Officials at halftime
 

The Wisconsin - Arizona game made me wonder what kind of discussions take place at halftime. The game was officiated in a completely different way after halftime.

Final Four. Go Badgers. #fanboy

lol. I'm happy too, but there were so many more fouls called in the second half.

Probably because Ariz finally started attacking the middle more and going after Kaminsky a bit.I thought it was called tight but fairly consistently.

Anyone have the first half vs second half foul numbers?

I'll see what I can find. 22-21 Arizona for the game. Wisconsin averages 12 fouls a game, best in the country.

11-9 Wisconsin. So the second half was 12-11 Arizona. Not a big swing. And a couple of the AZ fouls were end-of-game, although Miller waited way too long, IMO.

In a college game, where the hottest cheerleaders, coeds, or celebrity fans located.

I think the Arizona coach with all his yelling and gesturing was getting to them. So they decided to call some more fouls.


hottest cheerleaders. hmmm
btw, does Notre Dame have cheerleaders? I can't recall seeing them.

I feel like this plays into what was brought up in this thread. Wisconsin's last two games have been called really tight, but the 2nd half foul counts in the ND-UK game tonight with 10 left to play were UK: 3 and ND: 0.

I was kind of joking. But that Arizona coach was getting them annoyed. The refs gave both coaches a warning but it was really Miller who they wanted to shut-up.


btw, off-topic but I want to say congratulations to the teams in the California state finals. Best teams in all the nation. As many of you know California is far and away the most fantastic basketball in all the land, and they showed it again tonight. St Mary's of Stockton and Mater Dei girls game was my personal favorite.

That is complete bullsh*t. You are a lying fanboy. And the proof is below.
There were 20 fouls called in the first half and 23 in the second half.
That is certainly not "so many more." You should post a public apology to the officials admitting that you were wrong.

The CA State Finals were amazing this year. There were 12 games. Six boys, six girls. Open and divisions 1 (largest schools) through 5 (smallest schools).
Three of them went 2OT and the boys Open was decided by 1pt in OT.
I won't compare the level of play with other states around the country, but I will say that the competition was great and the games were very enjoyable for those involved. Btw NorCal won 6 and SoCal won 6.

First official: "Hey -- anything we need to discuss?"

Second official: "Yeah -- what can we change so hbk and mutantducky will make some really stupid comments about the officiating?"

Third official: "It doesn't matter. They will anyway."

I find it very hard to determine if they are simply trolling or actually believe what they are saying. I lean towards the latter due to longevity.

Right on Nevada. It was cool watching the games on TV this year. There were some better games in the years past but overall this was such a good one. Double ot games, games going to the wire. I was so impressed with some of the girls play. No joke I think they could take on many varsity boys teams.
Mater Dei is such an insane powerhouse even though they lost the girls and boys. They really should have won that boys game but Rabb, Austin and Co pulled through.

Bob,

This is a classic post....not sure you would have said this in your "moderator" days.....
