Good referees are as rare as good priests these days. Xavier was absolutely screwed tonight.

have a bad day is the key to this tournament. The refs never gave them a chance to scrape out this win on a bad day.
Are today's refs unable to keep up with the pace of the game? I have thought this for quite a few years. Also, why are they so inconsistent?
they also went to pieces too, in last few minutes, up 68-64..No excuse for losing that game..
thought too much about the one on the beautiful block at the time. the referees tend to guess or go the other way and allow too much contact in games. For a while it was drive, get fouled, drive get fouled. But the most egregious were the calls against Macura.
