I thought the refs really let both teams play. Didn't think they routinely favored St John's, but their decision to allow all the pushing, hand checking, holding and shoving played right into the smaller Johnnies hands, as these tactics minimized the size advantage SU had. As often happens when refs left teams beat up on each other, things got out of hand and there was nearly a major fight, as Jordan just took out McCullough on a breakaway, a play that called for a clear ejection. Old friends Karl Hess and Mike Stephens both still are really bad. Maybe the best part of leaving the Big East was getting away from those clowns. You only see refs getting teams together to shake hands after an incident in really badly reffed high school games. Couldn't believe they actually used that in a game at this level. Anyway, the refs didn't cost SU the game, but they were awful, and I just wanted to point it out.

Tom - glad you weren't the only one who felt this way. Still was surprised when CMac put the ball on the floor towards end of 2nd half the St. John's bodied him good and threw him off causing him to fall. Couldn't believe there wasn't a foul on that one.
