End of Game Officiating Is a Joke

[BigblueDrew]

The officials unwillingness to blow a whistle in the last ten seconds of a game is a JOKE!!! the Arkansas game was at least the third game of this tournament where a shooter has been mugged at the end of the game and nothing is called. i understand the officials reluctance to decide a game with a call but this is ridiculous. they might as well leave the court at the 20 second mark since they aren't going to call anything else anyway.

And they blew a ten second call! :tongue:thumbdown

That Arkansas call was horrid. Guy clearly got slapped on the wrist.

However, Arkansas dug themselves that grave because they just flat-out refused to make a free throw for about a ten minute stretch in the second half.

I also noticed that the games were very loosely called in the SEC Tournament. Wonder if a memo went out to the refs or something. Ironically, an Arkansas fan turned to me in Nashville and complained about the lack of fouls called in the Arkansas/Florida game.
