Did anyone notice that one of the refs tonight, Tina Napier (pony tail ref), was one of the refs from Monday's Tennessee/Rutgers 0.02 second finish fiasco! I 'bout died when I saw her ponytail flopping up and down the court out on the court!
I didn't realize that, but out of the three bad refs I did notice the entire night that she was the worst. I don't blame Morrow and Raven for getting techs at all, I probably would have gotten one too if I had to play a D1 college game with intramural refs.
I also noticed that she was one of the lame refs from the Tenn/Rutgers game...and she & her cohorts didn't do much to change my opinion of them.
and what, oh wise one, would those be?? And I thought "bald boy" ref was worse... The most idiotic call those 3 stooges made was when E-Bay fell down, and then the Baylor player flopped down on her own "as if" E-Bay had tripped her....of course, the bozos called it on E-Bay. I wanna know why Women's D1 refs suck so bad....pray, tell me!!
If you think Napier is a horrible ref at the D1 level she's worse in the WNBA. Bad refs really take away from the game and keep fans away.

But Come on Glad, have you EVER left a BB game just before tip-off when you saw the officials walk on to the court? Have you even heard of someone leaving because of the officials assigned to a BB game? I’ll bet not. With tickets costing what they do, if we’ve paid for them, we use them
The two worst calls of the game IMO were: -Baylor player steamrolls one of our defenders at the top of key and the refs calls it a block. There cannot possibly be a more obvious charge that that unless it involves a stiffarm. -Raven catches the ball in the post with Wilson behind her, Wilson doesn't move, Raven turns and shoots the ball right into Wilson's hands and Wilson gets called for a hack. Rachel Allison's constant flopping was also really annoying.
