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.
