In the last 2 years I have come to have a different view on Burr and Higgins. It used to be that when I saw them, I immediately thought it gave 10 pts to our opponent. Upon closer review I realize they are unbiased in their ineptness. Everyone shares in it. I did a Google search of random terms to see if other College Basketball fans have similar stories to what we saw during the Louisville-SU game, and there is tons of data. Pitt, WVU, Texas (twice), SJU, Rutgers, Michigan St have all been screwed by Burr. Texas got KO'ed from the tournament due to him and also lost to UConn in the other.
That being said, one bit of crooked refereeing I always heard whispers about had to do with the NCAA tournament. Rumour had it that whenever the chattering class start talking about Bubble Team, Big East bubble teams most always get the wins they need to get off the bubble. I first heard this 10 years ago and it holds kind of true. Though it did not help Syracuse in 2001-02.
