WOW, Helsley quote blaming refs for OSU...

[Vinny78]

losing. Here it is:

"Smart defiantly waved away Walton, who along with his two other officiating pals, contributed to a disappointing Bedlam debut for the OSU freshman — and for the Cowboys — in a 77-68 loss at Lloyd Noble Center."

The whole article was the refs this and the refs that. How much more homerism can you get, you can be a beat writer without this crap. BAD!!! FAIL!!!!

He must have watched another game, I thought everyone of his fouls were correct so the freshman Smart needs to learn how to NOT FOUL.

Helsley is an idiot! If the refs screwed his precious Pokes, how do you explain the free shot differential in the second half? OU was 12-13. OSU was 17-21. That's 8 more attempts than the home team.

Stats don't lie, but reporters do.

It seemed to me aggy played better when Smart was out and we stretched the lead when he was in.

The calls in this game were pretty even(ly bad). The Pokes got their fair share of calls.

 

[TheGimper]

OSU had 3 more fouls, shot more free throws, and got that flagrant foul on Cameron while playing on the road and yet Pokes think the game was called unfairly.

And that was while they were scrambling to mount a comeback. Usually the team that trying to claw its way back into the game is whistled for more fouls, but not yesterday.

Only OSU can make no FG's from the 10:30 mark down to the 3:30 mark while cutting the lead from double digits to 4 points and still complain about the officiating. Not to mention this happened on the road. If it weren't for the officiating they would have lost by 20+.

The ONLY bad call that went into their favor was when they called the shooting foul on Pledger's 3, via the ref across the court.... anything else is just making excuses

We might complain about Kuzy's type of articles at times, but at least she'd never stoop to this level

I thought that very thing when they finally hit a basket late in the game yesterday.

That was a foul, though. The odd part is that the guy near it didn't blow the whistle not that one of the refs did.

That was my point, the one who made the call was standing across the court, not the two guys who were within arms length... I agree it was a foul, but the execution of the officials is the only thing they can complain about on that call

I think that is something OU should complain about. That it took the guy away from the play to call the blatant foul. Why would an OSU fan be able to complain about that?

Well said!!!! They got their 5 star recruits butts kicked. Nothing worse than crying about the refs.

Like M'Baye said, this is OUr House!!!!

I agree, just going off of the fact that I witness Brown run down the entire court and the entire bench jumped out onto the court after that call

 

[Keller Sooner]

That looks very weak for Helsley to write that article. :ed

 

[SoonerBounce13]

I liked how they called a foul on us on forte's three. Forte had kicked his leg out to draw contact
