Trae and the refs

[Darwin]

The opposite of protection, ignoring upper body contact on his drives multiple times. The 3rd foul charging call with 12:50 left that sat him down for 4 minutes in the 2nd half. Call wasn't even close, blocking player in the circle, easy to check like I did when I got home. Likely needed to play softer when he got back on the floor. I understand stars get less than fair treatment on the road...oh wait.

The gray haired ref needs to hang them up. That dude was effin clueless all day.

Outside of the terrible charge they called for Fisher, my only ref complaint is how they would ignore the arm bar they kept using on Trae to stop him from driving.

It's almost as if they know he can score so well that they don't want to make it "too easy" for him so they give the defender that slight edge subconsciously and let it go. It's a straightforward call that should be made every time.

We must be in Big 12 play now.

Yeah, and on the radio broadcast they brought up an intersection point about his speed... I think it was TROWE. He said, “it’s like the refs are thinking, he’s getting by defenders so fast he must not be getting bumped... all the while he’s getting bumped and held on every possession.”
