Yeah I was there and when I say bad refs I mean they were bad both ways. They really let the game get out of hand and it is a shame. I think they missed several walks, fouls, and does anyone know is 3 seconds is a rule anymore. Both teams camped out in the lane all night. I actually heard some fans yelling "We want Wendell" referring to Wendell Wallen who many think is the worst ref around. I think the worst thing about the refs around here is they are not consistent. One night they will call everything then the next they call nothing. This was a great game to watch though, both teams really played hard and kept hitting big shots. Congrats to the eagles and cards because either team could have won had a few calls went the other way.

I was talking to a 15th region official near the start of the season and he was told at their meeting that they were to ease up on the 3 second calls so that the game could be played more up tempo.
