And that's true. But it's the big game, and most people expect it to be decently officated game.

Unfortunately, it's not up to par.

Actually, you are overestimating what "par" is. As pathetic as the officiating has been in this tournament, I'd say the refs of this game have cleared that very low bar to be "above average".

I disagree. This crew is considered by many fans, to be the worst crew. And there were obvious missed calls for both teams that they should had called, and others that they DID call, should have NOT called.

Either way, they want in the action, they're gonna control the game, one way or another, and that sucks.

Let the kids play.

Typical Ed Hightower ref'd game ... poorly officiated, but equally so for both teams.
