Message: [QUOTE="tomcat, post: 4907819, member: 961"] The same crew of absolutely incompetent referees that handled the UConn game yesterday -- yes, the one they let get out of control with physicality, allowed the Georgetown-Creighton game to turn into a scrum today. One Georgetown player appears to have been pretty seriously (or at least very painfully) hurt. Other players were bouncing off one another all game. The announcers had all they could do to not criticize the refs. I do not think I have seen refs lose control of two consecutive games like this before. Please know that I have no dog in this hunt. I did not care who won this game, so I didn't feel that the refs stole the game from Creighton. However, this is not the usual degree of incompetence where refs don't call some fouls and call others, or call one half differently than the other. This is a crew that says, "Let 'em play" until the bodies start to fall. And even then, when more players are down on the court than standing on it (which literally happened at one point), they don't fix the problem. We will know the NCAA refereeing system is incompetent for sure if this crew gets picked to ref the tournament. [/QUOTE]
