Yes, I know it was Southern Utah, and they weren't very good.

Yes, I know it was called a foul (by an idiot ref who assumed there HAD to be a foul rather than using his eyes)

But for Jabari Bird to *catch* somebody's shot on the way up without fouling speaks to some serious athleticism, coordination, and a very smart player. (would have been Cal's ball, he managed to catch it and stay in bounds which isn't easy to do if you're running back to guard against a fast break layup).

One of the best blocks I've ever seen (and for grandmastapoop, this is better than what Smart did to that other guy).

Jabari Bird - Block

clean block. Montgomery can afford to smile.

that was just a sick play

I hate it when a ref takes an amazing play and then thinks he's more important than the game and calls a foul that he didn't even see

takes the fun out of the game

Monty sure didn't like the call, and let the ref know it!

That officiating crew was a disgrace. Two of them were overweight and slow and out of position as a result on several plays. And that call was one of them.

So bizarre to call me out. I was at that game, booing the call. Were you?

Poop,
Mainly done in jest since you posted about Marcus Smart's dunk. And yes, I was there booing the call too.
