Anyone find it interesting that they changed their mascot from the Fighting Sioux, but their basketball arena is still called the Sioux Center?

Ralph was very much against a change in mascot from what I hear.

Being a mascot is one thing. Having a building named after you is totally different.

Just call 'em as a I see 'em. Which is why I call you what I do.

Afraid to tell, but poor officiating isn't just a BSC issue. And I don't mind it when being called handsome.

:lol:

Poor officiating is an issue to some degree everywhere. It's just much, much, much worse in the bsc.

You seem to think that the officials that work BSC games only work BSC games...hint....they work other Conferences too.

Yes, but almost never as teams. There is some individual crossover, but those shitty bsc officials are then mixed with two officials of a higher caliber who officiate games in real conferences. The bsc gets the lowest of the low, so their awfulness cannot be dampened by two better officials.

You do realize they joined because the officials they could get previous were even worse. You continue to bitch about an issue that doesn't really have a clear path to improvement for the BSC. They are doing the best that they can. And I know your remedy is for the Montana to leave the BSC, but that really is no remedy because there is no place for them to go.

Tough to play defense in this league

Yup. Wasn't too bad in the first half but this second half they're calling a lot of tickytack fouls.

Akoh out with 4 fouls, Krslovic, Moorehead and Oguine with 3. Also looks like Oguine's knee is bothering before that last timeout.

Griz still up though with about 6:30 to go.

Think there are any Big Sky teams that are in the top 100 for fewest fouls? Nope. How many Big Sky teams are in the bottom 100? 8 out of 12 are in the bottom 100 for fouls per game with 9 out of 12 teams being in the bottom half of D1 basketball.

PSU: #351 - 23.9 per game
UM : #345 - 22.8 per game
SUU: #344 - 22.7 per game
MSU: #321 - 21.1 per game
NAU: #292 - 20.2 per game
EWU: #289 - 20.2 per game
UND: #265 - 19.7 per game
UNC: #263 - 19.6 per game
WSU: #189 - 18.3 per game
UI : #149 - 17.9 per game
ISU: #117 - 17.3 per game
SAC: #114 - 17.3 per game

How about fouls per possession? Ouch...10 teams in the bottom half of D1 basketball.

U M: #349 - 31.3% (30.1% at home, 31.9% on the road)
PSU: #342 - 30.4% (32.3% at home, 29.7% on the road)
SUU: #341 - 30.3% (28.5% at home, 31.8% on the road)
MSU: #319 - 29.0% (27.5% at home, 29.9% on the road)
EWU: #300 - 28.2% (26.8% at home, 28.8% on the road)
NAU: #280 - 27.6% (31.8% at home, 25.9% on the road)
UNC: #225 - 26.3% (25.7% at home, 26.7% on the road)
WSU: #203 - 25.8% (25.1% at home, 26.4% on the road)
UND: #201 - 25.8% (25.0% at home, 26.2% on the road)
U I: #192 - 25.5% (23.6% at home, 26.4% on the road)
SAC: #158 - 25.1% (24.6% at home, 25.4% on the road)
ISU: #104 - 24.2% (23.1% at home, 25.0% on the road)

How about free throw attempts per 100 trips down the court by opponents? 9 out of 12 in the bottom half.

PSU: #331 - 32.82
SUU: #325 - 32.29
UM : #323 - 32.17
UNC: #258 - 28.60
NAU: #240 - 28.03
MSU: #235 - 27.83
EWU: #201 - 26.93
ISU: #199 - 26.73
WSU: #196 - 26.59
UND: #168 - 25.91
UI : #148 - 25.47
SAC: #121 - 24.49

It would be interesting if those stats were broken down by conference so we could see which conference has the most whistle happy refs on average. I'm guessing the Big Sky would be one of the worst. And yes I understand that many of the refs also ref in other conferences not just the Big Sky. Do you think they call the game differently when they're reffing a game in the Pac12 or MW? I didn't look up MW or Pac-12 teams on those rankings.
