. Am I wrong? Only Oden knows that. The fact is he put XU on the line and they could have made it a two possession game by draining 2 free throws. They didn't and then they let Lewis run the floor to take an open shot a couple seconds later. Sure- it was a great run, but if XU had been ready to play defense there, I say they could have moved on.
