Since you guys are pointing out the flagrantly bad officiating, I will add my 2 cents.
JB was getting hammered constantly under the basket. Arkansas was undersized so they fouled whenever we successfully fed the post. This officiating crew called a few, but ignored most. These were hard fouls, and should have been obvious.
CJP was complaining, naturally, and that led to the Technical. The Tech was called by Covington, BTW.
During one time out in front of the scorer’s table JB showed TV Teddy his forearms, which featured a number of angry red welts from the beating he was taking. Didn’t really do any good. Teddy is often wrong, but never in doubt.
That wasn’t the only example of poor officiating in this game, but it was a clear one.
