Just saw the reply of Garrett's "game winner"

I don't think we should be in a position where DePaul can beat us on home court because of one bad call. It was what it was, but we played 39+ minutes of crappy basketball, I just can't get worked up about that call any more than the abysmal play that made it possible.

And despite mostly awful play, being in great position to win the game with five minutes to play.

Jump ball towards end and DePaul player is laying on floor in the tie up with both legs out of bounds. Arrow to the Blue Demons.

Even the usher standing next to us pointed that out. And as Gato says.... in the end it was missed FTs and untimely TOs (as Wojo pointed out).

John Cahill (who runs like a girl even in retirement) needs to sit down Joe (I want to be the show) Lindsay and show him the tape, then make him justify why he made that call. Can't imagine that would end well. Between Lindsay, Corbett and Anderson (the worst offenders imo), watching these games is not even fun anymore. Between our inconsistent, stupid play and incredibly poor officiating, it might be the most challenging season I've ever seen. On top of that, I don't see that it will improve any time soon.

Add me to "so be it." Officials make calls. Officials miss calls. My nephew who was watching the game said it was definitely a foul. So it appears to be a call upon which people can disagree. But that is not the point. The officials did not cost us the game. That play did not cost us the game. The whole game cost us the game. When we were up five, Luke went to the line and bricked two free-throws. Hit those and it s a seven point lead, or at least three possessions. Wojo pointed out in his postgame remarks that we got killed on the boards. That will do it. DePaul is not a terrible team. Garrett is a really good player, and there are some other ones there. I did not expect a walk-over, and I do not expect any in this conference. Similarly, I do not think anyone expects them from us, either.

Wojo alluded to it in the post game and Duane WIlson's dad was pissed about it post game--there was no foul whatsoever. Luke never touched him. Figures that officials call a phantom foul at a crucial time as the officiating this year has been pathetic.

I get it but we pissed the game away in the last 2 minutes. Turnovers, missed free throws etc.

Blaming the refs for last night is ridiculous. It should have never got to that. The refs are part of the human element that has to be dealt with.

I, personally was not blaming the refs, just pointing out the level of reffing is at an all time low and certain refs are beyond poor. Yes, we did enough stupid things as I pointed out, that contributed mightily to our loss. But it is not ridiculous to blame several poor calls as a contributing factor in the game. If we are going to blame poor rebounding, poor shooting, poor defense and stupid turnovers for contributing to the loss, poor calls are also a contributing factor. It basically amounts to a turnover that we didn't commit, and we have very little wiggle room in that category as we are masters of the turnover in crunch time.

Bad calls usually goes both ways. Bad play goes one way.

I am certainly not disputing that refereeing in college basketball is bad. I am disputing that Marquette gets the shaft from those bad calls versus any other team.
