his was the worse group of zebras officiating the game.  I am glad we get to leave them behind in CUSA.

Knew something was up with them when the Southern Meth player grabbed a loose ball and had practically both feet out of bounds (Bell may have pushed him) and play went on... but they weren't hesitant to blow the whistle the rest of the game. Definitely hourly employees.

When Ousmane scores, the crowd needs to yell "Abouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Student section does this occasionally throughout the game, mostly when he enters the game.

Agree 100%!  Also I think this will be the 100th win for Grant tonight.  I hope they do something special for him.

Ya. Like give him a raise!

Ousmane is great. I feel ridiculous pointing this out but he finished 7/9. Those 2 misses were a wide-open layup and another wide-open shot from just inside the paint on the side of the basket. Against good teams, those 2 shots need to be hit. I bring it up not to pick on him but because I feel like him being 7/9 is not representative of how great of a game he played. This guy is special; he just needs to finish the "easy" shots more consistently. He was dominant tonight on offense and on the glass.

the refs really took a lot of energy out of the game 42 fouls?  They were bad on both ends.

I heard Grant on the after game show say that So Miss did not have three of there best players with them.     They also had a 10 hour bus ride to get here.   This was the worse group of zebras officiating the game.  I am glad we get to leave them behind in CUSA.

The technical on the USM player for hanging on the rim late in the game was one of the worst calls I've seen this year.

Was it hanging on the rim or taunting? I couldn’t figure that out

The broadcast said it was for hanging/pulling himself up. Either way, it was an awful call. I guess the ref just felt bad for the rim.

pretty sure that early in the game a USM defender hand checked our guy that was inbounding the ball while he was still out of bounds

I couldn't either because I don't think he did either one.  The younger official was the worst.

It was mentioned a couple times last night by Hank, but I give USM credit.  Although undermanned and at the end of a long season, they played hard.
