How did this team not win it all ?
- Thread starter JST390-2
- Start date
He's cost us at least two, and you won't convince me otherwise.
It's sickening to turn on a game and see that POS's face.
A certain guy with a whistle and dressed in stripes. Rhymes with Ron Wiggins.
A combination between a corrupt referee and Cal's inability to land Miles Bridges or Jayston Tatum.
Get Bridges on that team, and they're winning it all, with or without having to go through Higgins.

Roy went to zone and Cal had nothin. Then Monk still tied it and everyone forgot to contest the shooter.
D Fox's drive into the lane right before halftime really sums it up .. there are pics out there somewhere , 2 defenders fouling him from multiple angles including the face . No call.
That should’ve been the Championship game. Those were the two best teams in basketball. They went nose to nose in Vegas and we got the last shot. We went nose to nose 3 months later and they got the last shot and an official in the back pocket. I won’t fault Cal in that one. If he played every tournament game like he did that one, we’d probably have at least one more title.
Yep two ******** charging calls on Fox in the first half. He only played 28 minutes.
And even with the roofery trying to determine the outcome the entire first half, it took a shoot at the buzzer to beat us.
Another classic Cal meltdown in March. Humphries hit that jumper to put us up 5. I think it was around the 4 minute timeout. At that moment I thought we had it won. Nope. Went on a scoring drought, I think UNC went on a 10-0 or 12-0 run. But the same old story that got us in 2015, 2019 and 2022. We build a lead but then have a few empty possessions at the end of the game. We somehow fought back and tied it before the Maye shot.
Still doesn’t make up for that screw job, but it has been some fun seeing UNC fans on Twitter and elsewhere whining about the refs screwing them in the championship game.
Also had 4 points wiped off the board in the first half. One bogus offensive goaltending that wasn’t; and one “over the back” on a outback dunk where the defender was under the basket
then the obvious of 4 of our 5 starters being in foul trouble and benched 5 min into the game
That is 100% crooked.
Blows my mind a video like this can be out and he is still reffing NCAA games past the first weekend.
Here’s one example:

After 2011 and 2015, Higgins shouldn’t have officiated 2017!

This is one of the few times when the masses are right to blame a ref. That was such bull****.
Hell even Jay Williams, Bill Walton and Mike Decourcy said it was shady as hell.
You can blame 2017 on Higgins but 2015 had no business losing to anyone.
