“I hope they don’t f— you like they f—-d us.” Since Dan Hurley gave out this warning about NCAA officials to Baylor players after his own team’s March Madness elimination, the criticism around the referees has seen an increase. From men’s Florida vs. Maryland to the women’s LSU Tigers and NC State Wolfpack, social media has been flooded with outrage. The Gators, who have been caught in the crosshairs twice already, seem to have hit the trifecta now!
The matchup between the Florida Gators and the Texas Tech Red Raiders ended with the former securing the win by a 84-79 score. With this win, the Gators have now become the first team in this tournament to qualify for the Final Four series. Unfortunately, their win wasn’t without any issues, as reports of unnecessary calls by referees started piling in over the course of the game.
One social media user wrote, “The refs in this #Florida #Texastech game are horrible. The @NCAA has gotten awful in every sport. This is absurd.” Yikes!
