"Nothing he could do"

Yep. Pretty comical. And the ref is staring right at him

The inbounds play didn't lose us the game[/url]

We'll never know if it did or not. Would you have to see Buddy shooting free throws with us down one? I sure would have.
 
If I were an official and I heard that nonsense from Mason, I'd be sure to show him next time I was officiating a KU game that there was, in fact, "something I could do."

I know, skyvue. I just meant we could have made plays to not have ourselves in that situation...but yes, putting buddy on the free throw line would have been epic. I don't like to boil everything down to one play, but I know what your are saying.
 
In politics they refer to this as a Kinsley gaffe---when a politician accidentally tells the truth. Self knows the refs will swallow their whistles late in close games at Phog Allen and coaches his team to take full advantage. Mason's comment is a direct acknowledgment of this fact. Give them credit for using it to their advantage, but I think it speaks volumes about the amateurism in college officiating. I don't mean that as an insult. I mean to say these guys are literally not professional referees and it often shows.
 
Buddy's post game interview with SVP (http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:14506326):

"We just came up short, you know, these simple plays, I had a couple calls -- c, uh, careless turnovers cost us the game. Need to do better in those situations."

Respect.

True. Hield can fix those silly turnovers, which is great.

What's the alternative to Cousins in future situations like this?

Is James good enough to offset another major funk?

I honestly did not realize that had happened on that play.

Oh well.

If it takes KU 3 overtimes to beat us at Allen Field House just imagine what we're gonna do to them in Norman.

Aaaaagh.. I said I hoped we would not lose because of officiating and I thought we had not. But something as obvious as that is an intentional ignore by the ref. How can you in bound it?

That was an easy call to make. The league has copies of that already in their inbox this morning.
