A school with 30k undergrads has a smaller student section than us.

How many injuries would you see in the absence of that rule? What mitigates negative consequences of this rule is the intentional foul rule.

What would you put in its place?

Yeah, I mean I guess you're right. I just hate the spirit of it. I guess there's no real alternative, but any rule that seemingly penalizes a team for a player potentially suffering a gruesome injury seems wrong.

Our guys getting mauled and they aren’t calling anything. They’ve called 4 charges on us this half and 2 blocks. Home cooking at its finest.

16 Owl Turnovers and it’s tied at 60

Connor gets shoved by Draper...no call. Massive block by Najja leads to an uncontested 3 for Draper. Tie ball game. Rice basketball in a nutshell.

After the Owls lead by as much as 9.

A lot of those “turnovers” were absolutely ridiculous calls.

Refs have no clue what they're doing right now. Bishop goes straight up, Smart leans into him. Rulebook says that's not a foul, refs, of course, don't know that.

*That foul on Woolridge might have been a worse call

I really don’t understand how the officials in our conference are so bad. I thought it was just home games but these guys are clueless.

Hadn't lost a shooter all night and we do in crunch time. Surprised coach didn't burst a blood vessel.

Osborne misses both FTs and then fouls on the rebound.....the season in a nutshell.

Just a really bad last 5 minutes.

Ugh tough break. Hunter shuffled his feet before the go ahead bucket.

And another Owl turnover- travelling - with 24 secs to go

Really pleased with Bishop’s play this year. He has gained confidence all year...too bad under Rhoades he was relegated to strictly a defensive role.

Robbery. We could’ve put this game away but complete bull**** on the officiating. They shouldn’t ever work another game.

Astoundingly bad offensive foul called, but honestly, who expects anything different at this point. If Holston was the primary defender there it's a charge. Somehow the refs didn't realize Holston was the secondary defender which means he needs to be set, which he wasn't close to being.

I'm not sure how a professional ref misses that call.

This teams sucks. Pera better do an outstanding job of recruiting next year or he can go to VCU with Rhoades

Bad officiating but helped immensely by our “panicked” style of play down the stretch.

Oh please. Did you even watch the game?
