1. As every coach I’ve ever had has said, if you play the game right, you don’t have to ever worry about the refs. The officials made a bad call at the end, which would have been irrelevant if Colorado hadn’t choked, horribly, in the last three minutes. The refs didn’t shoot 59% from the free throw line. The refs didn’t throw the ball away multiple times down the stretch. The refs didn’t transform the Buffs from ((uncharacteristically) lights-out shooters into brick factories in the last three minutes.

2. I should amend my previous statement: the refs made not one but *three* bad calls in the last minute or so. Yes, they made the inexplicable decision to overturn the call at the end of the game.

But they also inexplicably decided that grabbing Nick Johnson’s non-ball-handling arm while he had a free lane to the basket somehow did not constitute a flagrant one. And they also inexplicably decided that Dinwiddie slipping and falling over of his own volition–and leaving Lyons and two other ‘Cats with an open line to the basket–somehow constituted a foul.

So, yes, the refs blew the call at the end, but only after gift-wrapping Colorado two bad calls–and if Colorado had had the stones and talent to capitalize on those two terrible calls, the terrible call at the end would have been entirely irrelevant.

A 53-point win, wonder what all the fuss was about last night?

This writer is a total idiot.

Buffs won 83-30.
