At what point does college basketball fix its officiating?

[JMUplayer]

This game in particular has been really, really bad.

Really all season long though, refs, collectively, have been fvcking clueless.

Get off the ref complaint train......

[daneblazer]

Why even have replay? Fukkers still can't get it right

[Vinnie Paz]

He never touched it daney

[MoneyLineDawg]

I would bet my life the ball hit off winslows fingertips...any reason 3 fukkin refs can't see it with 20 angles and screens

It's a joke

[daneblazer]

He never touched it daney

If fingers bent back. He clearly touched it.

...before someone assumes something, I was on Duke

Take a way the gambling and u will see great officiated games. If you can't do this then just go to a high school game. You don't even notice the refs. Why? Because there is no betting line they need to worry about.

[MoneyLineDawg]

If you can't tell he touched it stop watching sports and quit betting...

He either touched it or he didn't...enough with the hiding behind "conclusive evidence" and staying with the original shit call

Refs across the board have been horrendous in big spots in all sports

Didn't bet this game either just want a fair game

This is silly. High school refs are flat out horrendous. Tough job. They were just really bad this tourney.

The replay was awful but it was still a 5 point game. The worst missed call was when it was a 1 point game and Duke stepped out and they missed it and Okafor got the shot. That changed the game.

That's awful as well but the replay non-overturn is inexcusable...refs should be shot for staying with the call on the floor when it's clear as FUKKIN DAY the ball hits off his fingertips

What are they looking at???

This. How they missed the step out is beyond me. But they didn't have the benefit of replay on that one. Those two and the Wisco score Saturday that must have been a full second after the shot clock are just crazy bad. Everything in college sucks - the quality of play, the coaching, and especially the officiating.

[Cuse0323]

Every call went Duke's way. They were in the double bonus with over 10+ minutes left. Wisconsin didn't hit the bonus until 20 seconds left. Winslow steps out they miss it, touches it they miss it. Barrel to the basket and get every call, then on the other end it's a charge on Wisconsin. Mike Stephans shouldn't be reffing a college game, let alone the National Championship game.

[ChiLLx]

Duke another asterisk title, haven't had a great team since the 90s. Nothing without the refs on their side.

[Guinser]

not calling that charge on winslow for the 4th was pretty huge. and tyus jones flopping like a penetrating joke..just embarassing shit that wont fly in the nba

[Cuse0323]

Played mid-majors to get to the Final Four then a 7 seed. Then handed the title game. Worse than their win over Butler where they beat no one. Wisconsin has to run the gauntlet then gets ass rammed by the refs.

u never notice this in coach K games? Maybe the refs are not that incompetent and maybe just a hair corrupt who are told what to do.

Pretty much....funny how the golden boys always have things work out in their favor but I guess thats how it goes for some people and teams in life

i see why that is ur screen name

It's nothing new, that's for sure. It gets old that the players never get to decide it.

[Thor4140]

Can someone check and see if any team in NCAA history covered every game (in tourney) including the title game. Leave out Duke tho. Im sure they did it a few times.

bullshit they beat a solid Baylor team that year. Well they were getting beat till the last 4 minutes and then got every call from that point as the kids from Baylor's heads were gonna explode from wondering what the hell was happening..

[Mac4Lyfe]

Florida Gators covered all there games in 2006 and all but 1 game in their repeat in 2007.

UConn did this last year... pretty sure of it they were underdogs mostly maybe not first 2 gms tho of tourney

[ChiLLx]

Yes I think UConn was underdogs every game.

If only Saint Joseph's didn't completely choke away that first game

[Mac4Lyfe]

Duke guards took over this game down the stretch. Those freshman guards were killing it off the pick and role. That Grayson Allen kid is a star in the making. Duke was dead in the water, down 9 points and he scored 6 crucial points to breath life back into them. Then Tyus Jones went all Kemba on them scoring 2 huge 3's at the top of the key to put the dagger in the Badgers. Refs didn't win this game. Duke guards won it. Wisconsin did the same thing UK did on Saturday. Take poor shots and had shot clock violation during crunch time. They got frazzled in the end.

Duke another asterisk title, haven't had a great team since the 90s. Nothing without the refs on their side.

[TheMoneyShot]

I will agree... when you start going to the monitor... and you can't get the damn play right... wtf is wrong with these fools? They watching a quick 30 second porn flick??? The hell are they looking at?

Been saying it year after year. They always get the easiest path. Tiring! Wiscy unfortunately didn't have any players who wanted to join Frank in the winner's circle. Duke's persistent denial on defense really disrupted their sets.

[TwoWays]

Nba review dudes would not have missed that play

[MoneyLineDawg]

Bo Ryan pissed off with the refs....Held back but was passive aggressive about it

Can't blame him

[Ghenghis Kahn]

why would these fukking refs do the right thing for a change? at least they were consistently bad all year. one thing i learned from this college hoops season. 2nd half first 10 minute totals are golden on 5Dimes. other than that, college hoops is determined too much by the refs.

[bosigga]

Refs weren't great but they didn't have as much of an impact tonight as Wisconsin running out of gas with 5 mins to go or so

They had a 9 point lead and couldn't hang on

[No coincidences]

Two horrific calls went against Wisconsin on out of bounds plays, and the Badgers somehow committed 13 second-half fouls (only 1 or 2 intentional) after being called for 2 in the first half.

[MoneyLineDawg]

The ball either hit off Duke or Wisconsin, the whole point of replay is to get the shit call you made on the floor corrected...If you can see without bias you know the answer

Unforgivable call in that spot.....Has to be an agenda obviously, no one getting paid to do a job sucks that bad

[smoke a bowl]

It's always awesome coming to the forums after the big games and watching the losers rant. Of course it's not as fun the times I'm one of the losers.
