My gripe is KU's home games. I usually expect the home team to get a couple of favorable calls over the course of the game - just seems to be how it is at most places, especially for the "good" teams. My perception is that we get screwed on calls more often than not at our home games. Just my blue-tinted perception . . .

Xavier Henry gets slapped so hard on the arm you literally hear it on TV, and the refs call the ball out of bounds off of his leg.

I really don't see the blatant homerism in Allen Fieldhouse that some might expect.

KU is just good. They win at home. They win on the road. Yeah, they get some calls, but so do the opposing teams.
