LOL. Refs, LOL. Put some blame on your birds and give some credit to Indiana St. But don't ever, ever blame a loss on the refs......LAME.

Did you watch the same game? I watched countless hooks in the paint by the sycs and we get called on them. I watched Odum fall to the ground after not being touched (no hands or body) only to have a foul called. I watched as Nic Moore drove the baseline on a moving body and was forced to make a terrible pass as no call was made. On the other end I watched Odum drive on a moving body and get a foul call. You tell me?

Like I said, birds have only had one other poorly officiated game this year. This was extremely bad.

I do agree though, even with the bad officiating, the birds did have a chance to get the ball in the hoop and not commit dumb tunrovers in the first. However, this was just bad...bad officiating. It's great officiating if you are the Sycs or some other team that needs the birds to lose. I suppose at least we had a chance even with the adversity.

Odum was 17-21 from the free throw line. He had 21 free throw shots. we had 19 as a team That says it all. I am tired of the preferential treatment.

I'm going to leave it at that though.

Maybe you should try stopping him on the ball screen/ dribble drive he was at the rim all night long tonight and your guys were in such terrible help side D that they had to foul to prevent layup after layup. 34 points, 7 assists, 7 rebounds, 1 turnover and 17-21 from the line. Who gives a F about the missed free throws? We lose by 20 without him tonight.
