This is why I dont' love basketball. In no other sport is is just accepted that refs are allowed to determine a game on a regular basis.

coming into the game Baylor was one of the best teams in the nation in free throw disparity. Kansas below average. Not tonight.

This is flat out unacceptable by the Big 12 and the officiating crew. This absolutely cannot happen. The Freeman call where he is yanked from the basket and called for a foul was hideous. What a joke.

You have got to be kidding me. Refs are easily a 15 point swing at minimum now


Minimum. Lucas could easily probably be fouled out as well.

That's how I am with the NBA. Well I love basketball, but I hate the NBA. It isn't basketball. And what I'm watching tonight isn't.

King is going to have to step up and not turn the ball over. I think we have to 3 guard against this line up

Lindsey has no idea how to play with foul trouble.


Haha! Wut? He's gotten screwed on at least 3 calls. What do you want him to do just give them a free run to the basket?

If we lose I wish CSD would say something. It's bc no one ever does that Kansas gets away with all this crap year in and year out. But I know CSD is too much of a gentleman to do so.

Never thought I'd say it, but Lindsey played like a Jr. High guy on defense tonight. It's OK to contest, but better to stay in the game. Very frustrating, and reduces the possibility of getting a win. Come on the rest of you Bears, pick him up.

With 8 mins left you're damn right I'd rather give up a basket than have him foul out.

In fairness, boxing is the same way. But no one watches it anymore except me and like 2 other guys from Las Vegas.

You assume they wouldn't have called a foul on him anyways without contact.
