According to Coach Sather's interview with Izzo when the game was first announced, there is no court at the Ralph. The one utilized for the Kansas game is no longer playable and the cost to acquire a new court would be prohibitive for one game. A packed Betty will be a great atmosphere.
I'm doing the same. At this point in my life, I'm not willing to waste my time, money or emotional capital on an athletic department that has shown zero interest in rising above mediocrity. There is no justification for this extension and it's just the latest in a series of questionable decisions under Chaves. Unfortunately, I don't believe it will make any difference if he leaves and they just promote from within since it's all the same philosophy.
It was a mix. The officiating left a lot to be desired. There was one abysmal call against us that was a block 100%. Mallory gave the refs an earful on that one and got an immediate makeup illegal screen call on the next possession. The other charges looked legit. A couple of the offensive fouls were illegal screens.
Overall, just a really poor performance by the team.
