Could've teed up Tramaine as well. 11 Richmond fouls in the second half. Makes you wonder. It seems them not giving him or TI the T there was key. It was still the first half obviously but I was real worried that if they T’d him up and we give away two easy points it could have shifted momentum. The fact that only one foul was called on them in the first half was odd but only two other plays were possible fouls. I’m glad he got in their heads and I’m glad they showed restraint and let him vent a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bay Area Billiken Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Greetings, my fellow Billikens, from the Big Apple. BILLIKENS WIN!!! This being said and without hyperbole, that may well have been the bar none worst officiated game that I have ever seen. Those refs nearly gave a clearly inferior Richmond team that game. Even a Dayton fan on the Q Subway told me SLU was given a lot of bad calls. The incompetent officiating lasted nearly the entire game, a veritable cornucopia of blown calls. But BILLIKENS WIN, live to play another day. Beat Dayton. Let's Go Bills. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t remember more pathetic officiating in any previous season of SLU Basketball. It’s terrible but nothing will be done. Unfortunately Ford is getting a bit of a reputation in the conference as a whiner, but how can you blame him? ONE freaking foul against Richmond the whole half??

However the issue of the refs with their terrible calls is something that has been going on for the whole season. There seems to be no end in sight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
billiken_roy Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 What was most infuriating about the officiating the one ref openly showed his dislike for ford. Sarcastic comments and talking down to him and then running over to Mooney (numerous times) to seek acceptance for his standing up to mean ole travis. It was shocking imo. They blatantly tried to cheat us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why those A10 refs would attempt to aid and abet a clearly inferior, now 20 Loss, and frankly lousy Richmond team over a now 20 Win SLU team is a mystery. I’ll investigate some more this afternoon while engaging in some diplomacy with my new found Bonnie friends. The Bonnies read our Board, and they are good folks, knowledgeable and passionate fans.

3star_recruit Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Pretty much every physical team outside the brand name programs get screwed by the refs. The kind of games we're involved in are not fun to officiate. The refs hate that Ford openly complains about it. Apparently he's just supposed to take the bad calls until more conventional players arrive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Watching post play from French was a thing of beauty last night. I want more Frenches on the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slufanskip Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 The announcers were just as bad claiming there was just one missed call in the 1st half and that Travis would feel differently after he watched the film. So we are to believe that this team that couldn't commit a foul, despite as Travis said that we kept passing the ball inside, all of a sudden committed 11 in the 2nd half.

While UR was up by near double digits, did anyone else catch the announcers murmur something about how Richmond was in a nail bitter with Fordham last night and that the opponent tonight(Bills) was "not much better".

slusam Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I dont know how to find this out but didnt Richmond only have one or two fouls the first half in our earlier game with them.

Their first foul came with 4 minutes left, and it was the only fouled called on Richmond in the first half. But look, all of a sudden Richmond becomes a violent team in the 2nd half and collects 10 fouls Quote Link to post Share on other sites
