Texas Tech vs Villanova
-
Tech led 9-1 and there were 3 fouls against Nova. Ever since then, the foul count has been 12-4 and of course Tech’s lead disappeared in a hurry. There are a lot more TV watching eyeballs in Philadelphia than Lubbock Texas is the lesson learned here. We have a lot more pull nationally than TTech so I think they’ll get a fairer shake than Tech is getting.

@wissox I honestly wonder if that doesn’t make a difference sometimes but heck UK and UNC are already out and they have some big followings.

wissox l hope you’re right. But eyeball count didn’t seem to have much influence in the '86 Duke game.
-
@Gunman I think you misunderstood me. Sure, KU doesn’t get a lot of eyeballs locally, but being a blueblood people do watch KU play and they do receive better officiated games than others. We’ve beaten Duke the last two or three times we’ve played them in the tourney which means we either overcame east coast biased refs or there wasn’t any.
-
@kjayhawks I think the refs did a lot to ensure Kentucky stayed in that game against KState!
-
Evans has got to start hitting, 1/8
-
Tech had missed so many bunnies, I think about 5 layups the last few minutes and may have blew there chance to comeback.
-
@wissox Why watch if you believe it is fixed? I watched that same sequence and saw T Tech stop playing the way they started. They began making stupid fouls, dribbling blindly, and shooting bad shots. But my eyeballs must have relocated to Philly.
-
Down to 5
-
He was fouled
-
Paschall fouling inside everytime.
-
TT gotta hit FTs
-
haha…touch Brunson and it’s a foul
-
Vincenza hanging all over the rim unnecessarily…should be a T
-
If Tech could rebound the ball they’d be up bye atleast 5

If they block out Nova climbing backs

Lots of over the backs not being called. TT seems to have forgotten how to box out. So many O rebs for V.
-
…down by 5, not bad
-
fortunately nova missing FTs too
-
6 offensive rebs by Paschall. I have thought a lot of his rebounds were highly offensive!
-
Phantom foul.
-
Wow they just gave the ball to nova when they didn’t even have possession to call it out on one or the other
-
No foul call
-

We are familiar with those against villanova
-
Wow refs
-
Moretti Player One?
-
We all know B12 screwed if they don’t bring it
-
Even if they called it a jump ball it would have been nova ball on change of possession. It just looked like a bad call
-
So who called the timeout?
-
Thought coaches couldn’t call live ball time outs
-
He put the ball on the ground picked it up and dribbled. Isn’t that a double dribble?

Not with nova
-
Lol if this is the refs we have to look forward to
-
What’s the chances doke has 2 before the under 16
-
@BeddieKU23 Little because he’ll be on the bench with the first lol
-
@BeddieKU23 As long as the first one is from him breaking Bagley in two, and the second one puts Carter in a sling, we’ll be okay.

I’d hope they play it smart. Doke needs to play the best game of his life
-
The refs have really done a number on the Big 12 teams.
-
It’s just the lack of consistency that kills me.
Nova is the better team but has been bailed out badly
-
@BeddieKU23 Smart money says will need Mitch and or Silvio to be good if not great aswell
-
Not a horribly reffed game. Techs problem was that they couldn’t score at all inside. Nova forced them to shoot jumpers and they couldn’t hit them.

Silvio will be important, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Mitch as ineffective as he was yesterday. He can’t match up with Bagley
-
Think we’ll play some zone?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 yep!
-
I don’t see how we zone without being forced into it by fouls

Inconsistent it was, but tech didn’t make enough plays or rebound enough. Usually how we lose…
-
@mayjay You caught me! I was in a restaurant with my folks, a rare treat, and two of my kids plus a brother, so the TV in the corner gave me no perspective on what was actually happening. I just saw the foul count suddenly change with the score. That’s the only part of the game I saw. BTW, others apparently were watching on this thread and didn’t like the officiating either.
I will watch because as I acknowledged KU has received fairer treatment from officials against Duke, 1986 and the end of Maui notwithstanding!
-
@wissox I didn’t like the officiating much, especially with the amount of inside contact allowed. But TT played worse than the refs reffed. I just think if there was a change in how the fouls were going that the refs really don’t give a crap about TBS’s ratings in the F4! And if I thought the reffing was the result of manipulation I never would watch.
-
@Kcmatt7 How many times did a TT guy turn down an open 3 receiving a pass, and then dribble up and shoot a contested 2 with no one even trying to get the rebound? Even those shots with 1 minute left, no one but no one was crashing the boards. They looked like a freshman team in the first scrimmage.
-
@BeddieKU23 I don’t either- -the real thing that scares me the most is the match ups on their 2 big’s -we play Doke on Carter just pray he doesn’t get in quick foul trouble - -do we play the 2 big’s at times? -Doke & De-Sousa?
