Not blaming refs but the amount of fouls called over the last 2 mins of the game and during OT was crazy.

Delaware paying the piper now due to no bench. Who knows if the houser injury wasn’t due to fatigue. Dam shame as he was playing his best ball. We win that game if he doesn’t go down

This team is screwed if Howser’s injury is season ending. Houston is a liability while on the floor.

Trying not to get too caught on the foul call. A jump ball after a stop and the loose ball leading to the shot are both just brutal. Not many times im left speechless from an ending

It’s so sad that Reilly and possibly Piper refuse to play so they can maintain another year of eligibility and get more NIl money next year. This team has no one on the bench and we have a player(s) who are just thinking about themselves. Also notice they never get up from the bench cheering our guys after a big play. Our walk-ons do all the cheering.

Yes, agree.
It is as close to cheating as you will ever see. Three brutal calls that didn’t need to be made and the last one could be a disciplinary event for the ref.

I’m not sure Piper is in the group of not playing. He was announced as having a season ending injury before the season even started.

So is Reilly the only one refusing to play now that Njoku was dismissed?

79, I was following live stats but didn't see the ending. Can you expand a little bit more on what happened?

If this was the NBA, they could have challenged that last call. Fernandez clearly stripped the ball and then their shooter flails his arms and they call a foul on Kazanecki when their shooter didn’t even have the ball.

Hens up 1 with 4.6 left with WKU inbounding under their own basket. Hens defended well and the inbounds kinda got in a scrum 15 feet from the hoop. The WKU player kinda got the ball and kinda attempted to shoot and get stripped at .9 in a crowd. Replay, if it was even used or needed showed on the big screen all ball. Again, Brutal. In all that commotion a foul shouldn’t have been called. And the replay showed it wasn’t even a foul. Is was a disgrace of all call. It decided the game which refs aren’t supposed to do.
