See if Oklahoma would have won these guys would be at the phog crying. Now they are here gloating. John Higgins is a KU employee.

HILIARIOUS to me for people to say that KU has the refs in their back pocket.

In high profile games in recent years it seems like the refs ALWAYS have the other team shooting like 6 TIMES the number of FTs and suddenly ONE CALL won't go that team's way - AND THEY"LL STILL CRY and WHINE - "oh, KU gets all the calls"....doesn't matter if it's OU at home who had 15-1 FTAs in the first half & 22-6 by the end of the game or Iowa State - NOTORIOUS for getting away with so many fouls inside at Hilton, it's ridiculous!!! They'll be up 29 Fouls - 2 and yet STILL have the audacity to complain!

The truth of the matter is KU had a few calls that perhaps went their way in the overtime, OU had far more that quite honestly were more flat out obviously wrong & resulted in 5 point swings - not the difference of just a possession.

By the end of the game, all things considered the bad reffing had more or less evened itself out.
 
You mean the over the back?

Mason has consistently played hack and slap ball his entire career. He's been hanging with Pitino. Kansas spent 5 trips in a row goig to the line in 3rd OT. Stop.

***AGAIN - HILARIOUS!!!! AT LEAST TWO OF THOSE FIVE were forced on OU with the time left and situation they were in. Geesh!!

You are engaging in extreme hyperbole dude. "Always shooting 6 times more FTs than KU". Yeah, ok.
 
OU got cheated, no surprise.

***Yeah, 'cause it would've been SOOOOOO much better if it just ended in regulation with OU w/ a 22-6 FTA edge, Latting scraping Mason's face off w/ no foul called and then winning it for OU at the line.....yeah, that would've played well and wouldn't've felt like KU getting cheated. He makes that FT and that's EXACTLY what would've happened.

***Sorry, but if you had to deal with the Iowa State extremists of recent years, your blood would be boiling too.

They always and I mean ALWAYS make that claim - "KU ALWAYS gets the calls", "They LEAD the nation, or at least the conference in FTAs", "Or they at least lead in FTAs at home", etc, etc.

Yet, you go and show them facts such as KU was toward the bottom 3 in both of those categories in the conference and they ignore the facts.
 

****Ok, if that 3 foot rule, is an actual rule, I agree with others - I really don't think that's a rule or a teammate could ALWAYS get in front of the defender for them to just hand it off to!!!

And on that replay, many of you claimed that Mason hacked Hield and it was pretty frickin' obvious that he did NOT!!!!
 
I see Kansas fans have finally surfaced after that thrashing they got last year. Untie that noose from around your necks, did yah?
 
I like Texas Tech's chances even more now to beat KU Saturday. TT will lose at Iowa State Wednesday and come back and beat an overconfident KU imo.

***I think KU will beat Texas Tech for one main reason........bench players will get more run and be anxious to prove that they should get mins.

Having said that I FULL EXPECT a KU loss to WVU in Morgantown....They've lost there like 2 of the last 3 or even 3 of the last 4 years.

He didn't. But he did step out of bounds and was the first to touch the ball. Should have stayed with OU.
 
I'm starting to wonder why anyone would ever want to be a ref. Nobody is ever happy with the job you do, everyone blames you for their loss and in some cases, a close win.
I don't see how anyone can say tonight's refs sucked. They let both teams play. I saw Mason reach in and foul Buddy Heild 3 times with no call, finally the ref had to blow his whistle the fourth time. Then of course Mason goes stomping off. Look, you are not allowed to put your hands on the offensive player. He not only put his hands on him but he pushed him all 4 times. Learn how to guard.

***O.k., so no questionable NON-Calls on OU?!?!?! Lattin with the scrape across Mason's face on his last drive in regulation? Lattin basically raping Selden on his breakaway dunk? Woodard with the elbow on the blow-by to Graham's jaw?

I mean, I'm sorry, but these are OBVIOUS calls to make there wherein the refs ALSO swallowed their whistles for OU.

No intentional offense but are you related to Tickle Me Elmo? (Those who frequent this board will know who that is.) You seem to be using the scatter or shot gun blast post affect...

Haha. The tinfoil is strong with this one. Kentucky always gets screwed, the conspiracy is everlasting, and Cal has never done anything wrong in the vacation of two final fours all while lining his pockets.
1. Are you actually acting like the KU home boards don't have a ref complaint thread (or five) after every single loss?

