Higgins to officiate final four!

[shoxlax]

On sports daily - shockers have only lost 2 games that Higgins has did.

That's not accurate....must have meant McCall.

Didn't we have Higgins at least once on this journey already? Done alright so far so I am not worried. I think coach knows him well enough now to know how much he can push. He will be fair and call it the way he sees it...no favorites amongst players but coaches need to beware.

I enjoy watching John Higgins outside the Valley. Did you watch the Syracuse/Marquette game?

We did have Higgins in the Gonzaga game, and he called the game so biased against us that it almost cost us that game. If you remember early in the 2nd half when the zags went on that huge run, it was at the same time that Higgins made about 5 calls in their favor in a row. Then when he did make a call "for" WSU, it was a foul on them that negated a Hall rebound and put back. It was at this time I started noticing he stopped blowing the whistle for almost the rest of the game. I couldn't help but think one of the other refs actually told him to stop calling the game so biased because it was becoming very noticeable. I know that I'm not the only one thinking about how unfair the officials were that game, because at the pep rally HCGM even brought up how bad the officiating was in that game.

Our coaches and our kids are going to decide the game Saturday night.

I didnt say he wont make a mistake, I recall yelling at him a time or two myself. Guess what I am saying is our team and our coaches should be familiar enough with him that they should know what to expect. I have no concerns with players and what goes on in the game but he will not take crap from the coaches for very long before he makes his point.

Fugg Higgins.......Marshall said that in the Gonzaga game, he told Higgins the fouls were 17-5 against us. Higgins response was...one more word outa you and I'll T you up.

Was not very happy about them making sure Ohio state got back in the game late. That would have been a blow out if not for some zebra assitance.

Les Jones
Karl Hess
Terry Wymer

Les Jones was a showboat in the UA v OSU game I saw in person, call to many touch fouls and had a tendency to call things out of his area. I thought at the time, hope we don't get him on Sunday and now here he is at the FF.

Maybe that game was an anomaly. I sure hope so and they let the players decide the game. If you remember that game a lot of players got in foul trouble early. Oh we'll, hope for the best!

Wish I was there this weekend...GO SHOCKS,,
