[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 391726, member: 231"] In the first half about the time it was 20-1 I began to think the refs were taking pity on Pitt and trying to effect the game in their favor, a bit, to make it less embarrassing. I was starting to feel bad for them as well (because they were at home). So it could have been my own pitying heart that made me think the refs were tilting that way. We all know college basketball refs have no soul, so compassion is impossible from them. I should add, that I don't think such compassion or "mercy rules" has any place in collegiate sports [I]beyond [/I]the discretion of the head coaches (like not stopping the clock in the 4th quarter of a football game). Refs have to do their best to be stoic and inhuman robots, calling it as they see it, and by the book. I am just commenting on my own emotionally influenced perception. I guess this can happen when you become a father to a daughter. [/QUOTE]
