The refs screwed us. If you say it after a loss it just sounds like sour grapes. They make it hard to watch the game and there is no flow to it. When there are six times in a game that a national broadcaster calls out the officials for making poor calls against one team and only once against the other team it is a problem. This wasn’t Demarco Farr calling a Rams game openly rooting for his team. Out of the 5 fouls on Tilmon 2 were for sure fouls, 1 was a maybe and the other two were complete phantom calls. There is no way the one was a flagrant 1. Then when USCe commits what should be a flagrant 1 instead they call a foul on Robertson. Even if you put aside the one sided nature of the calls these games often turn into they still need to just keep the whistle in their pockets and let some flow develop. One rule I would love to see changed is the charge/block call. To me you shouldn’t be able to just defend a spot in the floor and take a charge. You must be trying to defend the ball. There was a call on Barnett I believe but maybe KP when he wasn’t even going to the basket. He was dribbling to the free throw line and spun around a defender. The USCe player jumps out and plants his feet on the floor. He is not defending the basket, the ball ir the player. He is just defending a 3 foot circle of the floor. Stupid rule and basketball is the only sport that allows it. In soccer it is foul on the defense and in hockey it is nothing except you will likely end up on your ass. In football when a cb or a safety does it it is pass interference.

On a side note Man if we could have just grabbed a grad transfer point guard who could handle the ball without turning it over this could be a final four type team.
