Officials tonight..

Not sure if McKay's situation was a technical but I absolutely could not believe they didn't check the monitor.
Hogue had a Marcus Smart-esque flop tonight, which I'm not a big fan of but Okie State deserves it for having him flop every game for two years. There were a lot of missed travel calls IMO tonight. Nash had a couple, Nader had one or two. Georges got away with one. And then the Forte tieup/timeout was just a joke. So basically what I'm saying is... officiating was poor but we didn't get screwed by any means
 
Very glad we won. However if we didn't win that game we would have been calling for the officials heads. Don't make it sound like it was both ways because we won when 3/4 of people on here would have not been saying the same if we lost. That foul where hogue got hacked and fell to the ground and actually got the foul called on him and not reviewing the flagrant foul could of cost us the game. Once again happy about the win but officiating was clearly one sided and the only reason everyones not saying so is because we won

Maybe its been addressed but I thought Dustin got screwed on our end when he rebounded a miss then ended up on the court and got called for the foul. I think even the Okie State players were surprised. What a great win.

That was the worst calls I've seen in quite some time. Dustin has the ball in his hands gets knocked to the ground and its a foul on him? If anyone committed a foul on that play, it was the OSU guy, but it really just should have been a jump ball.

The timeout given to OSU after the tie-up was also pretty bad, but such is life on the road.

As for the non-flagrant, I was actually ok with the call. It looked really bad live at full speed and I was initially ****** they didn't call it, but then I watched the replay in slow motion several times and think they made the right call. It looked to me like the initial foul caused McKay to fall backwards into Cobbins, who looked like he was trying to prevent him from falling too hard.

They absolutely still could have called it based on how it looked at full speed, but there was a ref standing right there with about the best view of it you could ask for, who was obviously pretty convinced that it wasn't a flagrant that he didn't even look at it. The fact that the exchanges immediately following the play were pretty amicable probably contributed to it remaining an ordinary foul.

I honestly think the other two I mentioned were worse calls than that one.

When I saw it was Matvick again I just muted the whole game. They were probably watching the mega hyped Duke/NC game on TV during our game.

Georges' fourth foul was just a silly call, as were many others.
 
thankfully we won, but I often wonder if I will ever see the day when the good guys lose, but someone starts a thread to comment how good the officials were.

I just had to SMH when they said Niang was not a go-to scorer on the team, but a go-to play maker. Sounds like he needs to watch the second half of the KU game in the Big 12 Tournament last year.
 
Complaining about referees in games that don't include absolute absurd calls (read: the vast majority) is basically the equivalent of stating to the room that you don't know a damn thing about sports.
 
Ya I didn't think it was too bad. All lot of the so called egregious calls could have gone both ways and weren't that obvious. Overall I was happy it was called fair for both sides even if they were bad calls for both sides.
 
On Hogue's fourth foul, the color guy was like "I'm not saying anything about that".

Also they kept talking about "Game over man! Game over!" when Niang went to the bench. Apparently they didn't do their homework and know that Nader is always ready to step up.
 
We should all be relieved they didn't call hogue for a foul on that last shot by newberry. Dustin grazed his hip and newberry flopped.

Very true. Luckily Newberry didn't learn his flop game from Smart. He was good at selling what wasn't even there. That flop by Newberry was pathetically bad.
 
The phantom travel on McKay was also a weird call. I re-watched that several times and couldn't figure out what the ref saw.
 
There were a handful of pretty bad calls against ISU and the Clones got away with a couple things. All in all it was not terrible. I have come to expect to get homered on a few calls every game. The grab on McKay looked a lot worse than it probably was. At first it looked like the guy was trying to rip his head off, but McKay didn't appear to be very mad about it, so it was probably not as bad as it first appeared. Life is tough on the road. Other teams don't like playing in Hilton for the same reasons. Just a good, tough win last night, now lets go do it again Saturday.
 
You do realize that two of the refs last night, Pat Adams and Mike Stuart, have done multiple Final Fours, right??

The game was called just fine.

There are no such things as big 12 refs for basketball. But the big XII does need to address how much they pay officials because they pay them the least of the P5 conferences.

I like how someone has to mention this after every game. We all know that there are "no Big XII refs for basketball" yet somehow the same guys end up working all the conference games. Funny how that works.
