I HATE games like this; however, I DEMAND one thing for fair officiating....call it BOTH WAYS, the same. They did that tonight....

If coaches and players at this level CAN'T adjust their game plans, IF the officials are calling it the same on both ends....in this case, "letting 'em play"....that's NOT bad officiating. You may not like it, but it isn't "bad"...

In this case, SIU executed an great game plan; and they "almost" beat the 'hawks. Good for them. Bravo.

The bottom-line is, despite not being able to play "their" game....the 'hawks found a way to win. UCLA won't be a push-over (assuming they advance) but I do like the way we match up against them....

So quit your sniveling. :cuss:

The only KU game this year in which I would disagree with your assessment is the Texas AM game. But we don't want to relive that argument. That loss was part refs and part bad coaching down the stretch. And sometimes the refs do need to be held accountable for mistakes.

That being said, the officiating seemed to favor SIU in this game. For the most part, it did balance out. But there were a lot of questionable calls (or lack thereof). Point is that for anyone to whine about the refs helping KU is completely overlooking the fact that the refs helped SIU stay in this game. Several posters already mentioned the traveling and overly physical play.

If you look back in the game thread, there was a point in the first half where I was bitching about the refs. I don't have a problem if they are letting them play a more physical brand of hoops. But it didn't seem like it was being called equally on both ends. I think that it did start to even out before the half and into the 2nd half. I still don't think the refs did a good job, but it wasn't completely obviously one sided. Still, if anyone wants to bitch about the refs, it should be a KU fan. I think most unbiased observers, if forced to give their opinion, would say that the refs somewhat favored SIU.

saul you sure are nasty for a guy who used to like the jayhawks

Maybe I've been drinking too many beers tonight, but I'm not sure what you are saying. I agree that those 2 things you mentioned were missed by the refs. I'm just saying that they missed a lot of stuff that SIU did, as well.

I don't think they were consistent, I think the calls sort of balanced out, but it was not consistent.

I thought ku was getting the short end on the calls SIU was reaching in when ku drove all night. I know SIU plays great D but believe or not they do commit fouls.

Exactly! :thumb:

KU won....everthing else is sour grapes

ROCK CHALK

Funny how different folks watch the same game, see it different ways.

Personally, I thought they sucked; but at least they sucked BOTH ways, in the end....which is consistency, even if it is consistency of the worst kind. My deal is, if you make a mistake....you better pay it back. They seemed to do that, IMO.

:shrug:

Yep, he's threatened me before. He starts this every time he starts losing.

lets just be honest here. Who stands to win if the jayhawks advance. The NCAA. End of story

let's just be honest here...you're gay

Did the NCAA rig KU's loss to Bradley last year too?

:rolleyes:
