Nothing you can count on more than CBers whining about refs after a bball game

19 FTs to 0 in the first half was a concern

And we need AB to show us on a doll where he was touched. They molested the man

Many foul types called on USF in 2nd half were not called in 1st half.

Tell me you didn't watch the game without telling me you didn't watch the game.

As TNT would say - "un-correct"

2 things can be true. Fans will always complain about the refs, and the refs last night were especially worse than usual

cougXor

Agreed on both accounts 👍

Also ... the refs are right more often then the fans yelling at them.

Refs make lots of bad calls, even at the highest level of sports it unavoidable.

Will do, thanks for the thought!

Last nights reffing was exceptionally bad and one sided for most of the game.

TunaNoCrust

No, this happens every single game. That's the whole issue

There are always going to be folks complaining. I complained after SMC but

Mostly fans venting….not expecting them to be reasonable.

Major part of a game. It dictates a lot of playing style.
