Cheating again tonight

Their big guy was a bull in a China shop all night and they kept calling the fouls on us. The push off on Almonor when he made the layup was a ridiculous foul called on us.

Wasn't bad at all. If anything we got away with a couple calls to. I just want them to play basketball and keep momentum for a few possessions. Whistles shouldn't be blown this much.

You can add the foul on Perry when Matthews threw him to the floor on the rebound, and Perry had the foul called on him.


Actually, Perry was amazing... get thrown to the floor not once but TWICE and get the foul called against you. Cherry on top was the offensive hook by Hubbard being given and AND-1 when he even took an extra dribble. So, not only was the foul NOT on Perry, even if it had been, there is ZERO reason he should've been given the basket.
 
Tonight was overall the best officiated SEC road game I’ve seen in some time. Refs (as always) missed a few both ways, but they didn’t control or take over the whole game like Tuesday night. We actually GOT some calls go our way tonight. Butler had an over and back that was missed, the foul on the rebound against Williams they reviewed for a flagrant wasn’t even a foul on State plus another foul on State in the 1st half on somebody was a jump ball…..
Sometimes peoples blue tinted glasses just skew everything.
Game had a great flow and energy all night - refs never “took over”

I said in a thread earlier this week, I wish the whistles would get blown 100x more if that would cause teams to stop trying to play rugby on the court. There is NO DOUBT many coaches implement the strategy of constant fouling b/c they know the officials won't call them all.

Officials should call the fouls. IF those coaches don't like it, coach their teams to play the game properly.
 
Tonight’s officiating is more akin to what I’d expect home court advantage TO be
Yes they had some things their way.
Against UGA I felt like we got screwed out of the gate
Tonight …no. Credit to Miss State for a great game

The Butler "over and back" was actually the correct call. The announcer made the comment live that Butler never fully crossed mid-court, and I re-watched it. He was right. Butler's back foot never came into the front court, so he was still in the back court... therefore, no over and back. Was it lucky? Yes, b/c Butler probably thought he was a step or more further in the back court. But, it was the right call.

The foul reviewed against Williams was also the right call. The MSU player did hit the ball clean up top, but he landed on Williams like a bull, which is still a foul b/c you cannot jump through the opponent even if you hit the ball cleanly.
