Doomed. Jeff Anderson

[Waquoit]

Higgins

This year, I mean. With the admittedly nice part.

 

[Scottobot]

On this stage I think all refs will be trying to call a perfect game and not make themselves look bad by succumbing to a petty rivalry.

 

[HooperScooper]

Anderson calls more fouls than the other two guys.

I don't recall issues with him from the Iona game, so maybe it'll be OK. Maybe he'll even come in with a pro-BE agenda!

In the first half he was fine. There weren't many fouls called in the 1st half. Then when UConn was up by a lot in the 2nd half he decided to start calling fouls on UConn. I think he called 6 straight fouls on UConn while the other 2 refs didn't call any. Even when he wasn't in the best position to make the call. It was strange. Like he wanted to make a statement when he knew it didn't really affect the outcome.

Whatever. Hopefully he just calls a good game and doesn't have any effect on the outcome tonight.

The difference is, if we get a decent lead and Anderson starts reffing the scoreboard, Miami has shown they can erase double-digit leads.

 

[HooperScooper]

Non-factor. Miami was never even in the bonus.

 

[housekeys]

Non-factor. Miami was never even in the bonus.

They were a factor when Miami cut the lead from 20 to 8. They swallowed the whistle as I predicted when the press came on.

 

[nadavtheman]

He was actually very good tonight. Did not make himself the center of attention as he usually does. Probably called more fouls for us than against us.

Which one of you was this:

 

[Chin Diesel]

If they call the game like they did tonight, I'd take this crew in a heartbeat on Monday night.

Which one of you was this:

LOL. He should not be capping players, but I will give him some credit. That is a good way to handle and defuse the situation

dapping players. Damn autocorrect

We're gonna put SDSU in the same body bag.

Couldn't say this last night, but getting Anderson in the semis may help us NOT get him in the final. Either way, if he's squelched out like last night again, it's a non-issue.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Watched with a bunch of friends that are not big college bball fans and they got a big kick out of the high knees.

 

[willie99]

He's only 1/3 of the crew, and it's a Final Four game

Even John Cahill was decent on the National stage. Conference games, furgetaboutit

From one incompetent reporter named Jeff taking about an incompetent ref named Jeff.
Of course the NCAA would do that to us. We just need to stay focused and do what we’ve been doing and not even make Anderson a factor.

The same way they gave a 4 seed a lousy hotel in Vegas.

I don't know if the six refs who worked yesterday are all rotated out in favor of the last three who weren't used, but if they are, the downside is we had two guys last night who called the fewest fouls per game all season, plus a BE ref (Anderson). So we're likely to get more whistles on Monday.

 

[Chief00]

We don’t get a lot of fouls because we are a jump shooting team and Adams doesn’t like to deal with contact. We are a plenty big team who is ready for physicality and that will help our defensive intensity. Just look at what we did to Arkansas. I think we are built fine for a rock fight.

Adama gets to the line in only about 5% of his atttemots, how do you explain that?

 

[UChusky916]

Because he's more finesse and footwork than overpowering at the rim.

 

[Chief00]

Lol - there is contact nearly every time he gets the ball in the post, not saying they should call it all but just maybe he should go to the line more than jump shooters.

FWIW, Kimble is the #1 ref on KenPom and worked the Gonzaga game. Oglesby is #4 and worked the Arkansas game. Groover is #11 and seems to mostly be an ACC ref, but worked our Marquette regular season win

More whistles might actually help us against a SDSU team that plays as physically as they can get away with (and sometimes beyond -- FAU was in the double bonus for like 6 minutes in the second half last night).

 

[Tenspro2002]

Never heard of them. That's a great sign.

It’s in the post

 

[Mr. French]

I’ve decided to not care. I think Hurley has moved on too.

Told ya.

 

[Billy Jack]

I don't pay attention to 90% of refs by name. Could somebody post Anderson's transgressions to enlighten casual fans?

He blew the whistle when UConn players committed fouls.
