Right - there was one ref who wanted to call the game differently than the mainstream refs. His obsession was those little hand moves that our guys use to slow the opponent down ever so slightly. Nicholson got called for one of those on Baldwin. My reaction was "If thats a foul then everybody will foul out of every game."

Bardo was pointing this out correctly. The refs are calling every little hand grab. Back off the point guard - make him shoot a jumper.

I am pissed about the reffing too but if you watch the first 5 mins of each half again, there is no question the Cats fouled more than Penn State.

Such hand check fouls usually police themselves by conference season. Players hand check less and refs relax. In the Penn State game, neither happened so we got what we all witnessed.

Cats’ guards’ D had a big role in making the game what it ended up being.
