Louisiana vs Houston

[seehard]

There is absolutely no reason 3 players on one team should foul out in a college basketball game. There have been some UNBELIEVABLY ticky-tack calls made in favor of the home team. The Cajuns may not deserve to win this one, but I'm not so sure they deserve to lose like this. Terrible officiating.

Defense seem to disappear in the 2nd half.

Wow, 78-65 with 18 seconds to go. Cajuns had a 13 point lead in the 2nd half. It was fun for a while. This Cajun team is not all that exciting, but they play hard. It wasn't nearly enough in the end tonight.

The officiating had almost everything to do with that.

Yes .. Marlin called Bustle for advice ...

Worst officiating. They must of went in at half and said hey fellasnthe wrong team is winning. It was pathetic. The calls under the basket never happened on our end. LaRyan caught an obvious elbow and no on saw ir. Then on every rebound they were pushing in the back or under cutting. This was rediculeous.

Yeah, the Houston coaches realized that the officials were calling EVERYTHING against the Cajuns and took advantage of it.

No doubt. I wonder how many fouls we had in the 1st half vs the 2nd half. We did turn the ball over probably double the amount we did in the 1st.

Final Houston 78 Lousiana 65 _

Houston shot free throws well and that is one reason they won the game. The foul trouble did prevent the Cajuns from playing defense in the 2nd half like they did the first half. Offensively, going ice cold in the last few minutes spelled doom. I won't say anything about the refs than you guys have said. However, that is not why they lost. They lost becasue of turnovers at critical times and lost of poise on offense in the late going.
