Not much to replay when it is poor shooting and a ton of badly missed shots and non playmakers trying to make plays.

The officiating was awful. Worst part was they called the game completely different in the second half than the first. As a player you understand calls will be missed. Just be consistent in how you call it. I was fortunate enough to be there and everyone in the place was complaining about the approach to officiating between the two halves.

That officiating was MAC-esque. There I said it, that game looked like ours versus Kent State where there were consistent payback calls, missed calls all over the board, and calls at one end of the floor that went another way. Just embarrassing and a summary of the NCAA Tournament overall.

Two of those foul calls on Collins were hideous and it took him out of the game. There was a weak one on Meeks as well. I also hate the flagrant foul interpretation. I understand protecting the players but I think the number one issue has to be intent. Karnowski is just going for the ball in that instance and clearly not trying to hit Berry in the head. It didn’t change the score but it definitely changed Karnowki’s ability to play defense down the stretch. But I think someone hit the nail on the head when they said the biggest problem is that they changed the way they were calling the game at halftime. If it’s not a foul in the first half it shouldn’t be in the second.

In the title game, I saw little solid TEAM play on offense and about no one who could create for himself on offense.

Maybe it was fatigue or great defense or nerves.

But boring. If this had not been the title game, I imagine a lot of viewers would have switched channels.
