The Big 12 should seriously look into this officiating. It is truly bad for the conference.


When they've taken 4x as many FTs as the other team, something is fkd

Over the back on that play. Of course refs don't call that on white.

Good news is that with the way Freeman is playing, the refs will make sure he doesn't foul out.

Win or lose I hope Scott Drew gets a huge fine tonight and tells the Big 12 to eat *****

KU will get bounced in the 2nd round per usual because the refs won't go to such great lengths to protect them.

It's over and over and over. I would say something about it in the press conference if I was Drew. There's just a line that has to be established at some point.
