True, and equally true, is there were fouls not called on STJ against CU that led to missed 2 point shots, rebounds that could have been put backs or CU possessions vs STJ points, and tons of moving screens by STJ's that led to open, made 2 point shots by STJ's and that did have a positive impact on STJ's points total to CU's detriment, which if the game were officiated better, CU could have won.
It's been said previously and this back and forth could go on forever, two things can be true at the same time. It's OK to point out some of the most atrocious officiating we've seen all year when it clearly has an impact on the game.
It sucks and that's why it's also true to the "other point of view" that you have to focus on what you can't control, e.g.; turnovers, 3 point shot making, and shot selection as there will be days, like against STJ's, when the officiating is gawd awful.
Lastly, I'll take CU's style of play every day of the week vs STJ's very ugly style of play that crumbles if the ref's don't allow a crap load of moving screens, hooking and shoving on rebounding, hacking players arms on layup's and put backs...
