I'm Just Glad The Entire World Is Watching The Bullshit Us College Basketball Fans Deal With All Year
Somehow I don't even think this was the most egregious call that these dickheads called all game. A flagrant? Sure. Flagrant 1 though, you don't kick out Brady Manek. But let's not act like this was an anti-UNC game from the refs. UNC was shooting free throws in the bonus less than 5 minutes into the second half. The fact is this is the bullshit us college basketball fans deal with all year. Welcome. It's miserable. I complain about refs a lot because they do things like this. Now, sure, this is the arguably the worst officiated game I've ever seen. When you can just start easily naming butchered calls that were not that difficult, you should probably never let these guys ref a Tournament game the rest of the way.
As for UNC? You can't blow a 25-point lead. Yeah, you should have Manek. But it's a 25 point game. Maybe practice inbounding the ball? That was a major problem. Maybe have some sort of poise on the offensive side of the ball. Maybe some free throws.
All I know is this is the shit that all us college basketball fans yell about. It shouldn't be this difficult to ref a game. Plain and simple, the refs became the story of this game. Not a potential 8 over a 1. Not the potential greatest comeback in Tournament history. The fact that Brady Manek got ejected, all the missed calls and people freaking out about how this is going to ruin a game going forward.
I'm sure overtime will go swimmingly.
