Good GRIEF

Man, it's just impossible to watch this and not be cynical about these calls. Just ABSURD at how bad they are.

I hope they get drummed out by a 16 seed.

We lost because USC beat us, not the officials.

I agree, and did not say otherwise.

Well they certainly did NOT help.

Normal players pick up their 3rd Foul and they have to play conservative on Defense.

Media Darling Stars pick up a 3rd Foul and DARE the Referees by playing more aggressive than ever! (Asia Wilson) They know that the Referees are too gutless to call the game straight up and risk sitting the Star on the bench with Foul trouble.

To me, bitching about the officials every 17in game gets tired. Officials never have been and never will be perfect. It's impossible to be so.

This is true. We had one of the best players in the nation with 3 fouls in the 3rd late and failed to feed the ball low until she got her 4 th. I don't care what league you play in, it's a basic. Continue until she fouls.

And this won't be popular, but William cost us that game too. We needed someone who could play inside out and she didn't have her head screwed on during a couple possessions.

Vivians has disappeared, William is lost without her.

It is difficult to watch. College basketball is dead. This is just theatre. Maybe as compensation, the sec will allow us to host a tournament in Jackson. Two home games for Carolina seems a bit unfair.

The best thing to do is to win every game by so many points to ensure that calls by the Referees cannot change the outcome. Unfortunately, you can't blow out every opponent...so you wind up putting your faith in the Referees to call the game evenly and fairly.

So when the Referees make mistakes one tends to get a little upset...but nothing can be done because Referees are human beings too and make mistakes just like the rest of us.

Plenty can be done. The game became too subjective in the early/mid 80s when the NBA wanted more scoring so they relaxed on traveling and punished breathing on a shooter.

All contact is not a foul. Position, moving or not, is position. Jumping into someone while shooting is not a defensive foul. A pivot foot is just that. Want to move it? Dribble. And1 isn't basketball. It's professional wrestling with a basketball.

There is basketball and there is this ********.

The way the game is called now, is ********.

The women's game as recently as a couple years ago was as close to the original game as could be expected.

What a shame.
