The refs mistakenly thought everyone turned out to watch them and not the basketball players

Loved this comment!

I sometimes laugh about the hand-wringing on this (and other) fan boards about referees.  I saw the game live, so without the benefit of replays and commentary, but last night seemed to be way beyond just an "off night" for the crew in stripes IMO.  On the Bear Insider, there were many similar comments - and not complaining just about calls against Cal.  Even their complaints noted inconsistencies both ways.  And the delays in the game were really annoying - not sure they helped correct anything either.  I kept thinking, just get it wrong & move on.

One minor milestone from this game - Stanford has now clinched a spot in the ACC tournament, something that has been a foregone conclusion for awhile now, but was not at the beginning of the season.  Next step - clinching a first round bye.
