The most physical game Tad has seen, and only 2 players get fouled? In an OT game?
ASU wanted a brawl, and they found the refs willing to let it slide. Disgusting.

It's only a foul if you get knocked out... ermmm... nevermind.
Well, DBT did warn us that there'd be unexpected consequences if Colorado legalized pot.
And now our prophet is banned. That was unexpected.
He played well Thursday too. I think he just saves it up each year for the stretch run. Scott could easily miss a game after being concussed. We’re going to need Tunks.

I've avoided coming to this site the last 20 hours or so, but to see so many people blame the refs for this loss is borderline pathetic. Too many mental mistakes (Dre), bad matchups when Josh got knocked out, and there you have it. I love me some Spence and XJ, but the rest of our team just doesn't know what they're doing when push comes to shove at this point.
We're young, and this sort of thing can be chalked up to "growing pains," hopefully, but to push this onto the refs (again) is silly. Yes, we all know the pac 12 refs suck. So are we saying they're responsible for yet another loss? There were COUNTLESS times we could've put ASU away throughout the game, but for one reason or another (inexplicably leaving a 3-point shooter wide open, forgetting to box out, etc) we let them stay close. ASU did what we didn't against Arizona and came to play in the extra frame even though they easily could've packed it in.
Perhaps the most frustrating thing of all of this isn't the mistakes by our freshmen and sophomores, but the play of Dre these past few games. I used to love his hustle and intensity, but now I routinely see him making silly plays. For example, not only will he turn the ball over, but he'll foul the opponent out of frustration immediately after. Or he'll think he was fouled and STOP PLAYING once the ball goes the other way, and his man is wide open under the hoop because he simply decided to not get back on D. I love the guy and his athletic prowess, and that's probably the reason I am so frustrated with him these past two games. Hope he can snap out of it and play like we all know he's capable of.
Oh, and I need to give props to Tunks. The last two games, in his limited minutes, he's at least played with a stronger sense of confidence. If he can improve even just a bit, this helps our team immensely, especially if Josh Scott is out for a game or two...

Nobody is blaming the refs for the loss so that is a reading comprehension issue. They are blaming the refs for losing control of the game, making it dangerous for the players, and letting it deteriorate into a street brawl instead of a basketball game.

The entire game was altered when their center was allowed to knock our center out of the game with 0 repercussions. That's not chalked up to "growing pains". There's a reason why everyone was pointing out the officiating was atrocious, fans here and at the game, the coach, the announcers, because it actually was that bad.
Yep.
At the end of the night, they get one stop and they win. Should have gotten a stop. That's the calling card of a Boyle team and they didn't get it done. Team showed a lot of grit, but it's a bottom line business.
However, this type of officiating is a real problem for the game of basketball. The Pac-12 needs to fix this. The type of play that was rewarded last night is not what we want to see become college basketball. It's ugly to watch and it's needlessly dangerous to play.

Well, you guys can call it what you will, it looks like pissing and moaning. do you notice how there's not one thread about substantive problems with our team? Any post-game comments here on this board are related to how our poor poor Buffs got dragged into a "street brawl" and we couldn't handle it.
Newsflash: we're in the pac-12. we're here for the long-term future. We need to figure out how to deal with the occasional ****** ref. not throw a pity party and so on.
