That's four years in a row, even with the questionable reffing tonight.  Gotta give 'em some respect.

You must live in a fantasy world .. the refs were fine tonight. We got beat, pure and very simple. They shot well, very well from 3's and we were not as effective. We deserved to lose.
[/QUOTE]

Wrong. The refs sucked tonight - both ways. One of the worst reffed games I have EVER seen. But they are not why we lost. We lost because:

1. Soft, moving picks/screens w/nothing off of them. As well too many of the high post screens are becoming darn near mid court screens. The big shot off a pick is not supposed to be a jumper - should be driving the lane.........
2. OUr bigs - are not, and don't play like bigs. Whimpish, tentative, hesitant, do not anticipate well, multiple misses to weak side help, do not crash the boards, etc.
3. Bobby Mo gets the calls because they were taking the initiative and got into "position" where they either made a play, or got the call. Therefore, they got to the FT line. Then, made the FT's
4. We missed too many FT's.
5. Everybody knows how to stop us w/such a non-existent inside, inside/outside game. All ya gotta do is essentially "zone" the 3 line and force us to 25 ft out, and stop the corner shot.

Yes - they did shoot lights out too. But, that also is not "why" they won. Even marginally better execution on above 4 points and we would have beat them. 

Green better be ready to make an immediate impact. Show any guts and balls at all and he's gonna get 20+ minutes a game REAL fast.

I didn't see it, but Russ and Rob were dumbfounded at some of the calls.  They said there were fouls when nobody was around the guy charged with the foul, and lots of heavy contact with no fouls.  It seemed to be pretty even in numbers, but they seemed to hit some of our key players (especially Offutt & Smith) more than theirs.

Agree about our inside game or rather lack of it . Really anxious to get K Green in the mix...

NEC officials are notoriously bad. But it is an evenly applied level of awful.

And yes, Mr. Morris has put a dress on us and renamed us Sally.
