Re: I think we lost because of our home court {dis}advantage
How does one referee act when he's astounded that his partners were calling fouls???
T, I see you are still on Les for COY if BU wins 3 of the next 6 games. I hope so, but for me this is not about JL. Its about surviving. POB leaving changed everything, we all know that. Ray Browns immaturity and selfishness hurt badly and JC injury is a dagger. JL teams will not lay down, but we just dont have the horses. But JL will not be COY, theres just too many other good coaches in the league.

It is not necessarily "complaining" just to point out the incredible discrepancy in number of times our guys went to the line vs. theirs.
And it cannot be explained away just because we shot a lot of threes, since we points in the paint were almost exactly even.
Nope-- the difference was that when MSU had the ball in the post, there were two refs (both the gray haired ones) who awarded a foul every single time they did their back up move and pounded into their defender.
The third ref, never once blew a single one of those calls and was a bit astounded on occasion when the other two guys did.
For the BU guys to play their heart out and be within a shot of winning this game, then have the whole thing turn on a couple calls that kept sending their 90% FTers to the line was awful tough to swallow.
But for a team that lost its best returning player to the NBA, then had their best player and top shooter out with injury, I am still proud, and am confident we can win on the road and get this one back, and we can be a considerable force in the MVC Tourney. At 1-2 in the Valley, we are still ahead of Wichita State and a couple other, so we need to play harder and get one back on the road.
