I've reviewed the first game, neither team got jobbed in the first game. The out of bounds call was poor. Besides that, it was evenly bad. There were charges that should've been blocks and vice versa. Blaming the refs for the loss at Halton Arena is just asinine(sp?).
Now, not that it would've changed the outcome, the refs totally were Memphis biased last night. Notice how I said it
did not change the outcome. I'm not saying the refs are cheaters like some of you would, but it had to be in the back of their minds that Memphis advancing in the tournament is good for the conference. Also, a fairly called game means that Cal is all over the presses just bitching and whining and sending tapes to the conference office. Its a good strategy to intimidate the officials, but can often backfire.
Below are some examples of poor calls:
1st half. The score at the buzzer should not count. The only time a basket counts during a charge is if the ball goes through the cylinder before the contact happens.
Also those two carrying calls were some home cooking. Refs could call carrying on every single dribble.
Plavich was knocked to the ground during two consecutive 3 point attempts. No call.
Two charging calls in a row on the 9ers during Memphis' 2nd half run, where the defender was no where near being set. Also during the same run, a Memphis defender grabbed a rebound and stepped out of bounds--no call. On the ensuing Memphis possession, an obvious travelling call was missed a couple seconds before contact sent a Tigger to the line.
The refs called the game pretty well during the 1st half. During the second half, it was the third worst stretch of college officiating I've ever seen. The refs straightened up after the tech.
Message for the mods: Funny how you let Tiger supporters talk smack in the regular forum, but not any visitors. 9er fans were banned for having screen names like "7BT." Funny how you let phototiger still post in the regular forum after he published the address of an official. What is also sophmoric is the changing of phrases like Charlotte and Crap on Ole Piss.
These are my opinions. I am obviously 9er biased, so you guys will read this and think I'm crazy. The vast majority of posters on this board seem to be swell people, and
I wish all of you good health and prosperity--even the Aholes. However, I will always cheer for whichever team the Tigers are playing against, and will never be convinced that Calapari or Hunt are decent human beings.
