The refs were fairly one-sided all game long, from calling touch fouls on Kirk v. Budinger and allowing Bayless to carry the ball while tagging Sloan for it.
But it's something I've experienced for 10+ years watching Arizona State get screwed down in Tucson on a yearly basis.
It's a very disappointing loss because they were clicking so well early in the game. Last year, these scoreless droughts would be tempered by Acie taking the game over, but this team hasn't developed such a player. Joe Jones needs to stop picking up stupid fouls when he has 4 already, even if those 4 previous ones were a joke. I do think last year, though, that even when the Ags had a scoring drought, BCG's defense never let up and kept them in the game... still, he can't guard against 16 FTs.
