Final two

Monday, April 7th, 2008

And then there were two….  Kansas and Memphis will play for the NCAA championship in a few minutes.  I haven’t seen a lot of either of them this year, but I did watch the tourney games. 

Both teams are damn good.  Both play an uptempo game, so I don’t think the game tonight will be a low scoring affair - unless the ref’s are as big a part of the game tonight as they were in the women’s game (Tennessee VS LSU) last night.

Last night I saw things that would be called pass interference in the NFL go by without a call.  Players were getting mugged all over the court.  Not that either team shot well (they didn’t!) but if the ref’s would’ve blown a few whistles and gotten the players to play instead of hacking each other, at least we’d have had a clean game.

Inexplicably, they also called quite a few fouls when no one actually made contact.  I hope the NCAA does something in the future when ref’s miss that many blatant calls.  It’s one thing to let the players play - it’s something else altogether when the game is decided by takedowns.
