I am not one to criticize officiating, but it seemed like the referees were not at their best. There were a lot of fouls that were bailout calls, it seemed like. That offensive basket interference was interesting, though.

They found a way to win, and it was fun to watch- for the most part. Go Bradley!

One thing we must realize it was a Sat night game with a lot of teams playing. We had the 9th and 10th place teams in the Valley playing each other. I can tell you for a fact we would not be getting any of the better crews in the Valley. That's just the way it works. The better officials get put of the toughest games no matter what level we're talking about. You just don't put good officials on poor games or visa versa on days when there are a lot of games.

Yeah, I guess most people besides us weren't really paying attention to a battle for the basement!
