Refs?

[The Boatyard]

What's up with the refs the last few games? Tonight wasn't as bad as the Marquette game but still.

 

[Fishy]

It has been...interesting.

It has been...interesting.

I am 100% in your camp on this one fishy....Marquette I thought was a lot of wining, but this was a compete injustice....and the announcers don't even acknowledge it.....like, yeah that's about right that's what should happen to Uconn. When does this stop???

Nowhere near as bad as Marquette. One call with 2 seconds left, you don't always get that. Marquette was a butchering job for the last 10 minutes, one call after another.

 

[tzznandrew]

The last play was awful. But, as annoyed as I am, that doesn't often get called.

The rest of the game was called fairly.

 

[The Boatyard]

There were a few iffy calls tonight...more non-calls than calls. Nothing as rally-killing or game-changing (other than the last play) as with the Marquette game, but still one-sided. I'm not one to blame refs for an outcome, but lately it's been a little odd.

I thought the opposite, Marquette was the complete injustice. This game was fine, at least relative to how officiating usually is, with the possible exception of the last non-call.

Again not the reason but who saw the last Cuse score and the replay? I mean #1 they missed the travel as Fair had a hop skip and a jump - and then the ball was still on the rim for Melo.........

One real puzzling thing is the first foul on Waiters to end the half when he was trying......how is it NOT intentional when Boat already is past him flying up court and he grabs him by the neck? Make the call............

Having said that I'm sure some Cuse fans can find some too they always even out.......Orange just made more plays again than our guys!

 

[tzznandrew]

I didn't notice Fair traveling. But on ESPN3 they had the overhead camera for Melo's put-back. It was clearly off the rim.

I'd like to think that a blatant takedown with twomseconds to o and a referee standing right there is a call made more often than not. But then again, we are lying, cheating UConn, scourge of college hoops, so why not add a little more salt to our many wounds

 

[sparkdog]

I thought the ball was on rim on that play also. The foul on RS just was Jim Burr being Jim Burr. makes calls up but then doesn't call what is fouls.

Oops. I called out a cuse fan for that.

 

[tzznandrew]

Oops. I called out a cuse fan for that.

I was sure it was basket interference until I saw the replay, so I don't blame you.

George gets no respect from the guys in stripes.

Marq was the worst called game I've ever witnessed in my life. Reminded me of the Steelers vs Seahawks SB, shockingly bad

Pitt @ UConn, Blair vs Thabeet was pretty bad too. A Cahill classic.

This. Blaney should have gotten a technical early in the second on the Napier drive to the hoop where it looked like Cuse was just trying to give the foul, and the refs did nothing. Boeheim was calling his own fouls all game.

 

[Ricky1Moore]

I'm so pissed about losing this game right now... But it's not the lack of a call on roscoe that bothers me, it was a foul, but one that is not often called. I would like to know how it is possible that at the 2 minute mark of the first half, Cuse had been called for only 1 foul. That was the period of the game that hurt us, could've used some whistles there... I will never say any loss to Cuse is a good or decent loss, because we are their daddy and have 3x as many championships, and are in a higher class... But this loss could lead to some winning... (Or a collapse) ... But at least there's a chance this could spark better times...

Stick with this rotation, AD, roscoe, lamb, boatright, Napier start... AO, NG are the main contributors after that.. Then DD and TO only when necessary... We may have found our elusive rotation

CAN WE EVER GET SOME HOME COOKING!?!

I mean, .

 

[UC990411]

very insightful

It has been...interesting.

 

[UChusky916]

The refs ran off the floor in record time as soon as the buzzer sounded.

 

[jrazz12]

I don't think it's a coincidence at all that these kinds of games/calls are taking place with GB on the sidelines instead of JC

 

[pepband99]

Stupid Burr. You would think he would occasionally call something at the end of the game, after his suspension in the BET last year.

 

[SkyWalker2011]

This is Burr we're talking about guys. The same official that let Saint Johns run off the court and throw the ball into the stands with time on the clock and not call it last BE tournament. Remember this http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/news/story?id=6201265? These guys need to retire.

Sorry but we are UConn. Refs were bad, but when did we start blaming the refs for our loss(es)? Just saying that we've had our share of calls over the years, including championship runs.

Personally I blame the 1st half for the loss (players and coaches).

I'm with you this game. This is the type of game where it was one call or so. You should be able to overcome that.

As for the Marquette game though, that was a tragedy.
