U of M thread (in the Lions Forum) :)

Great game, too bad it was marred by some of the worst officiating I've ever seen. Not that it caused UM to lose, just some absolutely horrid calls/no calls/wrong calls going both ways.

This.

I don't mind the consistent body contact allowed, as that was pretty consistent across the board. Louisville just took better advantage with their more physical play.

But the sort of blatantly terrible calls made, to both teams, all game... that's inexcusable.

Like what? What were the blatantly terrible calls made against Louisville?

Some bad calls the previous two games too. Unfortunate.

Beyond that I think ultimately the difference was, IMO, Behanan. He was just so good down there. GRIII and Hardaway Jr. were too soft for him and when those guys get pushed around it seems to effect them on the offensive side.

What were the horrid calls/no calls/wrong calls that went in UM's favor? I know the super clean block on Trey wasn't in UM's favor. I know the missed goaltend in the first half wasn't in UM's favor, and I know Burke's phantom second foul that made him sit for 15 minutes in the first half wasn't in UM's favor.

McGary's kicked ball, for one.

Smith had a PERFECTLY clean steal on Albrecht that was called a foul.

There were others, but those are the two that come to mind right off.

The Tigers this year.

There were more that went against UM, but McGary got away with his fifth against Bohannen, Hardway shoved off on a drive to the basket that was pretty blatant. The kicked ball by McGary though I don't know if that amounted to much of anything. Russ Smith got hacked a couple of times that clearly weren't called.

UM did get the shaft on a lot of stuff though, but their pick & roll D was horrid and they continues to gank FTs.

[nhwbrooklyn]

The calls favored Louisville IMO. The bad calls were more about the calls they didn't call. It was both ways but it favored Louisville (but it's also logical it favored an aggressive defense and a team that likes to drive more than shoot).

It was the non-calls that were more glaring overall.

You mean the kicked ball that went right back to a louisville player?
