Reason No. 3 – Obvious missed calls

We are all human and do make mistakes. Why not take advantage of the technology and instant replay already available and implement that into college basketball to overrule those “mistakes” made by referees.

Take for example in last night’s game. Rawle Alkins went up for a block with his team down seven points with 3:28 left in the game. Somehow the Pac-12 referees saw something no one in the world saw and called a foul on him. Are you kidding me!? That was all ball.

Now if there were a challenge system in place during last night’s game, that would have been an obvious call that would have been overturned. No doubt about that! But it wasn’t, and Alkins was called for a foul for blocking a ball, WOW!
