MBB Final: Louisiana 61, Wyoming 70

[Cajunfanatico]

I remember that game. I believe the guy guarding Bo was supposed to be a hotshot defensive player, guy named Jim Price. I believe Bo still had 30+ points. Was that the game with the bogus backcourt call too?

"But Louisville, in Denny Crum’s first season as the Cardinals’ head coach, handed the Cajuns an 88-84 setback thanks to splendid defense by Jim Price. He held Lamar to 14 field goals in 42 attempts."

"Held" being the operative word.

John Wooten, whose team included a guy named Bill Walton, when asked by a reporter about the tournament field, said that one team he did not care to face was the Ragin Cajuns. He didn't clarify why.

OT: UTA leading #25 Alabama at Alabama at halftime 47-41. If UTA hangs on and wins this one, it'll certainly help their RPI down the stretch. They sit at #2 right now!

Another example. UL down 2 vs Tennessee in NCAA tournament. Bret Smith makes a clean steal from Tennessee All American. Zebra blows a whistle. All American sinks two free throws with less than a minute in the game. Tennessee wins. Multiple views show he was never in two feet of hands of Tennessee player. Zebra didn’t see what his lying eyes saw. Call it cheating, call it subliminal. Happens all the time.

I saw that game at the old Damons sports bar and everyone swears it was a phantom foul. Never Forget it!

Point Pride, it happens all the time.

Coach Marlin mad..

"Give me a timeout after that terrible call" said Coach Marlin and that's the reason he got his first technical foul. Also added, "if he's that sensitive about it, I don't want him officiating my games." (Reference to referee that gave him T)#ragincajuns #CaymenClassic

I'm at the tournament, and it was obvious early on in the game that this particular ref was out to get Marlin. Coach questioned this guy about whether he called a foul on the right player, and this dude screamed back at him, "I was looking right at 3". Felt very unprofessional on the ref's end.

I literally went into ape mode when that happened. WORST FLAGRANT OFFICIAL CHEATING EVER!

Alabama 77, UTA 76.

FTAs. UTA 4-7....Tide 15-24. UTA must of dropped the soap because they got jobbed.

While reading through this thread, that was the play playing over and over in my head. I don't believe all of these refs are intentionally helping a big conference team not lose, but they definitely seem to be biased. Maybe in some instances it's unconscience?
