Since people want to talk about the PSU game and not having it put in other thread. I'll start the game thread. So lets have at it.

Oh, and the REF'S are GARBAGE!!

[Tom Jones]

Refereeing basketball is a very difficult chore.  I do not believe the conference  intentionally hires incompetent or prejudiced officials.  The conference hires the best it can find   And I think that with very rare exception officials do the very best job they can.  They contend with a few obstacles. For one, they have to make split second decisions. We get to watch the slow mo replay, they don’t. Also, I truly believe that spectators sitting in the lower rows, and sometimes all of us on TV, have a better view of the action then do the officials standing within a few feet of the play.  And application of so many of the rules is so judgmental. It would be unreasonable to expect 100% of decision-makers on judgmental matters to all agree with each other. It would be an interesting experiment To show video of 25 or so charge/block close calls to 100 officials and see how often 90% or more of them come down on one side.  
 

Sure there are going to be errors This is inevitable. For example the charging call on Markowski was egregiously wrong. But I find myself agreeing with the vast majority of calls and very seldom have I seen erroneous calls on one team badly out of proportion to its opponent.

Nice start by Alexis.  Good defense.  Offense? Not so much. Jaz casting up threes with no ball movement.
