The Fix Was In

[Shoxfan40]

There were enough mishaps by us and the refs that could push this thread into double digits. Lets just say we got screwed a bit move on and wait to meet them again in the tournament because you we will and Marshall wont let go down to buzzer down there!! Lets get ready for UNI on tuesday

[ShockerFever]

Generally in an end-of-game situation like the Shocks were in tonight the refs will call a foul if a player is within five feet of the ballhandler. The non-call at the end and the tie-up "timeout" (didn't know you could call a timeout without possession) were way, way beyond the pale. MVC office is going to have to reprimand them: "don't be so obvious next time."

Bingo.

Coach summed it up best "we didn't play well enough to overcome what you have to overcome here..."

[ShockerFever]

the refs at the end of the game were fine. it was the shocks who screwed that up. the refs overall were terrible, but it was bad both ways and they were consistently bad. nothing to see her other than a bunch of people acting like sore losers.

wsu played terrible and deserved to lose. too little too late.

You aren't a WSU fan so this type of response is expected.

I'm not suggesting that we didn't play a horrible game and deserved to lose. Our FT shooting was atrocious.

But that is not my point. The point is WSU was not gonna be able to win this game. It was quite obvious.

I wish we could leave this crappy-ass league, but it ain't happening without football.

Re: The Fix Was In

One of the most obvious homer jobs I have ever witnessed.

This board is not alone in that view:

Re: The Fix Was In

If it wasn't obvious enough at the beginning of the game or the beginning of the second half or most certainly at the end, there was NO way these referees were going to let WSU win in Omaha. You could seriously tell they were on a mission to make sure it didn't happen.

One of the most obvious homer jobs I have ever witnessed. At least they could be somewhat more discrete about it.

Now you wonder why we haven't won there since Bush I's administration.

Maybe so..but what do you expect?

You're exactly right. I shouldn't expect anything more. I did predict the L but I sure didn't see the 3-man striped onslaught. At least to that extent.

You play an away game “you” have to expect it; and if “you”, by “your” own actions, allow a third party to pay a major role in the outcome…well…that is your own fault. But you are correct - it was pretty bad.

Regardless, in my judgment WSU lost this game.

As an aside, as I have written before (the obvious) – Hannah needs to be on the floor right now. His foul trouble caused significant problems.

HCGM... " Ive never seen a foul parade like that...If you would of let me know it was going to be a foul parade I would of brought a different team" .... "dont talk to me about fouls....Ive got to go back and look at some tape... I have some thoughts but I need to look at the tape and then I will have something very strong to say

I dont think there is a fix in but i agree it was pretty pathetic...

Creighton goes to the line 30 times and we go 18? You've got to be kidding me?

Worse than that though, the refs effectively took Hannah out of the game from the get go.

We got jobbed again.

Sounds like one team didn't adjust to the style of game the refs were calling.

Oh, I guess it also could be due to a conspiracy against the Shockers. It is certainly in the best interest of the MVC to keep the Shockers far away from success. Look how they have accomplished that goal in regards to our baseball team.

i didnt realize i wasnt a wsu fan.

people have complained about the refs under every coach since scott thompson, and probably before that but i was too young, saying they are out to get wsu. this is a pretty large conspiracy theory that apparently dates back for decades. the fact of the matter is the valley should have wanted wsu to win today b/c it would help assure two teams getting into the tourney.

relax shockerfever, no one is out to get you or the shockers. you can take the tin foil down from your windows.

in terms of the league what better league is there for wsu to be in? the mountain west? that league is a joke, so is the wac. conference usa? pass. the valley is the best "mid-major" conference in the country imo.

Classy.

for what its worth i pretty much completely disagree with everything he has said in his coaching thread.

[rrshock]

It is pretty bad when the KU folks think WSU got jobbed. That is saying quite a bit right there.
