This just in: Officiating is ruining the game!!!
- Thread starter bruiser.sixpack
- Start date
It has been a very poorly officiated game in the 2nd half. Just a lot of really really poor calls. It has messed up the flow big time.
The worst is when somebody gets decapitated under the basket with no whistle, then the next time down the court they call a hand check 30 feet from the rim.
IDK I was watching that game from the stands and both teams were playing really well IMO. Hard fought game. I feel like the officials really messed with the flow of the game.

Official sucked and the announcers for the game were all in for Alabama. The whole production was a "Alabama needs to be in the tourney" setup. Every player from Alabama played at a high level according to them and our best player, Perry, still needed some work because he is still a raw talent. That last foul they called against Perry was a complete joke and Dave Neal responded with, "Well, it looked like their waists might have touched!" What a tool.
The announcers werent at all for Alabama. They continually praised Perry, Woodard, Carter, Ado, Howland, and the effort on the court. They continually discussed(to an annoying degree) how the game was critical for BOTH teams due to being on the bubble.
As for Neal responding that there was some hip connecting on Perry's foul, that was after Fishback lost his mind over how bad the call was and Neal was half laughing when he pointed out that there was hip contact. It was basically a grasp at straws to explain why the call could have possibly been made. Fishback then laughed at that, completely dismissed it, and Neal didnt disagree at all. Why you ignore 90% of the commentary during that sequence is odd. 90% of the commentary was focused on how bad a call it was.
Its always interesting how people can see the same thing and come away with different accounts of what happened.
It’s not normally that noticeable, but MSU won by 7, yet the player of the game was still Kira Lewis.
Fishback was a total Alabama homer
How you heard otherwise is beyond me. He made some positive comments about Perry before saying he still needs to work on a few things. The video features on players were Alabama all the way. I thought that happened primarily when we traveled to places like UK they show lots of features on the home team. Well, most of the night was highlights from Alabama. They did say that Howland was a final four coach. They discussed how both teams needed it but State more because of our weak resume. If Alabama had a call against them like Perry did then Neal would have just agreed with Fishback. He's an Ole Miss homer (married one). I agree with your last sentence. I'm still trying to figure out how you believe the announcers were unbiased.

It was almost as bad as the girls game on Sunday. I have to credit the team for the win despite my dire predictions.
Perry does need to work on a few things. A few glaring things- its why he is so low in mock drafts. When a player has a reputation as a top 5 player in the league as a sophomore and already tested the draft, then discussion revolves around his game at the next level. Great players are scrutinized more than mediocre players- go figure.
The announcers continually declared that Bama was out of sorts on offense after the elbow injury. They continually complemented Ado for his hustle.
As for your claim that if Bama had a call go against them like Perry's bad call, well thats an absurd claim on your part. You are now defending your position by claiming to know how they would have reacted to a hypothetical situation. Come on.
It isnt nearly as bad as you and others on here make it. Maroon colored glasses is a saying for a reason- reality doesnt look like how many MSU fans see it.
No argument about Perry
My point was that they didn't make comments like that about the Alabama players. Just how great they play and how fast paced they are blah blah. To me it was like a back handed complement. Yeah but they blathered over how Alabama always went after the ball that was a clear indication that they were deserving of the opportunity to play in the tourney. They loved Kira and I guess he doesn't have any work to do and he's looking at a high draft opportunity. After years of having the pass the "Eye Test" I get pissed when I hear them rant about a team then patronize ours. You don't deny that they showed a few features on Alabama while snubbing us???? Maybe I was out of the room when they showed MSU highlights but I don't remember them. They raved over Alabama's win over Ole Miss.
Yes I also heard them talk about Bama was out of sorts but why weren't they talking about our great run instead. You made my point there. When Alabama was doing well it was "Wow, they are fast paced and move the ball well." Which is true and I agree with but when we do it "Bama is out of sorts!" Maybe you just like Bama more than I do.
You didn't hear Dave Neal say anything when calls were questioned on the Bama side did you? There were at least two that I can recall. I rest my case.
Look, I know you want to have rose colored glasses about how the game was called but I am an engineer. It is my nature to be critical. I am not a rose colored glasses State fan as you absurdly state since you don't know me. I get just as upset when officials don't call games right even when our players get away with stuff. I wish they would call Witherspoon for palming the ball. I hate that regardless of who handles the ball that way. I would rather see us be charged with a foul if we commit it than see the officials favor us in a game. What is right is right IMHO.
