still haven't
they finally posted the minutes in the box score
14 minutes, he was by far the best player on the court (tonight) in those 14 minutes
lol what? Clearly was fixed. Fixed doesn't necessarily mean they wanted one team to win, but to manipulate it to ENSURE a closer finish is what happened.
Not only was there 12 fouls called in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half to make sure they could put Zaga or UNC at the line at ANY time if a team took more than a 5-6 pt lead. But, the first 13 fouls called was 7/6. How is it that each team fouls so equally? That is manipulation. Not sure of the reasons or if there is a small school theory or what. Butler lost twice. But, I do know that that game was 100% manipulated by the refs. It is so so so so difficult to do what those refs just did. To have to call the game with that mindset. That is why these refs all suck because they know in the back of their mind....ratings ratings. And these are college refs. Not good enough for the pros. The pro nba refs are literally a million times better just like NFL/college football. The difference is monumental, so to be given that responsibility that the NBA has....is very very hard. To be real about it. Most people hate hearing the term fixed so I get that.
That wasn't a foul either, sorry. And, if they broke down and called it one, it damn sure wasn't anywhere near a flagrant.

Pathetic
Wow, where do I start:
- Collins has been great, refs took him out of the game. I was waiting on a replay on #5 to see how much of a bullshit call it was. Never showed one. Really? The best player on the court, saddled with foul trouble all game, and you don't show the play that ends his night??
- Meeks clearly OB, right in front of the ref. No call.
- Great point by Mob regarding fouls and putting whoever they want at the line.
- Flagrant foul? Ridiculous.
I could go on, but everyone here has rehashed all of the lunacy.
Last thing......these pricks get a real hard on when they get to walk over to the announcers desk and explain the flagrant foul calls. These assholes know damn well they are on tv, and give it the full treatment. They take all fucking day to explain, complete with hand gestures, as the announcing crew stares and nods.
Mob is 1000% right, the talent level is light years behind pro refs. I would take the worst NBA referees, pay them, and have them do the Final 4. Those clowns really jacked up that game last night.
