For all those who defame posters who say some games are fixed...

Question

...would you agree with them after last night if you had Boise State over Colorado State?

The consensus opening line was Boise State -2/-2.5.

Do I think these refs in this game are in with the mob? Do I think these refs are attempting to brazenly line their pockets in the face of massive media and social media scrutiny?

Does it matter what I believe? For those who bet on Boise State, it is clear: something is wrong here. Never in in my life have I heard of refs assessing tenths of a second with their OWN stop-watch! What is a time-keeper for? And why put the onus on BSU or the player to keep that sliver of time when he sees the backboard is not red-lit before he releases the shot!?! That is precisely what the timekeeper' job is! Not the refs!

At a bare-minimum, even if it's a home-cookin' call, it still effects the BSU bettor the same way as if it was on outright fix.

Sickening of you had BSU -3/-2.5/-2. Just disgusting...even when you win is sports gambling, you find a way to lose.

Just watched the commentary (ESPN) by Seth Greenberg..."the refs need to be suspended for sheer ignorance, if for nothing else, Boise St was robbed of a victory"  "If the game was played in Boise, the &#x27;timekeeper&#x27; would have not gotten out of the Arena alive"..

my bad: here it is:The failure of Jim Burr, Tim Higgins and Earl Walton to officiate until the final buzzer of the St. John&#x27;s-Rutgers&#xD;&#xA; Big East second-round game Wednesday at Madison Square Garden was &#xD;&#xA;"unacceptable," the head of the NCAA&#x27;s officiating told ESPN.com.John&#xD;&#xA; Adams, the national coordinator of men&#x27;s basketball officiating, is in &#xD;&#xA;charge of selecting and managing the 98 officials for the NCAA &#xD;&#xA;tournament. He said whether Burr, Higgins and Walton advance to work the&#xD;&#xA; quarterfinals of the Big East tournament "is not my business."St.&#xD;&#xA; John&#x27;s beat Rutgers 65-63 Wednesday. But Rutgers should have had one &#xD;&#xA;more shot attempt to tie or win because the Red Storm&#x27;s Justin Brownlee stole a pass from Rutgers&#x27; Gilvydas Biruta&#xD;&#xA; but then traveled while celebrating and then stepped out of bounds with&#xD;&#xA; 1.7 seconds remaining on the clock, according to the ESPN broadcast. &#xD;&#xA;Brownlee then hurled the ball in the stands as his coach, Steve Lavin, &#xD;&#xA;was walking down the sideline to shake Rutgers coach Mike Rice&#x27;s hands. &#xD;&#xA;The officials had exited the court.

Just brutal.

That&#x27;s pathetic. In the slo-mo version you can see the clock begin to countdown when the ball touched his hands.Kayser Sozee....The NFL should be renamed the World Football Federation...I&#x27;m still kicking myself for not betting Denver and if they lost just living with Kayser being shown the door. But no, that b.s. non-catch call at the beginning of the game was the giveaway for what was to come. That was a catch and no way on earth the ref saw anything to call it a non-catch in realtime and then the review never showed the ball hit the ground, his hand was under the ball. Next play was a Denver def td and set the tone for the entire game.
