Those refs...

[thefish7]

Waiting for the stats on the game, but I feel like there were like 15 or 20 fouls called in the first half and it was pretty well called. Then the second half kicked off and I feel like there were 35-45 fouls called, and stepping on the ground got you called for illegal abuse of wood products. Was an amazing change and a hard game to watch in a way. They were very consistent inside of each half, but it was two completely different games in each half. After the first half, I was thinking that maybe we'd have a two-game well-called-by-refs streak going. Not so much.

they should keep them separated at the half.......

Hehe the refs? So like, ref 1 you stand in the north end of the building... Ref 2, you're down south.

I agree with this post. It seemed they let the guys play the 1st 1/2 and the 2nd on they wanted their imprint and started to call the game like typical MVC refs. What gives? Do they get paid by the foul or did someone from the MVC commissioner office call them at 1/2 to complain that there was not enough fouls called?

Yes, but not one moving screen called on either team today!

Braveman and I went to the game together. At the 15 min mark it was 5-0 in team fouls against BU...I said watch it will be tied or Evansville will be ahead by the 10 min. mark....I think it was 9-7 in BU's favor by the 10 min. mark! Just predictable! and ridiculous!

that was a bad call but I'm sure Evansville fans thought they gor homered overall with us shooting 30some ft's.....it really disrupted the flow of the game

How about the foul called on Dunson when he wasn't even near the play. Shoulda been on EM.

I wasn't at the game, but I wonder if the officials may have been influenced from conversations with the coaching staffs of both teams during halftime... Just a thought.... It happens from time to time...

I thought that we got a big break on a blocking call when SamM drove to the basket late in the game... It looked like a charge to me.....

I thought it looked like it mighta been a charge to me as well... from my angle... but I didn't see a replay in slow-motion. (Amazing how often I can change my mind after I see a replay ) Then I thought of the charge called on Theron earlier when he jumped diagonally away from a player that fell ...

Theron's call was a joke on replay and SM did get lucky but it really should have been a no call because the kid did flop. There was not much contact on that play. The TW call though was just a typical MVC ref call. Let the person get the call when they are directly under the basket???

Theron got called on a ridiculous over the back call when he basically outjumped 2 or 3 purple aces for the ball - it was a scrum & he truly had no advantage on that play other than the fact that he could leap.
