I'm always bitching about officials. I admit it. Particularly, the crap we have to put with in the SEC. I feel, however, that we have legit whines with what the SEC has to offer us.

I have to say that this game was WELL officiated.

I don't care if Butler shot twice as many FTs at one point. (we caught up at the end of the game when they HAD to foul). This game had a nice flow, and the refs were VERY consistent with their calls. I actually thought we got a few early in our favor, but after Butler threw their 3rd or 4th illegal screen, I paid more attention to it.

I'm so happy to be out of league play. I wish every SEC team could experience what we experienced today.

Good job, Refs. Whoever the hell you were!

LOL. Butler was in the bonus with 11 mins left in the game. Thornton gets hammered and no foul is called but Howard gets every ticky tack call. They did their part to help Butler but it wasn't enough

Yes, this was my favorite. Howard is falling backwards and he falls into Taz and they call a foul on Taz!

calling the game tight in the 1st half worked to LSU's advantage

I somewhat agree. Sure they missed some calls. But, for the most part they were pretty consistent with their calls.

I missed the first 10 minutes of the first half, but the rest of what I watched was not a well officiated game. That big white sum bitch was getting everything called in his favor. EVERYTHING.

If Taz or someone else so much as layed a finger on him they were getting called.

LOL.

Damn.

So even when we try to say nice things about the Refs, in a game we win, we get blasted?

Eh. Just remember next time I'm bitching about the refs (which will be Saturday), I tried. Once.

I don't about well officiated. I remember Matt Howard getting away with a lot of fouls and that Marcus Thronton's foul close to the to the end where he had his hands up and all of a sudden the whistle blew that some BS. There were other times too.

Exactly! That is precisely when I texted my brother and asked him why we couldn't get a call inside. It blows my mind.

Yep, the refs tried to give it to Butler just like they try to give the game to LSU's opponent every game we play.

I just wonder why we ALWAYS get shafted on the calls?

Surely, it's not because 99% of LSU fans have the P&G Blinders on.

NOOOOOOOO. That can't be it. We really do get screwed on the calls all the time.

Man, some of the replies in this thread are hilarious.

You guys win and you're whining?

You had a final 4 two years ago; I don't think you're gonna be near that anytime soon.

Not since the ol' Dale "never has so little been done with so much" Brown.

Butler's youngters will be a top-12 powerhouse for the next 2+ years.

Take North Carolina and the points Saturday, you'll get a free ride on your utility bills for a month...

LMAO, I never said anything close to that, i'll be the first to admit when we are the beneficiaries of a bad call (see Alabama @ LSU football in 2004), you are an idiot that is all.
