Too many whistles (fouls, turnovers). Could not keep the big redhead on the court. Could not handle the EIU press. Fall 78-77.
Embrace the pace of the race.

Easily one of the worst officiated games of the season. The refs were clearly on EIU's side. The red head had his way every time he was out there. They couldn't stop him (or any of our bigs)! The only problem was that he could not stay in the game because of the refs. Many late, and nonexistent calls last night. But it wasn't just on our bigs. Our guards were getting hammered and there wasn't anything being called. Then there was eastern who seemed to get every call.

Kids have to learn how to deal with the press. If I was our opponent, I would press them every possession. They could barely get it across half court. Too many rebounds also. Alot of second chances for EIU.

This game reminds me of the Chicago state game from a couple of years ago, When the refs were clearly bribed and blew the game for western. Think there was even better calls and officiating in that game too! Horrible, just horrible.

I didn’t see the game but I saw that bobby Daw was one of the officials we had him for several home games a couple of years ago and yes I’m that guy who knows many of the officials by name

Very disappointing loss, especially with the late lead. Too many turnovers and yeah struggle with the press.

Macomb Comcast Channel 524 is Fox Sports Midwest-Plus.
