Final score: Drake77 Bradley 68

[Da_Braves21]

The MVC website says the Refs are no different then Big 10 and other conferences but there is no way they are good enough to ref in those conference's.

We are down 4 and they have shot 30 fts to our 9!

Also I don't know who the broadcasters are, but do some homework and at least learn names. There was no Bol even in this game.

tough loss
hard to beat a team that the refs were constantly inventing ways to send to the FT line
...almost 40 FT attempts not to mention allowing unwhistled hammering on the other end

[Da Coach]

Refs managed to determine the outcome with a boatload of horrible calls.
Final score: Drake 77 Bradley 68

I asked one former official who had never heard of this, but has anyone ever seen a foul call reversed by looking at a video replay and given to the other team? I searched and cannot find that it is even part of the replay rule in NCAA, nor that it has ever happened. Those ridiculous flagrant fouls, and the 2 absurd technical fouls cost Bradley the game. Bradley played well (shot 47.5% and only 9 turnovers), and Drake not so well (shot 36.4%), but by being bailed out by those officials all game, they won it at the free throw line where Bradley couldn't defend. Drake 31-36 from FT line, Bradley 6-9!

It’s really frustrating to lose a game when you’re clearly the better team on the floor. If the refs were even semi-competent, we win this game.

I’m sick to my stomach after watching that. I haven’t seen that extreme of one sided officiating in a long time. I thought I was overreacting until they took the foul away from Murphy and in turn called a flagrant on Henry. Unbelievable!! 10-8 is still attainable! Shake this off fellas! It’s hard to win when it’s 8 on 5. Bradley is better than Drake! Hands down! Way to battle guys! The Valley should really take a look at this tape.

If it walks like a screw job, talks like a screw job, guess what. IT"s A SCREW JOB!

Could be another 4 way tie, this time for 5th after tomorrow's games since SIU is at Valpo and UNI is at Missouri State. And who knows maybe a 5 way tie if the Redbirds lose at ISU Blue.

[Dub]

This is not the first game this year where it seems like the refs are against us and calling touch fouls. We need to start wondering what they are seeing about us that they don’t like. Hats off to our guys and our coach for staying calm and professional... I think I’d have been ejected. Man I’m pissed.

totally agree - these refs did everything they could to hand this game to Drake. i want to face drake in arch madness.

Clearly, the Refs won this game for Drake. In over 50 years of watching, playing, and coaching, I cannot recall a game where the refs created so many free throws in such a short period of time. Shame on the bad officials in this game....I hope they do not ever have a chance again to work an MVC game.

Talk about a self tapping screw job....

Just finished reading how NBA Official fixed NBA games by calling more fouls on one team than the other. He, and the mob, made millions betting on games he officiated.

Either these officials should be banned to calling Catholic Grade School games the rest of their careers, or, they should be investigated. Follow the money.

Embarrassment for MVC.

[Classof77]

I certainly hope the League reviews this game. Those officials should never work another Valley game.

Good job on the Refs for handing this game to Drake, bad calls usually even out but they really seemed to be against Bradley. You could tell Wardle was really upset with refs in the second half. Anyone see why he got a Technical?
