That was in Lawrence in 2022 or 2023. It was bad but not as bad as last night. Certainly not as egregious or obvious.
There were more possessions with a worse call or no call in that game than any single call in this game than there were possessions without. You are not remembering correctly.
I'm not arguing that. Quantity wise I'll say you're right. But I'm speaking of the egregious lack of quality of the calls. Bad quality calls can wreak just as much havoc on a game as a few particularly egregious calls.
KU was much worse quantity and quality. If you made a list of the 20 worst calls and nocalls between the two games, I think every single entry on the list would be from the KU game. The refs ought to have done better on the 2 techs, even if they thought they were justified (and I think it's plausible that they did think so, rightly or wrongly), but I think you have to hold those in their own category to some degree, as it's hard to compare them to actual basketball calls (but if I were to compare, I'd still not list them with the more indefensible calls from the KU game)
