Refs Keep Imposing Themselves on Games

Larry Brown Sports says it well, the Refs seem to be imposing themselves on games with alarming frequency this year. We first saw this out in the Pac 10, when UCLA benefited from highly questionable calls to get victories over Cal and Stanford. This time it was Stanford against Marquette, a game we all viewed as a stand in for the long-running argument as to which was more effect in the NCAA tournament: Bigs v. Guards. Despite having their coach tossed, the Stanford Bigs (Lopez x2) hit the big shots and made the big blocks, making my friends Jordan ( 6'7") and Dave (6'5") squeal with glee. Of course, Stanford guard Micah Johnson had something like 15 assists with only 1 turnover. So guards may be pretty damn useful in making bigs effective. Micah Johnson, props to you buddy. 16 to 1 assist to turnover ratio? Yeah, that rocks.

ADDENDUM: Dave Dobbie has informed me that he would never be rooting for Stanford, despite their bigs, because they are whiney little bitches and complain about every call.