2. What kind of silly insult is the derogatory use of "lining his pockets"? Because Self works pro bono? Aww gee, poor Bill, he's only the 4th highest paid coach in the country making money off of amateurs (a system that Cal is by far the loudest in protesting against - fighting for stipends and insurance for kids at every school, non stop bashing the NCAA in public over it).

3. Since you're firing all guns a blazing, then you should feel bold enough to give us a quick synopsis on a reasonable scenario where the risk would be worth the reward for Cal to be involved with Marcus Camby hooking up with an agent as a junior.

Do that successfully and I will throw out all my UK gear and start chanting Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk.

I'll wait. Until the day you die.

In the meantime, it was probably the greatest game of the year, you got your win. No one here, or anywhere else, is going to believe you got robbed in any way. The biggest part of the game that'c circulating? Mason trying to grab Hields junk on the inbounds. Cry elsewhere.
 
The 3 feet rule is an unwritten rule. The refs tell the defender so he doesn't get too close to stepping over the OOBs line. The only 3 feet mentioned on inbounding rules in the rule book is the inbounder has a 3 foot radius he must stay in when inbounding.

Still Mason should have received a warning for stepping on the OOBs line. Refs missed that but they missed a lot of calls both ways.

Also KU's FTs in OT the only call that I thought was questionable was the call on Woodard where he knocked the ball away from Lucas. Thought that was close and would have been fine if there was a no call. At first thought I thought Woodard's 5th foul wasn't a foul but replay showed he jumped into Graham and the foul call was correct.

**LMAO - the ONLY time he crosses the line is JUST after his last jump when he actually deflected the ball!!! I would think that it would be allowed then.

And I'm missing these phantom slapping of the ball or even touching Buddy whatsoever that you all are seeing - at least on this particular play anyway.
 
Regarding Mason guarding the out of bounds...yes the refs should've moved him back. He even acknowledged in the post game that he stepped up and basically dared the refs to call it. It was a ballsy gamble and it paid off.

Go back to the end of the first half and OU got 3 points they shouldn't have gotten on the clean Mason steal and subsequent Self tech. I don't have an issue with how the refs called either one, because frankly that's just the sport. There will be dozens of plays in any basketball game that could be scrutinized and perhaps overturned if a person was so inclined. It's just how it is, and you can't ever single out one missed call as the one that cost it.

Doesn't really take away from a great game in my opinion, just gives us fans more to argue about.

***THANK YOU!!!! Kind of how I feel.....things pretty much will tend to even themselves out and I think that by the end of that game it would've been hard for either team to have blamed the refs......now if it ended at the end of regulation w/ a Lattin-made FT on the other hand? That might've been a different story...Lattin gets to scrape Mason on the face on his drive, but then gets the opportunity to win it on an over the back w/ 2 secs. left?! THAT I would've had more of a problem with if that was how it summarily wrapped up.
 
He didn't. But he did step out of bounds and was the first to touch the ball. Should have stayed with OU.

I think I FINALLY understand what you're saying....you're saying he can't have gone out of bounds and then come back in and obtain possession without someone else first at least touching the ball, correct?

If that's what you're saying, then I get it and agree with you...wouldn't that just have given OU the ball back out of bounds again though?
 
Then again I suppose one could say the Big 12 is just top heavy. Really good teams in KU and Oklahoma, good teams in Iowa St and WVU and then the rest.

**Eh, most of the rest are pretty good too......just two definite very bad teams this year in OSU & TCU. OSU would've been better had they not lost P. Forte for the year.

No, they couldn't say that. The Big 12 has been better in the computer ratings for ages. Including Sagarin's all-time ranking. It's not a blip, it's not a short term trend, and it's not debateable numerically.


Last year, the Big 12 was +5 better on average than the SEC per Sagarin. (Which correlates 95% to Vegas lines, so we know it's a good proxy). But when you took out Kentucky, that jumped to +7.


Since Kentucky cannot play itself, we can therefore conclude mathematically that your conf slate last year was on average 7 points worse per game. That is not conjecture. That is math.

I'd agree that the Big 12 is better than the SEC by a fair margin. But I also wouldn't take too much from that when debating UK vs KU themselves because, well.. we've had plenty of opportunities to do a more direct comparison, and UK has acquitted themselves fairly well, to say the least.

Did you know in the current Sagarin rankings Louisville is ranked 5th and Kentucky is ranked 17th? That is not conjecture, that is math.

I'm not debating Big 12 vs SEC with that. I was commenting moreso Big 12 vs other conferences. I think everyone knows the SEC has been weak for some time now.
 
In the last 8 years, the American Conference has as many as the entire SEC.

This is you with stats
