It was equally bad both ways, which is why overall b-ball officiating is pretty much a joke.
The only instance where I thought it was particularly bad against K-State was when it appeared that Nino was going up for a lay-up and got hammered by Smart I believe and no call.
It also appeared that the "point of emphasis" stuff was pretty arbitrary yesterday.
What about late in the game when Wesley turned the ball over for stepping on the baseline? The replay on the video boards clearly showed two inches of space between Wesley's foot and the out of bounds line. That was a key "turnover" at an important point in the game.
What about when Forte was driving for a break away layup and one of our guys popped the ball free. The officials not only called a foul, they actually went to the monitors to see if there was anything intentional. Their review took a grand total of seven seconds because it clearly showed there was no foul at all, much less a hard/intentional foul.
There were numerous other examples of calls (that went both ways) that were blatantly BAD. Not just head scratchers or judgement calls that I thought should have gone the other way... they made calls that were just mind-bogglingly wrong. I was embarrassed for that crew. I have a feeling that they will receive a reprimand from the league for not just doing a poor job, but for literally making up calls. It won't be made public because those kinds of things never are unless they directly impact the outcome of games (see ISU/KU), but it will happen. I also imagine oscar and Ford will each put together some LENGTHY videos of blown calls and send them to the league office.

The officiating was horrendous. Fortunately it didn't cost us the game.
