Bear Down Wildcats

It's hard enough to be a Cat fan, but it's the Pac-12 ref culture that makes it INSUFFERABE!

I honestly went from not caring anything about the outcome of this game to wanting this 1 bad.

Same

It’s that little shit ref with the grey hair that is a screwing us each time.

We have to tighten up our end of half defense or that will come back to bite us in the tourney

We stayed within striking distance despite not having any of our primary ball handlers available for the last ten minutes of the half. We can do this.

Cut out giving up offensive boards too

I was there for the Ed Roush game.

I’m sick of this shit.

5 steals to none, UCLA's favor. Not good.

They outplayed us in the first half. Some of that was certainly due to not having either Kier or Larsson. Poor reffing or not we need to play better in the second half. I think we will.

How do you play defense when a whistle is called every play and our players are all in foul trouble?

Well, that’s one of the toughest halves we’ve had to weather all season!! We’re fortunate to only be down five!

And with Kier & Larson both with three fouls, we’re gonna be really vulnerable on defense. We absolutely need to stop their offensive rebounds - I don’t see how we prevail if they get another 8 in the second half!! And somehow establish some better ball movement, too. Not sure how many minutes we’re gonna be able to get from Kier & Larson (and they’ll be guarding exactly the guys who can exploit their foul situations…)

BTFD!!!!

Offensive boards UA 7 UCLA 6

Some positivity:

How about Adama Bal? Kid just turned 18 less than four months ago. He's going to be an absolute stud before he's done here.

Exactly. Refs will not let the UA play defense. Any contact is an automatic foul on an Arizona player.

Look at the reversal on the UCLA charge when they switched it to an And One on Tubelis.

Complete ref show so far. Seems unlikely to change

Agreed! So we need to find a way to win in this context!

Fuck the refs! Forget the refs!

BTFD!!!!

Going to be an ugly second half too. Hopefully we don't sustain any more casualties.

And the bullshit continues.

Anyone have these refs addresses?

Wow.

WTF??? These refs suck!

Can you win without a PG?

Going from bad to worse. Not good.

Inadverdent elbow, here comes more fuckery.

How are these announcers basically begging for a flagrant?

Watch them give him an F2

If they call that a flagrant then it is just for being tall.

Kier just hasn't played very smart once he got two fouls.

After he was getting hooked before that. Such garbage

Verne Harris and Padilla, two of the Pacs worst officials. Of course they are calling this game.

If they blew the whistle when a foul actually happened, Bernard wouldn't have got inadverdently slept.

That’s fucking bullshit

I hate this game

Yeah Cancun is on the line again. Total horseshit.

What a fabulous party dress y'all have. You're the talk of the gala.

Pac 12 officiating, finding new and innovative ways to fuck up the game.

BS call

I actually think that technically was the right call by the current rules. Inadvertent but I don't believe that matters.

Time to just go ham then and have everyone foul out to send a message.

I've seen this movie before.

Need a run. We're due

This game isn't gonna be over until midnight

It's not a basketball game it's a whistle practice.

Let's Go!!!!

The ucla players just lower their shoulders and plow to hoop

The fucking yoke is off our back.

We got this.

Is it our ball?

Well Duke lost at least

Is it our ball?
