After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
We should stick with neutral court games, so we don't need to worry about BS refs handing games to our opponents.
I was there at the UC Davis game, and it was a joke.

Re: After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
I didn't think they were bad. Aside from that poor ref getting his world rocked by Brito, not too much I would complain about. And even with that, they were nice in giving the possession back to us when maybe that wasn't the correct call.

I thought until midway through the 2nd half it was unbalanced.

How dare the referees not step out and guard that sharp shooting Ford kid. They just left him wide open down the stretch. Stupid refs!

Re: After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
Tass should have fouled early in the 2nd half. He fouled every time he contested a shot. That would have changed the game and rebounding battle. Also Beans early fouls were crap. Middle of the 2nd and fouls started to be called better.

Re: After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
Bean's 2nd and 3rd fouls were a joke with how the game was being called and without him we were a totally different team in the first half. I think we could've built a lead at halftime with him. They were killing us on the boards with Dorius and Anderson in there.

Re: After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
It was clear that it was the plan that Tass to foul on every play, and the refs were afraid that Bean would beat St. Mary's in the 1st half.scotlandog wrote: ↑November 29th, 2019, 11:53 pmTass should have fouled early in the 2nd half.

Re: After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
I agree but we were up 4 with 4 minutes left. We put ourselves in a great position to win and blew it.hipsterdoofus21 wrote: ↑November 29th, 2019, 11:53 pmBean's 2nd and 3rd fouls were a joke with how the game was being called and without him we were a totally different team in the first half.

It’s too bad this game was played in a hs game. Can you imagine this in the spectrum.

When they were aggressive it was a foul when we were it usually wasn't. Home team always gets 5-6 calls they shouldn't.Real Life Aggie wrote:I didn't think they were bad.

Re: After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
Nahhh. They had some really nice, clean blocks. We got pieces of them on our blocks. They didn't call some soft stuff when we would run in to the rim, looking for fouls. I agree that the 3rd foul on Bean wasn't the best. But, nothing egregious.UtahStizzle wrote: ↑November 30th, 2019, 12:05 amWhen they were aggressive it was a foul when we were it usually wasn't.

Re: After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
But we expended so much energy to get to that point that we had nothing left for the stretch run. Merrill couldn't do anything in the final 5 minutes.Winning Team wrote: ↑November 29th, 2019, 11:56 pmI agree but we were up 4 with 4 minutes left.

Re: After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
We just went ice cold and couldn't get stops for the final 3 minutes. Refs had very little to do with it.

Re: After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
Well to be fair, the refs really stepped up their game when they stepped out to guard Brito on an open layup. The least they could have done was blocked a three for us.pablohoney wrote: ↑November 29th, 2019, 11:50 pmHow dare the referees not step out and guard that sharp shooting Ford kid.

St. Mary's got away with a ton of traveling, and one was about 6 steps.

Re: After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
This game was not in the refs despite there being a lot of bad calls. We simply ran out of gas. Someone has got to help Merrill on the perimeter to open him up. He is getting abused out there.
We also can’t play defense from 5 steps behind athletic guards. It doesn’t matter if we go over or under screens if we are too slow and out of position to be with the ball.

Re: After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
After watching those neutral court games in Jamaica, this was a different animal altogether. What I noticed was a period where the refs called tick tac fouls that took away 2 open 3pt shots (we made one, the other wasn't shot) and a layup from us. A little later the ref took out Britto. What was he doing in the lane? Never really saw anything similar going against St Mary's. They were basically breakaway fouls only the refs were making them. I was sure they were going to give the Britto collision ball to St Mary's.
The St Mary's guard had a great game. I wish Porter would have used his fouls on that guy instead of everyone else but him. And the flagrant? all Porter did was stop the shot.
Overall I'm just glad we didn't get physically beaten down to the point of injury. Those church schools usually have seriously dirty players.

Re: After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
We did a poor job going under the screens. And when it’s a moving screen we needed to sell it better.
I thought it was officiated correctly at the end but Bean got hosed in the first half and we needed him! Part of the reason we were out of gas at the end is because too much pressure was out on everyone else with him out.

Re: After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
Do people really think that their is a biased against USU? There's been way to much whining about refs here lately. We got beat, get over it. They make mistakes, both ways, refs aren't out to get us.

Re: After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
I don’t think a general bias against USU. I think it’s more of a general bias against an away team. I thinks there’s also a general bias against teams not perceived as being athletic.Blitz79 wrote:Do people really think that their is a biased against USU?

As for the away team, refs are people and get influenced by home crowds. You wish it wasn’t so but it is and USU has been the benefactor of it in the Spectrum. It is what it is. Next year St Mary’s will probably complain about the refs and they will likely have a legitimate case.
As far as the a bias against what are perceived as non-athletic teams. I don’t necessarily think this happened much in the St. Mary’s game. There were a few plays that Ford or Fitts got stopped or stuffed and the ref made a call expecting a foul, but it was a clean play. I think this bias though mostly shows up when we play teams like LSU or SDSU and New Mexico. In this, there is a bias against USU.
It will be difficult for USU to remove the perception of being non-athletic. We have been known as a team that executes a system rather than a team that isolated and breaks down a defense based on athletic ability. Even now, under a completely different system, we are known as a team that plays very well as a team and there isn’t somebody that can dribble by everybody.
So when one of our players like Bean makes an athletic play, it catches people off guard, including refs. Sometimes refs operating under this perception will make a call based on what they anticipate will happen. We keep recruiting high quality players like we have and we can start to reverse this bias but I do believe it is there.
The opposite is also true. Going back to the LSU game, there were plays where it is perceived that they are super athletic so when they make a big play like some of the blocks, the refs expect that and don’t call a foul. After review, it looks like many of those blocks could easily be called as fouls. Some WERE very good athletic plays. But I do believe the bias exists.

Re: After the UC Davis and St Mary's true road games
I do think Randy McCall holds a bias against us.
That being said, I find it ironic you say "a lot of whining about refs" but we've only lost for a day.
If we win it's "we won, move on" but if we lose it's "you big baby!"
So when is a good time to bring up a gripe against a ref?
