The boys played really good defense, and actually tried hard. Entertaining game after the refs quit calling 2 fouls per minute (which seems to happen at the beginning of every game...). We just aren’t very good, but the effort was there. Can’t complain.

Talent, coaching, whatever aside - officiating in this sport is so bad that it’s killing it. It ruins everything.

I've been wondering the last few years whether officiating has gotten so much worse - or that it's now just more obvious because of better TV technology (HDTV, slow mo replay, more camera angles).

My nephew played high school ball in Lexington in the mid 2010s. I went to a few games. The officiating was comically bad.

I mean, Shows is supposed to be an elite ref and he is awful. You might as well give a Roomba a whistle and turn it loose out there.

We haven't even gotten into the conference games yet. That's where the **** really hits the fan with officiating. Wait until these over-matched clowns get in those ****** gyms in Starkville and Oxford and get all excited because they rode the pine as unathletic nerds on their high school basketball teams but now they're actually on the court with a packed house of 8,000 frat kids cheering, and why shouldn't it be for them--- CHARGE!!!!!!! THAT'S A CHARGE!!!!!!!

Our best hope for this ******** year is that gonzaga wins the title and we can just move on from this quietly.

Louisville is 7 days away from blowing us out at Rupp. After that it just wait for it to end.

Our light skinned players are awful. Need more pure bloods. Perhaps an Ancestry and Me before we take commitments .


Sestina isn't included.

I think our team can be good, maybe even great, but how can you expect to get into any type of rhythm when you are constantly whistled?

Most people agree that Cals players games flourish and expand after they leave, which I think Cal takes too much blame for and the refs get none because it’s so cliche.

When you win 80% of your games, but are sub .500 with certain officials, it’s not all a coincidence.
