Trojans upset over foul calls
Accustomed to shooting more free throws than opponents, the USC Trojans were incredulous after Arizona State was awarded 36 second-half attempts. "The foul calls were just ridiculous," said Taj Gibson, who was the second Trojan to foul out when he was disqualified with 8 minutes 30 seconds remaining. "I'm not taking anything away from Arizona State -- they played a great game -- but at the end of the game you look at the foul calls and you've got to question it. Half of our starting five fouled out." USC nearly ran out of players after two starters and two reserves fouled out, finishing the game with a lineup that included two walk-ons, two reserves and starting guard Dwight Lewis.

Awwww, what's the matter, did USC not get the SPECIAL treatment they THINK they're entitled to? I guess nobody told the refs that fouls are only for the OTHER team! Whiney little pansies.

Haha good call DJ is Dr. Cool, I don't know how 2.5 players can foul out, maybe they cut one in half. And yeah some of the calls were ticky tack, but it's about time ASU got some calls. Additionally, don't play like thugs if you don't wanna get foul calls, that's how they played the first half, and the refs decided to call a tighter second half.

Come on guys, lay off the Trojans! They just need to learn to move a little more gracefully on the court. I recommend they all sign up for the Ballroom Dancing class that Matt Leinart took his last year there, assuming the academic demands are not too severe.

Not a USC fan by any means but I have seen plenty of games this year throughtout the Big 12 where it doe seem that the refs want to decide the outcome of a game. They just haven't been very consistent. I think the NCAA should review games in question and if they find a ref at fault they either fine them or pull until they get new glasses.

If you don't want so many fouls called, quit committing so many fouls.

Bad calls: yes you adjust. But when your whole team basically fouls out, what adjutments can any coach make? 36 file shots in one half
