Yeah well, when I made my prediction about 2 months ago I wasn't counting on the Cats having to deal with the worst half of officiating I have ever seen. And that ain't no joke.
I played in 130+ college basketball games. And I have watched hundreds of thousands of games on TV. And that first half was the worst half of officiating I have seen in my entire life. EVER. Just horrible.
Having said that...the officials called it pretty clean in the second half and we overcame the horrible first half and got a 5 point lead...which we blew in about a minute. Monk was nonexistent for most of the game. Not sure why Fox didn't drive to the hoop more often...that was baffling. Thought Hawkins should have played more. Thought Cal should have gone to a zone several times in that game. Especially when we got the 5 point lead and Roy called the TO. I would have gone zone out of the timeout just to give them a different look and because you know they drew up a play for man to man defense. And because they had missed their last 3 three point shots.
Oh well...it was a good run. Wheel in the next group of youngsters so Cal can ***** and moan about how young we are next season. Rinse. Repeat.
