Oats 18-4 now after getting a tech. Solid.
I'm surprised they didn't eject him last night. GCU's garbage Kobe knock-off getting a Kobe whistle while our guys had to get knocked to the ground for a 50/50 shot at a whistle was fricking infuriating. Pringle destroyed the clipboard after watching that fricking goon #24 continue to play dirty with no whistle.

The poor officiating in that game was about doing some Harrison Bergeron style limiters on a major team with more depth and a high tempo style of play. I thought GCU was in a lot of trouble when I saw that they only play 7 guys. I assumed that Alabama would wear them out early in the 2nd half.
Well, the disparity in the whistle allowed the game to be choppier and prevented Alabama from having any offensive flow. It kept some of our guys in foul trouble which artificially thinned our depth advantage a tad.
Similar shite happened last year versus SDSU. In the tourney, you're just going to run into activist officiating crews and you gotta hope your team is tough enough to overcome.

The commentating was just as bad as officiating. They only talked about GCU questionable calls when they were tripling us up at the FT line despite shooting mostly threes and mid-rangers at that point. Was the most poorly, one-sided officiating I've seen in the tournament in some time. Later in the 2nd half, when they got back into it, we were mostly just committing stupid fouls, but the officiating that took place for 3/4 of the game is what kept them in a position that allowed that to matter. It baffles me how influenced officiating is by even just a semi-hostile crowd.
I also think our reputation has completely screwed us in so many games this year. Usually officials worry about FT/foul disparity, but we've been on the wrong end of bad calls more this year than ever before. They simply expect us to foul if we get a stop, and never worry about the FT or foul count because of our reputation.
