The officiating was not that bad.... There were some bad calls but they went both ways. A few times we were lucky when it came to the calls. I dont think there was a conspiracy.

The only calls that really pissed me off came when the Marquette players were flopping on the floor after the slightest bit of contact and the refs were quick to blow the whistle on us. That was getting pretty ridiculous at one point.

Its cumulative count at this point. An opportunity was at hand for the team to delivery a marque win. While he may have done well for the first 59 minutes, YOU HAVE TO FINISH THE GAME.

"HE" wasn't the one passing and shooting the basketball.

the coach isn't out on the floor playing the game, he can only do so much.  the players have to take what he tells them to do and put it to the floor, the turnovers are due to sloppy passes and lost dribbles.  you cannot blame this loss on the coach, he didn't make that pass, it was a player.  get off of Mac and look at the whole situation and not just wins and losses, the team played its heart out tonight, the coaches coached their hearts out, hell Mac was even given a technical foul for arguing a bogus call, now you tell me he does nothing, this refs were out to make sure that Marquette did not loss today.  plain and simple this was the worst officiating i have seen in a while, its amazing we managed to stay in the game with all the bogus fouls called on us.

and how many points did that T cost us?

the T cost us two points, but it was a T that shouldn't have been called, he did nothing wrong except argue a call that shouldn't have been called.  the refs were horrible

no one hates rmc

he cant coach

he cant win

he cant recruit

and he shouldnt be usf's coach next year

Are you donating for his Buyout? Woolard is waiting on those checks.

That is a cop out....if the University is serious about having a quality men's program it could certainly afford to open up the purses to make it happen.  Let's remember the facts: USF was invited to join the Big East but nobody forced us to join.

is NOT a cop out is REALITY, IF you think that USF moved to the Big East for basketball then you are dreaming. USF's move to BE had to do with FOOTBALL and BCS access, thtas were the BIG money lies and its the sport that will in the future FUND ALL of our athletic programs just like it does at FSU,UF and Miami. Right now USF does not have the money to spend on a buyout and bring a coach that will improve attendance by 1,000 or so the facts are that a USF basketball turnaround is NOT going to happen overnight.

So IF we cant pay our football assistant coaches comparable to BCS teams it will be awhile before we will spend big money on basketball.

I think for the good of the program we need a change in leadership in basketball but the FACTS are that USF DOES NOT have the cash for a MEANINGFUL change and buyout.

1. I don't hate Mac

2. Mac cost us that game.  In a game that close you DO NOT get a tech called on you.  Cost us two points and would have changed the game completely at the end.

3. Don't want to blame the refs - two were good but the short little black ref called three fouls on Gransberry - two of which could have gone either way and not having him in there at the end may have cost us the game.

4. Mac DID NOT blame Howard at all, if anything he said no one could tell what he saw but they were trying to execute the play he called.

5. I think this team plays strong at home - except for the UL game.

6.  We need a three point shooter - a really good one.

7.  Gransberry is beast down low.

8. This team is capable of beating almost any BE team at home.

9.  Anyone saying the coach should have forced Marq into fouling us didn't watch the game.

10. Lets hope this game didn't take the wind out of the sails for the team.  If they take it as a positive then the ND game should be a good one.

Woulda, Coulda. shoulda's do not win ballgames. The team did well yesterday. Mistakes cost us, yes, but overall a better performance as of late. Some poor decesions made, yes, but that has been the norm. Cosistency is what we need. Not negative, but positive consistency.

That happened so early in the game, it's kind of a reach to put that much importance on it. Plus, what he did I've seen opposing coaches do on numerous occasions and not get T'd up for it. It must have been a culmination of things that finally led to it ... and the call on Gransberry was horrible.
