I agree that Varnado got away with a lot when he was on offense; the hooking in particular should have been called, but I thought most of his blocked shots were clean.



I can agree with the blocks, but there were a couple times when our guys got hacked badly (a Thornton drive comes to mind) and there was no call. They even showed one as a replay of a "good block" and it was obvious that the state guy got nothing but both of Thorntons arms and no ball.

Saw that too.

What it boils down to for me is that we lost because:

a) we didn't play well; or
b) the refs took it from us, possibly because the SEC wants more teams in the tourney.

If I think the answer is B there is no reason for me to have a passion for LSU sports. The last time I truly blew a gasket at the referees was on the punt return that Tennessee touched and we recovered in the end zone in Knoxville.
