Conference Opener: OSU vs Houston

[HacklemanPoke]

The refs letting UH be physical isn't helping matters. Needed a tightly called game.

But they absolutely won’t let you swim over the top to front

I heard a Jerry Tarkanian quote the other day speaking of his team on defense, “They can’t call a foul on all five players at once.” Essentially the Kelvin Samson approach and it works.

It’s not the fouls it’s the reactions of pouting and palms up stares. Just keep playing hard through contact.

We foul Houston and they don’t pout. They’re veterans and tough. Physically and mentally. We aren’t there yet

I just assume this season is going to be bad. I figure it will look a lot like Porter Mosser at OU where we get a little better each year until we are respectable again

You're for sure right, and I'm that way, too, until the clock starts running.

Avery gets T'd up. He was for sure whining, but looks like he said "come on, where's the foul?"

Probably wouldn’t change the outcome but 6 games in 5 weeks probably isn’t the recepie for success and leading into league play. Houston has played 9 in that span.

Also our starters are 1-21 from the field. Wow.

55-34 UH timeout OSU

Smacks of a ref being too sensitive that he missed a call. The radio crew couldn’t believe a foul wasn’t called on his 3.

College officiating just sucks. It gets even worse when an official glass an ego.

Officiating has ruined college basketball

Houston wins 60-47

Next game @ West Virginia and their star player, Javon Small

Went about as expected. Only silver lining is that they can't shoot much worse.

 

[SanditeCowboy]

Amazing how the OSU scoring has picked up in the last 7 minutes when the refs started calling Houston for fouling.

Not saying the Cowboys would have won if Houston was called for fouling the first 30 minutes of the game, but it would be nice to see a consistently called game.

The defense was pretty good. Unfortunately they couldn’t make a shot.

Gonna stay patient...but kinda of tired of losing.

I can’t imagine being a ref having to sprint both ends of the court and watching thousands of hand swipes and hand checks. I also feel refereeing is controlling games way too much but imagine trying to do it with guys like Arturo flying in and guys like ChiChi dribble penetrating into traffic. It’s near impossible. Even harder being consistent. But 1-2 calls on a guy really disrupt team flow and outcomes in games. I remember Jordan use to average 1 foul/game and won defensive player of the year numerous times lol

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Lutz mentioned that part of the problem with missed shots in the lane is that players were going up trying to draw a foul instead of trying to score. Says they'll address it.

College officiating has ruined college basketball in my eyes. It’s atrocious.
