20 FRICKING MINUTES GUYS! TWENTY MINUTES UNTIL WE'RE BACK IN THE SWEET 16 IN A REBUILD YEAR. FINISH IT

I may or may not have said this following a shot of whiskey.

Like to know where they found these 3 fuck ups in stripes? Must’ve been 3 homeless guys outside the damn arena.

True. Hope they keep whistles in pocket though. Its not same on both ends. But that usually balances out.

Bama needs those 3 s up

Pringle having no fouls is huge

 

[Rolltide24]

Terry’s buddies are at the A&M game.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Jesus christ Estrada.

 

[Crtuneman]

These refs are horrible. This is more like a wwe match

I know that bitching about officiating is a total barn move. I usually don't participate in that. Normally, you get some and you give some. However, these three clowns couldn't call a good HS game. It's like they are acutely aware of GCU's limited depth.

 

[bamanc50]

I’m all for the refs letting them play but dang let both teams play.

Horrible and inconsistent. It's a grab bag every possession on what they might call or not call. And it's been bad on both ends, but GCU has been the greater benefactor by far. But Bama needs to control what they can, keep playing good defense. Do that, and they should be ok.

 

[cj6891]

That was a piss poor block out!

 

[UAgrad93]

These refs wouldn’t know a foul if it hit them in the face!!

 

[bamanc50]

We got to hit some 3’s. Letting this bunch hang around

 

[Bammerboy321]

THIS OFFICIATING IS GOD AWFUL

 

[cj6891]

That was a big shot! Had gone cold for a while.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Estrada wtf are you doing

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Anything and everything at and under the basket for Bama on offense has been a clown show.

 

[bamanc50]

We have got to stop driving. Refs are not going to call fouls on GC under the basket

 

[Bammerboy321]

I am so freaking tired of Nelson and Estrada

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Need Jesus to go touch Wrightsell's noggin real quick.

We have got to stop driving. Refs are not going to call fouls on GC under the basket

And bama cant make baskets around rim anyway
