refs did a solid job

Not bad except for that shove to Garrison where they said it was out of bounds on us when it was clearly off the back of a Troy player.

I was like, "How the hell is that off us?" That about tanked all their good work.
i thought so too live, but we were wrong. he called a foul on the push, then went to the monitor for the upgrade. the lead ref corrected us, saying it was a common foul, then the upgrade. so when that guy pointed at garrison and motioned troy’s ball he either changed it or was pointing at garrison saying he saw the foul. either way, they got it right. sec would have done nothing,

Wasn't wrong about it being off them though. And it clearly was. That ref was looking RIGHT AT IT and signaled it going the other way.

i know he did and pointed at garrison like he touched it last. but they clearly said there was a common foul called.

i think i only questioned two calls all game. that’s a season low. by far.
I think SEC officiating has hurt some teams in the tournament, because they could not get away with some of that grabbing and pushing in the NCAA tournament.

I suppose. Just a bad sequence for them.
it was. i think the lead guy just squashed it seeing that garrison was nowhere near the ball. live, it was a bad call, but they got it fixed. that’s a good job, and they did it quickly.

Astonishing to watch, really. In the first few minutes, you could almost see our players pause after making contact, expecting the whistle.
yep, they let them play and troy wasn’t flopping. it was a perfect storm, and so much better than the sec. i don’t expect it every game, but have a feeling the next one will also be much better than the sec.

Yeah…I think they missed a Troy player stepping on the baseline and the foul on Carr during that late 7-0 by Troy run was ridiculous but I think that was the only two I really saw

Because we were ahead and won the game. Had we not you'd see 5 threads about how the refs were criminals.
Don't believe me? Wait and see if we end up losing this tournament.

i’ll bet it won’t be as bad. we had those threads after wins this year. that’s how bad many sec crews were.

Officials have been a plus so far, they have let them play, and they are not falling for the offensive fake fouls, head flips, b.s. - you could tell our players were expecting whistles on both ends that didn’t come

They do however cater heavily to the underdog on most 50-50 calls in close games

I didn't even really notice the refs. Which means they did a great job. Would love to have more like them in the SEC.
