Officiating

[wabash909]

There were 52 fouls called in that game. I probably could have called 102 fouls. You can't call them all, and I understand that. They were allowed to play to their strength as a team, and I give them credit. They deserved to win the game. That's a tough game for us to play.

Welcome to the junkyard, Travis.

ksu thread.

other than the Gipson T. they really didnt screw us, imo.

It's not about screwing KSU dumbass, it's about poor officiating.  The technical fouls, quick whistles and slow whistles at different times of the game, and overall lack of consistency or accuracy of calls.

Hey!  I know you.  You post identical rants on the phog.

[deputy dawg]

You have got to give K-State credit. You're looking at two teams, and one was allowed to play to their strength. We did not, and that's the result of any game. They like to offensive rebound, and they get 23 of them. They like to play physical, and they get 40 free throws."

"Our defense has been very good. I'm proud of our defense. Our defense has been stingy and fairly tough. When the game is going to be played like that, our team is going to struggle. That felt like a football game more than a basketball game. It kind of snowballed. I could never get a feel of what was going to be called. There were 52 fouls called in that game.

So what is Okie State's "strengths"?

[wabash909]

Their strengths appear to consist of Keiton Page running around and shooting the ball a lot.

And having a really badass locker room.

FLASHBACK to 2010

After Kelly's two free throws made it 70-69, he was called for a foul during a struggle for a loose ball on the other end and Roger Franklin made one of two foul shots. Chris Merriewether was called for a foul under the Kansas State basket and Sidorakis went to the line for Oklahoma State.
Technical fouls were called against Kansas State's Denis Clemente, Oklahoma State's Matt Pilgrim and Martin.

Ostate hit six free throws to hold off our rally. So, congrats Travis Ford, your team was allowed to "play to its strengths" that day.

a bit of SLTH stink on that quote

He better pick up the SLTH playbook and commit it to memory stat. He'll be lucky to survive this season the way things are going.

Wish on your lucky star that this happens... we might be first in line for Marcus Smart if he realizes Okie States crappy at basketball these days.

Define "all those years" and I'll explain why you're a dumbass.

[Big Sam]

Watch the officiating in the KU-UT game. It's horrible and Longhorn fans simply don't care. Just keeps getting worse.

Out of defense of the UT crowd I must note the following reasons they aren't booing the refs/into the game:
1) Ton of old people in crowd who buy tickets but don't know anything about basketball and its rules.  Questionable they can even tell the difference between players and cheer squad.
2) Bunch of young people using parents' money to go to game, but are stoned out of gourd and now aren't sure where they are at.
3) Whole crowd waiting to see if they can spot a football player or coach at the game.
4) Heard there were going to be free double mocha half skim lattes given out during the game and are busy trying to retrieve their drink.
5) Don't care about the game - are there to say they went just in case UT wins so they can talk about how awesome it was.
6) Are discussing which bar/club going to after the game to eat/drink/get stoned.
7) Taking a nap and the "Drum" is a nice quiet place to do so.

When you've had cunty thoughts for that long you don't just snap your finger and have the "little man" syndrome leave your brain.  it'll take 'em a year or two to get their sealegs, they have a lifetime of being a member of the Big 8,12,10,9,11 so that loser mindset is seeded perty deep.    

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

This just seems like the Big 12 officiating I've always seen.

it seems worse to me, but maybe i'm just growing less tolerant.

100% agree on the getting worse part.  Actually care less and am more tolerant, but some of the calls over the last two games have just been lol terrible.  Our game was bad and the KU-UT game was worse.  If I was a UT fan, I'd be flipping crap, that game reminded me of that scene from Hoosiers where they get "home towned".

I know there are no "Big 12 refs" or "Big 10 refs" or whatev, but watching ACC, Big East and Big 10 games, the officiating never seems to be anywhere near as awful.
