Prediction-Refs will determine tonight's game

[Spaceman213J]

The way this games is called is going to be huge. Arizona moves the ball the well, but the identify perceived mismatches and taking guys 1 on 1 is a primary part of their offense as well. If they are allowed to get away with pushing off defenders or the refs call it extremely tight, it could be a big edge for 'Zona.

Either way, UConn has to continue to run offense and hopefully draw some fouls of their own. Hoping the refs aren't a talking point after. Hoping for a well played game by both teams.

Let's all hope not. Let the kids play.

Already focusing on the refs before game time makes me hesitant to enter the chat room tonight.

One B1G ref, one B12 ref, one Big East ref for tonight.

2 to 1 in favor of physicality.

You should always be hesitant to enter the chat.

It's like you don't even know us.

As someone that doesn't watch a lot of non Uconn Bball, it seems we get called for a lot of touch fouls. Do we just play D that way more than most teams? BYU game seemed like the halves were referred by different folks, IMO. Did our D change that much or did the refs?

problem is B12 ref will favor AZ, as will Big East ref....

That is just so weird to me.

I admit I am an old man. And I do remember when physicality was such a big deal.in the BE that the conference adopted a 6 foul rule.

Now, that is no longer us.

Well, seeing how the game doesn't start until a Ref blows a whistle and tosses the first "jump ball"....

Yea, I agree the Refs will be important in determining at least one outcome of the game.

Forget the chatroom, just go to the game

I always pray I don't see James Breeding or John Gaffney. One of these days, one of those guys is going to toss me
