LeBron James complains about referees in title game
The biggest story during the second half of the NCAA Tournament championship game on Monday night was the officiating.
The referees were calling so many fouls that both teams entered the double bonus midway through the half. Zach Collins fouled out with around five minutes left, while three other players had four fouls.
The rampant fouls led to LeBron James to send this tweet complaining about all the calls:
Man I can't watch this anymore man! I would like to see the kids decide who wins the game! I mean Bruh!! Smh

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald sent something similar:
Refs please let the kids decide the game. In the bonus with more than 10 mins left in the game. Come on!!#nationalchampionship

One of the worst foul calls was this flagrant on Przemek Karnowski, whom the refs initially said was the one who got fouled.

Another call that had many up in arms was this fourth foul called on Collins. Officials shouldn’t be that much of the story for a championship game.
